If you haven't got all the things you want, be grateful for the things you don't have, that you don't want.
-unknown-
I must confess that although I've been trying to accept the limbo that I am being put into right now with our living situation and eventual move, its been very hard. I have many days where I rant and rave and beat my head against the wall in utter frustration. My perfectionism is tested. My color-coded schedules and routines are scattered about and I want to run away from it all.
But I do have a lot to be grateful for.
Especially those things that I don't want that I thankfully don't have either.
So I remind myself that there is a lesson in here.
And when we are finally in our home it will be all that much sweeter because its not coming easily.
Since we are all really not that different from one another will you share with me any similar circumstances you've had to go through, that took you out of your comfort zone and what lesson you ultimately learned? Or does all of this glass is half full stuff come naturally to you? If so, I'd still like to hear from you. I have much to learn about changing my perception and I'm taking baby steps...

I can relate to that limbo! Moved into my dream home one August, work transferred us next June, temporary home from company 2 months, rental home for one year, bought another home. Five houses! Six homeschooled kids! A bajillion books. What did years of the limbo you desribed teach me? We're just pilgrims, here, sister. This world is not our home, we're just passing through. You're longing, as I did, for a HOME, a settled home. I learned I didn't long for HEAVEN, my eternal home, as I longed for an earthly home.
Home is important, but in those times of limbo and type-A list-not-getting-done frustrations, keep looking up, as you are, and let Him speak. When He does, the LIMBO becomes a burning bush. You are wisely waiting for the lesson - He WILL meet you there in the clutter, in the chaos, in the unknowing...Keep looking up, sister!
