Turned Around

We have moved into a new house. It's awesome and we love it. I would love to post some pictures but I can't find the camera cord. It's in a box. I guess. I would also love to post some pics of the kids but, well that would require the afore mentioned camera cord. That's why I haven't posted in so long. I hate to post without pics and I can't post pics. I'm a little turned around. My goal is to get my house unpacked and organized sometime before the new year.

So, like I said we've moved into a new house. The girls are 4 and 5 and they know their way around our little town very well. They can navigate me around town to the grocery store, the church, Walgreens, CVS, Chick-fil-A, the pizza place, and to many of our friends homes. At least, they could before we moved. Although we only moved 3 miles, they are completely turned around. We use some different roads. When we use our old main roads, we enter them at a different intersection then before. We still go to all of our old places but the children cannot figure out where we are going. They typically do not even recognize which road we are on.
This has led to a lot of frustration on their part. They accuse me of being lost or of not knowing my way around. They even accuse me of lying about our destination. We have had frequent discipline problems our this issue. A few days ago, we were on our way to a friend's house. I took a different way then we did before we moved. The girls flipped out. I assured them, "We are just going the backwards way. It's okay. No,I am sure. I can get us there." Seriously, Hannah was sobbing, "We're lost. We'll never get to Miss April's house. I know this isn't the way. I know how to get there and you don't." And then! There we were! At Miss April's house. Just like I promised. We took a different way. But we arrived all the same. I pulled into the driveway and prayed, "I'm sorry God. I'm sorry that I do not know my way around my own life. I'm sorry I accuse you of forgetting me or leading my astray. I think I know the best way to get where I am going in my life but really, I'm just a turned around little girl and you are an awesome God. Help me to walk in the way you would have me to go. Help me to walk in love and trust, without fear. Thank you for my children who illuminate your goodness to me. And help me not to yell at them. Really. Please, help me not to yell at them. And thank you for not yelling at me, even though I obviously deserve it. Amen.
