The Very Important Meeting

Vernon and I went to the Very Important Business Meeting yesterday (not really sure why I needed to be there, but, whatever) and we met with a guy that looked like an Italian version of Alec Baldwin who helps chiropractors open up their businesses.

Here is what we came up with:

We (a realtor that Alec Baldwin works with, actually) are now looking for office locations in and near (drumroll please)... St. Louis Park and White Bear Lake.

There it is... St. Louis Park or White Bear Lake.

I've come up with a realization: Deciding on a place to live is kind of like giving birth. When you give up control of it and let God take over, that is when things start to happen. For whatever reason, I've hung on to the confusion of finding out where we're supposed to live for far too long. It feels good just to leave it up to God now.

To let go and let God.

So, wherever we find the best office within those two locations, that's where we'll move to.

I've been praying about this for a long time. I kept praying for some big sign of certainty, so I would know for sure where it was that we should move. But I've come to realize that God doesn't always use a big voice when talking to us. God's voice is usually the quiet one, within us, that we really need to pay attention to in order to hear. (Read the book The Still Small Voice by Echo Bodine for more on this. It's a good one.) And, a lot of time, that voice comes with letting go.

I'm better now.
