been searching for inspiration

but haven't really found any just yet, so this blog might not be of any interested to any one reading...ryan and i have been having some lazy days this week. he is finishing up at work this week, so he still has to get up early...but, me, i get to sleep in, until at least 9:15 or so (which is when my body makes me get up for some reason!). i just kind of piddle around-cleaning this, thinking about packing that, and looking at housing options online...all the time wondering if we really are going to make this move. two weeks and less than one day now, and counting-but it still doesn't quite seem real that we are about to pack up all our meager belongings and move west. you know, it's interesting, in the the book of Genesis, every time someone moved west, it was a sign of them following God and a sign that good things were coming...but when people moved to the east (or went east), it was always a sign that they were not heading in a good direction. so, a little hope there that things are going to be okay?? :) really, i'm nervous about moving (okay, scared is a more fitting word), but i feel very peaceful about it at the same time... like i know that it's where God is leading us, even though it's going to be a BIG transition. so anyway, we are about to go west and start a new life, in a way... i keep calling it a journey, for some reason...and i keep thinking about that michael card song, "joy in the journey":
There is a joy in the journey
There's a light we can love on the way
There is a wonder and wildness to life
And freedom for those who obey

And all those who seek it shall find it
A pardon for all who believe
Hope for the hopeless and sight for the blind

To all who've been born in the Spirit
And who share incarnation with Him
Who belong to eternity stranded in time
And weary of struggling with sin

Forget not the hope that's before you
And never stop counting the cost
Remember the hopelessness when you were lost

There is a joy in the journey
There's a light we can love on the way
There is a wonder and wildness to life
And freedom for those who obey

And freedom for those who obey...

i wish i knew how to link the song on to here, because it's really a beautiful song...one of those that touches you deep down. but, alas, i know not how...
