A cross country move is no small thing to coordinate. We started packing early because we knew it was going to be a monumental undertaking and we don't have the energy to do it all in the last week or two. The downside, however, is that you are living with the chaos for a lot longer. Sometime in the night I think I turned the corner from "things are going along smoothly" to "would someone please just GET ME OUT OF THIS SITUATION!?!" I woke this morning with dread at facing another day of packing, decision-making, looking for something that is already packed and inaccessible, weariness at being surrounded by chaos with no escape. Realistically, things are going well. Emotionally, I'm starting to wear down and the thought of going through everything in reverse at the other end is no comfort. It's kind of like having a baby - you just have to get through it. Ironically, I was reading in Hebrews this morning about "entering into His rest". I needed those words. I think a prayer walk is in order for today - time to escape the mess and get my compass aligned with the eternal perspective. God is still in control.
