To Begin Again...He's All I Need

"Every new beginning comes from another beginning's end." 

-Unknown

Today I feel like Abraham. I trusted God to care for me and asked him to have his will with me. He blessed me  with a family and a comfortable, stable home to keep them in.

Then, he said, "Move,"  He put a door in front of me, opened it, and said, "drop everything and Go." 

So, we did. My husband and I have quit our jobs. We're packing up our house, and are following God's call into a new town, a new home, a new church, a new ministry, and essentially, an entirely new beginning. Unlike Abraham, though, God's not sending us to a foreign country. He's not really sending us "away" at all. He's not sending us from a comfortable home into a wilderness to sleep in a tent. So, I guess It could be worse, but it's still scary. It's still a new venture that requires us to have a little faith. It's still a new town with new people in it. There's still a new baby coming, and there's still a new and very different job start.

It's scary and worrisome to pack up and leave some place where you've started making a home. It's sort of frightening to turn in your two-weeks notice at a really good job when your baby's due date is barely a month away. Of course, there are plenty of little worries. There are scads of things I just don't know about, little things that try to creep into my mind and take away my peace. But it's only life and life is full of new beginnings that God is in control of. Those new beginnings don't always come when you're expecting them, and they don't always come in package deals. Sometimes they do though. Sometimes life changes in increments; other times it changes in instants, but no matter what, it changes. What really matters is how you face it and who you face it with. As for me, I face it like this:

"All things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to his purpose"

-Romans 8:28 

 Then, when the little worries come like children tattling one each other, trying to take away my peace, I sing them a song that mom used to sing. I remind them that to begin again, He's all I need.

He's all I need when I just need someone to talk to,
He's always there to hear my prayer each time I call him;
All my needs He will supply, my thirsty soul He satisfies,
He's the Lord of all. He's all I need......

"He's All I Need"
