Four guys and myself - laoding truck all day - from 8 am - 7. Had to get another truch. Could not fit it all. I guess this is the end of my antique collecting. Brett is in bed - 7 pm. We had to borrow more money - OMG This is costing us. I had to bring Kelsey to hospital today. She has a huge cyst on her tail bone. They said she will need surgery. We dont even have money for her antibiotics til we get to Oregon. My brother is lending us money. Brett is so burnt out, I will be amazed if he does not start drinking. I cannot describe the pain I am in. Had to hire a friend to drive second truck. We have about 6 hours of more moving tomorrrow. Then 8 hour drive. 3 vehicles with 3 cats, 2 dogs, snake, 2 birds, aquarium. I am shaking - scared. The house is ours - we don't even have work yet and Brett's house has not sold. Pray for us. This has to be one of the toughest days of my life The house funded and recorded yesterday. My hands are shaking so bad. Yes, I have fibromyalgia. I got a flu shot and it swelled up as big as a tennis ball.
I will pray for you. Change can be frightening but it also opens up new possibilities. Your life is an amazing story and you're about to start writing a new chapter! Take a few deep breaths and try to let go of some of the stress...it can really suck the life out of you. The hard part will be over soon!

Roxy, I'm not going to tell you that you cannot do this. Because you can. You're mid-stream where the current is strongest. You have to cross all the way over before any of it is going to get better.
Unfortunately, you are being piled high with problems. But I am still as sure of this move as from the day you first mentioned it. Reach up to God and say, "Enough is enough, Please make it happen." And, He will. I have every confidence in that.
I don't have physical strength any more. But life goes on. The strength that carries me through comes from God watching over me. I am starting to see that even the crisis in my life are but opportunities for Him to do something unexpected. As my resources dwindle, I see Him step more and more into my life.
I don't talk about God much. But the feelings run deep. The reason I speak of it here is because you have exhausted all your human resources. Now, all you have left is your faith. It is all that you need in the end. And, yes, I expect you to remind me of this later when I am at my wit's end.
Hang in there. Again, you are almost home.
My dear Roxy, I haven't posted much lately, but you have been in my thoughts & prayers.
I can only imagine how much stress you are under right now, but hopefully you are starting down the hill now. I pray you will soon be able to enjoy the rewards of all your love and hard work.
I'm so sorry to hear about Kelsey's new problem. Do you need to have her surgery now or can you do it in Oregon? I hope everything goes well with her surgery. If it's what I'm thinking of, it is not an easy recovery.
Just wanted to let you know my thoughts and prayers are with you, the you will be granted the strength you need to get you through and settled in your new home with your dear family.
Gentle hugs and Blessings,
Nini
My prayers are with you Roxy. It can only get better.Awful tough day. It's gotta get better right?
Hi Roxy-Such an exhausting process. Drive careful. Get rest when you can, and keep looking up. One of my favorite cChristian worship songs is called "glorious" and one of the lines is "God will save the day and all will say my glorious..."
Rest in Him and let Him save the day!!
