On The Defensive

One of my favorite types of movies is action movies.  I like the rom-coms (romantic comedies), but they're not my favorite.  They'll do if I mindlessly want to watch TV or it's a girl's night out, but I tend to be a bit cynical to truly enjoy them. 

Not to say that action movies are realistic, but there's enough action that it doesn't drag, a bad guy and a "how are we going to catch 'em" problem/solution.  Sometimes this is really well done and sometimes it's not, but they are one of my favorite types of movies.  Which makes N extremely happy.

Lately I've felt like we're in our own action movie.  Granted there's not a villian per se, but there are problems, many moving parts, suspense and solutions that will eventually be revealed.  We're dealing with people who have different value systems than we have, different communication styles and quite frankly just frustrate me. 

In exactly 24 days N will be starting his new job.  He'll be relocating to another town and commuting home on the weekends.  That really doesn't change much to my schedule, but it does require us to buy things to get him set-up there.  We're not talking little things.  Which is needed, but terrifies me at the same time.  I have extreme peace that this is where God wants us, I'm just in the middle of the whole action-moving plot.  I'm trying to see the next step and get solutions to some of our concerns.  I'm trying to see around these people on this path, but they aren't the silent spectator on the sidelines.  They're are in our face and beating us down.

I know this will all work out, it always does in the movies.  I'm just half-way through this plot and have no idea how we'll succeed.  Yet I know this is a path chosen by someone much greater.  Even thought I don't know the end, He does.
