mid-life crisis

Perhaps mid-fifties is a bit late for a mid-life crisis, but sometimes it feels like we are in the middle of one... Changing jobs (ministry) in a foreign country has some unique challenges to it.  We have a number of options in front of us; choosing is sometimes a bit difficult.  There are time limitations, situational complications of various sorts, financial challenges to overcome, choices to make in regards to what to keep, what to give or throw away, where to store what we are keeping, where we are going to live after our 6 month Home Assignment in Canada ..... Is God really in all of this?  Of course, things could be a lot worse.. with so many countries in the midst of suffering...earthquakes, tsunami, nuclear fallout, uprisings, wars, famine, human rights violations too numerous to count...
'He has told you, oh man, what is good.  And what does the Lord require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?'  - Micah 6:8
