So, the latter two being what we are in the midst of right now, I (Rebecca) am beginning to wonder if I'm not the one being converted...into liquid form! If tears count?? I was doing really great up until today. No trouble with letting things go really, like you would expect, but just the enormity of trying to get it all sold and resettled into other homes as we near moving day!

I, personally, found this definition more appropriate:

liquidate -
c.1575, "to reduce to order, to set out clearly" 
(of accounts), fromL.L. liquidatus , pp. of liquidare  
"to melt, make liquid or clear,clarify," from L. liquidus  
(see liquid). 

(Online Etymology Dictionary. Douglas Harper, Historian. 04 Apr. 2011. )

Despite the fact that I'm melting down a little lately, things ARE getting clearer as we follow God's lead...with just a little more patience we will find ourselves in further awe of His provision, perfect plans, timing, and YES places for everything to go!!!!

My personal blog is titled Ripples & Reflections, because that is what each of our lives become...so perhaps I'm being be reduced to a purified "puddle" that may reflect a bit of God's image in the end.
