Here we go--Aloha!

I had to chart the new waters we will be traveling with a blog. I am sure I will want a record of our comings and goings where we will be moving with Garth's new job. He finally got a job in Maui, Hawaii..........of all the random places!

I personally tried to persuade Garth NOT to take the job. The logistics of actually moving 7 people there and all the upheaval that started with just the thought of it was overwhelming!

Peace came from a scripture after the surrender and acceptance of the job offer. As I asked for some sort of confirmation that this was right so I would be able to have something to hold onto when the storms came. (I expected a few bad days with Garth leaving in 2 weeks, me just getting out of surgery, and moving by myself without him. Yikes!!) I asked for a scripture as I was sitting pondering, and picked up my scriptures, they opened to Omni 1. I closed my eyes, put my finger on verse 16 and read, "And they journeyed in the wilderness, and were brought by the hand of the Lord across the great waters..." The sweetest peace went through me. I now knew without question that we were to go to Maui. Although I see it more as a paradise-not a wilderness. Here we go--Aloha!
