All I could stammer out was "What did you say honey?" She repeated it. So my mind was scrambling trying to choose whether to respond to the "black" comment or to deal with the homelessness issue that would cause people to pee on the street. Instead I kept it simple and said "Well, he must have really needed to go!" She answered "What mommy?" in a kind of confused way. After repeating myself and her staying confused I asked her to repeat SLOWLY what she'd said. Turned it it was "I saw a Black Eyed Pea back there!"this is ushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06657568837478880553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283000660063058850.post-63880731705087293182007-08-20T13:22:00.000-05:002007-08-20T13:22:00.000-05:00Rachel, I just want you to know that I'm praying f...Rachel, I just want you to know that I'm praying for your transition. Fouteen years ago God called my husband to a new job. I knew God wanted us to move and take the position. We had complete peace that we were in His will, but it still was very hard to leave our church, friends and civilization. I had always lived in big cities. We moved to a town of 1200 people, and no I didn't forget a few zeros:) I cried all the way to and from work for about 4 months wondering what we had done. I didn't like the country life and I absolutely hated my new job (this was pre-children). God showed me over the years just how wonderful this move was. It would take pages upon pages to describe the blessings we have experienced. I know it is cliche', but I wouldn't trade this for the city any day now. Just remember that we can be in God's will and yet still be sad. I believe you and your husband are going to do a great job! I'll be anxious to hear of the blessings God is going to pour your way!
