From the book, After the Boxes are Unpacked
No matter where you've been, where you are, or where you are going, knowing Jesus Christ can change the course of your life.
When looking at Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Paul...their journey, or move, provided an opportunity to establish a deeper walk with God. They had unlimited opportunity to trust Him, to depend on Him, and to cling to Him. What opportunity does your move provide?
Realize that God places us where we are, to prepare us for what He wants us to become. Never forget, the road has been traveled before you. The choice to cherish the past and cling to God for the future is not always easy, but faith, hope, perseverance, prayer, and obedience are the keys.
Philippians 3:13-14
"I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."
Let Go, Start Over, Move ahead with your life

3. Be yourself. Don't try to be someone else.
4. Be equipped. Take five smooth stones to face the giants. Faith, Prayer, Bible Study, Fellowship, Perseverance (keep on keeping on. don't give up and don't give in).
5. Do not be afraid
