Was watching Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian tonight and heard a song that hit a chord in me. The song is the closing credits song and it is about saying good bye but not for good. The lyrics are:
started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word
And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry
I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye
Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never
Been this way before
All you can do is try to know
Who your friends are
As you head off to the war
Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye
You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye
Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget
Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes
The first verse of this song reminded me of how this dream to move to Colorado started. It started out as a feeling. After the summer Josh and I had and then our trip to Flagstaff, we realized we were not happy in Cape. It just isn't home to us. It feels like a stopping place for a short time, but not a permanent home. So, we started talking about the possibility of moving. it "grew into a hope." Then we started thinking about the possibility of moving. (a quiet thought) What would it be like. Could we handle it? Would the kids like it?
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word
And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry
I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye
Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never
Been this way before
All you can do is try to know
Who your friends are
As you head off to the war
Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye
You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye
Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget
Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes

When I first approached the idea with Josh, it came out as "a quiet word" because I was unsure as to how he would take the idea. The more we talked about it the more confident we became that this was what should be and it became "louder and louder" and is now our "battle cry" so to speak. It is what gets us through the day here. We know that someday, God will take us to Colorado. We feel like God has told us to wait 3 years. Do not know what changes will occur in 3 years, and it is NOT going to be easy to wait, but we have to trust Him to guide us and assist us in this journey. Maybe we will be here until our "memories grow stronger and stronger, 'till there before our eyes." Until then, we will wait!
