So, we're moving in just two weeks. In two weeks I have to have the house completely packed up and move.
Part of me is so hugely excited, part is anxious, part nervous, and then there's the part that doesn't want to leave. I look out of my window into the trees and think, "I can't do this, I can't leave."
I love the view out my windows. I love the trees. I love watching "Crazy Squirrel" jump off the corner of the roof onto a tiny branch on his way to his nest. I love the sound of birds in the branches and the surprises I've gotten, like the falcon right on the limb outside my sliding door, or the owl who almost ate Crazy Squirrel for dinner.
Well, now it is time to say good-bye and head out on a new adventure. I haven't seen my new apartment yet, so I don't know what kind of view my windows will afford me. I hope it's a nice one. One that will allow me to ponder on God's goodness as I look out.
I've watched the seasons change here and enjoyed each one. The soft, barely there green of spring, the intense, full green of summer, the rainbow colors of autumn and the baren, waiting stillness of winter.
God has been so good to us here, and I can only pray, hope and believe that He will be the same in the next place. "I am the same, yesterday, today and forever." He says. I know I can believe Him.
