Friends .. I've been asking prayer from everyone I can/know, and if you have a prayer chain or something like that at your church, adding there as well would be appreciated.

The short version is that my dad dropped an emotional "bomb" on my mom and I this week -- he's decided to sell the house and move us all the way to the (US) east coast (we're on the west.) I so very badly don't want to go. 😭 In all the moves we made in my life, none have been half as hard as even just the idea of this one. 10+ years here, and in just the last couple, it really felt like we had settled for good. (I should know better by now. 🤦🏻‍♀️) To top it off, I just started to feel connected with the Christian singles Bible study group I joined last summer. 😭 The only doable option it seems, is to go with them... unless by some miracle I get married in the next couple months. (Personally, I hope for the latter 😉 and not because I want to stay... as impossible as it seems right now. There's even a guy in my Bible study group I've been interested in for quite a while, and believe we'd be a good match [even my parents think so] if he'd just ask... 😉)  Any other option I can think of simply isn't doable for me right now, for several reasons. (And decisions involving those other options, I simply can't make in the state I'm in right now.) 😔
