Alpha and Omega

"God is the Alpha and Omega and in every Omega, there is always another Alpha. Anytime he brings us to the end of anything, there is always a beginning." Beth Moore (from session 10 video of "The Patriarchs").

I wrote this quote down last year as I watched this video. We had gotten orders to move that we didn't expect and things were crazy. But this struck a chord with me then. Now, here we are 10 months later and moving at Christmas again. Gabby's in school this year and has to move in the middle and Christmas is going to be spent homeless and in transition. Robert's going back to a tactical unit that already has deployment orders. There is a lot going on. I got a letter from a dear friend with a similar crazy time of transition - moving overseas, sending her oldest to college, trying to coordinate a mission trip with her youngest, etc. Life is scary, changes are scary. Isn't it great that God always has a new beginning for us? We don't have to worry about coming to the end of anything, because the beginning is just around the corner.
