Our last move brought us 1700 miles east. We packed everything in PODs and let someone else move those things east, while we drove for three days. Oddly enough when we moved to and from Asia it took us less time and cost us less money. Anyway you look at it, moving is a long arduous process. Recent studies indicate that most people consider moving more stressful than divorce or having kids.
Stress is the result of our reactions to circumstances rather than the circumstances themselves. When we feel out of control, our stress level goes up. God offers the perfect solution to stress in all circumstances. Philippians 4:6-7 says, “do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Give it to God. He can handle it and will take care of it.
