What Else Can I Say!?
So many times in life we take things for granted! It is bad enough when we take the little things for granted. But when you come face to face with the fact that the most important things in your life you have and are taking for granted......what a reality check!
I had this experience this past week and weekend.
I am currently in the midst of some major transitions in my life: housing change, job change, focus change. Basically everything in my life is about to change! Do you get the picture. And of course, like always, I had to do it the dramatic way. I am going from living by myself for two years, to living with 3 other girls. An apartment, to a house. A desk job, to full time energy and music with more teaching and performing. No paperwork, to nothing but paperwork. My car sitting in the driveway, to driving!
In light of all this, my mom and dad came up this past week to help me with my moving and future planning. Wow did I work them to death. Mom cooked, cleaned, packed, shopped, did everything while I at times just stood and stared for lack of knowing what to do. She even drove me to Wisconsin to sing for a major opera Soprano at a masterclass! My niece and sister, who came along, were just as helpful! My dad got up at 4:30 Saturday morning, drove to Chicago with a trailer and all my heavy stuff, loaded up my car, moved it all to the house, put my stuff together, did some shopping with us, and didn't sit down til dinner that evening!
And they stuck with me while at times I was such a pain in the butt! Once again, my family came through! Even from Indiana, my sisters and brother-in-law have done their equal share---shopping, looking, suggesting, supporting, etc.
What a family God has given me! It is a shame it takes so much for me to recognize it! What love they truly have for me!
What love I have for them! Thank you, family! You will never know what all this means to me!
