I have dreamt of today for a couple years now..

Planned, worried and prepared…

But now,

The boxes are packed,

A house in boxes to be moved to a home.

Now it’s dawned on me…

I am leaving all I have known for nearly 20yrs,

to a new mindset…a new way… new people… wow! When all said it was a “big step” we were taking …I took no notice.

So I will not smell winter of spice and cinnamon and all that is Christmas in England…

So I will not see my morning birds that visit outside the kitchen window…Mr Robin in the winter months and Mr Magpie and friends…

And will not see the blossoms of my cerrytree in spring as it opens delicately white with a hue of pink, and the bloom of my spring garden with the daffodils and tulips in the ray of colours red, pink and yellows, and as summer warms up the bloom of the five rose bushes, Wow!

Quietly as I pack up the last boxes I get a nut in my tummy and everything seemed to move in slow motion..

Ah! A new adventure …and new chapter in the pages of my life…Lord you told me this year was going to be a year of “taking the limits off , expanding my boundaries and stepping out”

 it sure has been…I never for saw this happening …So soon, but you said “dream big dreams” and I sure did! As I and my family take this “big step” and have our “walk on the water moment” with you Lord, I am confident, excited and full of expectation of what you have in store for us in the very near future.
