MATTHEW 6:34

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own

I have been clinging to this verse on the days I feel emotionally overwhelmed… so much to do, So many decisions to make, So many what if’s, hopes and unknowns.  So much is left up to the last minute, timing and ultimately God’s Will.  I am taking one day at a time right now and really trying hard to not “worry about tomorrow” and just focusing on what is here and now in the immediate present.  Having gone thru a move with the company before, I have learned there is so little planning you can actually do.  It is an experience that has to unfold as it goes.  With each unfolding, come new challenges, new questions and answers.  I have learned not to worry “too much” about the future what ifs, as they will still be there in the future - I do however enjoy planning and preparing to alleviate some future troubles or difficulties.

Philippians 4:6  Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. "Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls. "For My yoke is easy, and My load is light."

I have been emailing back and forth with someone that lives in Abu Dhabi, I mentioned her before in a previous post.  I am thankful for the contact and know that this is the Lord’s way of putting my heart at ease and allowing me prepare for a world of difference and change.

here are some pictures she shared with me of the neighborhood that she lives in and we will also most likely live.

VILLA  

here are the “Villas”   they look similar to a condo here in the US.  except the terracotta roof and stucco walls.. which i love
VILLAPOOL

this is the pool in the gated community of villas.. it looks like top right has tennis courts?

VILLAKITCHEN

oh dear, this is a total radical change from what I am used to.  My kitchen is absolutely glorious here in Sugar Land. I better enjoy it while I can.  ^^this is what all of the kitchens look like since all the villas are identical.  Surprisingly I am most bummed about the electric cook top.. I have been so spoiled by my gas stove. Yes, that is the washer/dryer you see in there.  Seriously the kitchen makes me want to cry.

Here is my kitchen now:

So good to see where you will probably be staying. I am sure that brings you some piece of mind. Unfortunately the kitchen is definitely a downgrade. :( Boo for an amazing chef like yourself. Love the pool though and an already friend!!! That is HUGE!!

So cool to see it! Yeah, the kitchen is the definite downside. But you are so creative I can't wait to see how you'll have it all fixed up in no time...well, I'd rather you not go, but you know what I mean :)

Your US kitchen is my dream kitchen! Love it. But, maybe you could jazz up the new kitchen?

Your old kitchen is beautiful and I feel you. Our old kitchen was spacious and had a gas stove too. Sigh.....It's only temporary, right? Plus - it could be worse (that's what I keep telling myself)
