Basically these types of changes can cause a lot of
stress and worry, especially when the future is uncertain. Of course, over time many of these things
will work themselves out and life will find a new rhythm and we will learn how
to live in this new environment.
However, in the moment it felt like things were spinning round and round
and we had no idea where anything was going to end up when the turmoil was
over.
I was talking to my sister, during one of my rare times
of being on a good internet connection, and she mentioned that she was reading
a book called “How to Stop Worrying and Start Living” by Dale Carnegie. I told her that it sounded like a great book
and that I should probably read it based on how I was currently feeling, but
being in a foreign country I just wasn't sure how I was going to get my hands
on this book (in English). I thought to
myself that if I was meant to read it – then somehow it will work itself
out. Little did I know how true that
would turn out to be.
The following week, our shipping container was being
moved into a storage facility because we still hadn't found a place to
live. We were opening some boxes to find
our winter coats, boots, gloves, etc… (we were not prepared to be in temporary
housing for this long) and low and behold in one of the first boxes we opened
was THIS BOOK – “How to Stop Worrying and Start Living”. I had bought this book years and years ago
and forgot that I even had it. Turns out
that I had never read it. It is amazing
how God really stepped in at this moment to supply me with a book that I needed
to read.
God was saying loud and clear - “Now is the perfect time to read this book and here it is.”
