New Places New Plans (Jeremiah 29:11)

Last night was our second night in our new apartment in Findlay. I settles into my cool sheet and thought about what I was going to do the next day, like I always do. Before Mark got into bed I was weeping. I was thinking about the start of the new week. I was thinking about what I usually do. I get up really early and go have breakfast at Panera and have my coffee and quiet time. Then in the afternoon I would clean and take care of our home,  meet up with people and run errands. Then every day would end with me and Mark relaxing on the couch.

But this week would be way different. I have never experienced a move like this before. I could only  imagine my anxiety taking over, my usually routine would be broken, my favorite spots now 30 mins away and the people I love no longer a mile in distance from me.I have no job, no activity to take up my time, only a handful of acquaintances, strange neighbors and an unfamiliar town. I miss my Bowling Green! I hate not being able to plan my week and do the usual thing I enjoy.

Our home is beautiful, our neighborhood is lovely, the town is great and we do still have each other but....I guess it is another reason to have faith. God has plans for us in Findlay, Ohio. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11)
