I don't think you have to feel one way or another, but I do think what you imagine and what you actually feel when it all falls into place are two different things. You've had a lot of change in your life and I think that's a big part of the stress and unease. I know that you are so grateful and happy for everything ... and I'm so glad to hear about the new job!!!! :-) Congrats!All in His Perfect Timinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300978285191861049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437788489300637016.post-33039754564039997782011-12-15T10:19:49.029-06:002011-12-15T10:19:49.029-06:00Even happy stress is stressful!

I totally relate to loving both adventure and stability... it will take time to feel that sense of stability again in your "new normal."Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04966555296621723142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437788489300637016.post-73395868947049281562011-12-15T06:51:13.342-06:002011-12-15T06:51:13.342-06:00What you are feeling is completely normal!

You have had so much change in the recent past that you haven't had time to digest it all -- I, too, do not like change, although I fought it until I got married. <br /><br />God has presented you with so many wonderful opportunities. I know that He will lead you to good things!JellyBellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12446863670679588932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437788489300637016.post-67463089699529265702011-12-14T17:21:09.034-06:002011-12-14T17:21:09.034-06:00I think what you are feeling is very normal!

I definitely think you can be fearful and happy at the same time.Hebrews 11:1https://www.blogger.com/profile/15235249884008648163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437788489300637016.post-65508328271314763572011-12-14T17:14:25.417-06:002011-12-14T17:14:25.417-06:00I think it's normal to be stressed with all th...I think it's normal to be stressed with all the changes even if some of those changes (like becoming parents) are good changes.Lenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09173616693453942166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437788489300637016.post-9740360216978045262011-12-14T17:11:33.724-06:002011-12-14T17:11:33.724-06:00"Should you not have complete peace when thin..."Should you not have complete peace when things you dream about have become true?" - I think this is what we all expect, but it is so very different from what really happens.<br /><br />Prayers for you during this time of change and unrest.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738076740941616678noreply@blogger.com
