Arise with the morning

Do you have a favorite song? I go through seasons with songs, but I am aware that they always speak to my soul in whatever I'm going through. Right now the song of choice in our house is 'Arise' by Chris Sligh. 'Perfect remedy for all that tears at me', I'm so there right now. When talking about moving out of state, it's emotional. My hubby and I are excited and nervous in the same sentences. But our moving impacts more than just our wee family of four. We have our family roots here, and I'm talking generations of them on both sides. Both of us have families that are near and dear to us, it's one of the things we both liked in each other when we were dating. Then there are the friendships. I have a girlfriend who has become a spiritual sister in Christ to me. When our daughters were born five years ago we became inseparable. But then in a way only God can move, we became partners for growth in Christ. It's been quite the ride. I've always been aware the depth of our relationship has been for a season, but only God knows how often I've prayed that our season would last for many years. So while I don't know how much longer I'll be in Virginia, I'm treasuring every moment that I can conveniently hang out with my extended family.
