Feeling down about our recent move

[Sailor_Kenshin]

Please pray for my family and me…Well, mainly me. I’m not feeling all that happy right now with our move to FL. It doesn’t feel like Christmas here at all, my husband’s job situation isn’t going as I had hoped (a key reason we relocated here), I miss our old parish back in PA, and I just have been feeling like I wish we hadn’t moved. I like our neighborhood, my kids have adjusted great, they are doing well in school–I don’t wish we had stayed and not moved, but I’m not seeing the ‘wow’ effect of moving. I’m not seeing anything different about our lives…not that we needed a change…but moving 1000 miles…I thought that things would be more…wow. I dunno how to put this into words.

The strange thing is, my husband and I both felt that God wanted us to make this move. In His signs, and through our prayers, we felt that this was the next step, designed by God for us.

So why do I feel this way? I don’t always feel this way–but today and this week, I do. I am grateful to God for all of our blessings, but somehow…I am not seeing why He wanted us to move here. (It would take a long while to share with you what led up to our move – but there were crystal clear signs from God that this was His intent.) So, I guess I just have to swallow my ‘feelings.’ I heard a priest recently say that we need to leave our feelings out of our faith.

Ok enough of my ramblings. Please pray for me though, that somehow I snap out of this.

Awwz…

I spent one Christmas in SoCal, and it didn’t ‘feel’ like Christmas to me either. Hang in there.

My family lived in Boca for some time…beautiful place…but riddled with snobbery. It’s like NY and NJ in shorts…

WEGirl, I get to Boca a few times a year on business, some of the regional offices are there. I usually fly into West Palm, take I-95 or the Turnpike, south, to Yamoto Rd. and I am there. Boy that traffic on I-95 can really be bad.

I-95 and I-4…wow…those roads are like racetracks. Crazy drivers! So many different types…tourists, senior citizens, commuters, students…and everyone is driving like 90 mph!

I actually work for an employer who has offices spread out throughout Florida…and sometimes, I have to visit Boca, and Miami. But, I also fly. We probably sat next to each other on a flight recently, and didn’t know it.

So, I just went grocery shopping–and heard Bing Crosby singing Christmas carols as I strolled through the isles…hahaha Bing Crosby and Florida don’t go together! :whacky:

I do like the nice mild weather now though…it’s great for walking and running…it just doesn’t ‘feel’ like the holidays…and we have lived here during many Christmases in the past…but I guess we forgot this part.
