Moving madness?!?!!!!

2025/3/11 Edited to

... Read moreMoving can often feel overwhelming, but with proper planning, it doesn’t have to be. First, create a moving checklist to organize tasks well in advance. Start packing non-essential items early to reduce last-minute stress. Use quality packing supplies such as sturdy boxes and bubble wrap to protect your belongings. Label your boxes clearly to make unpacking easier. Consider hiring professional movers if your budget allows, as they can streamline the process and handle heavy items safely. If you’re moving on your own, enlist the help of friends or family for a more manageable experience. Be sure to take breaks during packing and moving days to avoid burnout. Don't forget to arrange utilities in your new home beforehand, so everything is ready upon your arrival. Finally, familiarize yourself with your new neighborhood; it can make settling in much more enjoyable. Explore local amenities, meet neighbors, and create a list of nearby restaurants and shops. With these tips, you can transform moving madness into a smooth transition into your new space.

Moving? Organize.
Seriously. It’s worth it. I spent a week decluttering and taking stock of everything that is in my house and garage. I’ve started packing but know that realistically it’ll take a few crank days to get it done before the movers get here to load up our stuff and take it to the next place!! Thankful

Be sensitive to how God is moving now!
God wants to do a new thing! Be grateful for everything that God has done in your life, just don't try to put a lid on Him and what He is doing (or what you perceive He is doing). Of course you know we can't, but sometimes we can miss what God is doing in a moment because we're dwelling
