We are moving, Finally,

So it is finally official. The Fox family has a new address at least for the next year anyway. The thought of moving again in a year makes my stomach crawl but God is, and will be with me always.  Please pray that God will give me strength and energy, moving is exhausting (as all you women know).

So I decided that I would give myself a little reminder and refresher. This is something that I posted in April of '09 but since I packed my hard copy already this is the only one that I had to read.


A woman once fretted over the usefulness of her life. She feared she was wasting her potential being a devoted wife and mother.

She wondered if the time and energy she invested in her husband and children would make a difference. At times she got discouraged, because so much of what she did seemed to go unnoticed and unappreciated.

“Is it worth it?” she often wondered, “Is there something better that I could be doing with my time?”

It was during these moments of questioning that she heard the still, small voice of her heavenly Father speak to her heart.

“You are a wife and a mother because that is what I have called you to be. Much of what you do is hidden from public eye,

But I notice.

Most of what you give is done without remuneration,

But I am your reward.

Your husband can not be the man I have called him to be without your support. Your influence upon him is greater than you think and more powerful than you will ever know. I bless him through your service and honor him through your love.

Your children are precious to Me, even more precious than they are to you. I have entrusted them to your care, to raise them for Me. What you invest in them is an offering to Me. You may never be in the public spotlight, but your obedience shines as a bright light before Me.

Continue on.

Remember you are My servant

Do all to please Me.”

What ever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Colossians 3:23,24

  1. A very good reminder. Praying for strength to pack up and move everything (and unpack). It's lots of work, but as you said, God is always with us!!
