Ramblings about my devotions

One of the things that I try at the beginning of the new year is to start a bible reading plan and a devotional.  Enviable, as the year goes on, I go off track and just read whatever passage I can.  This year, as a Christmas present, my hubby bought me a Kindle Fire.  I am hoping that with this new tool, I will be able to stay on track better this year.
I love my new Kindle and I subscribe to several email listings that email me free ebooks that are available for that day.  One of them is called Spirit Filled Kindle.  When you subscribe to the emails, you get several emails a day with at less 4 free or discounted ebooks.  You might be wondering what I am rambling on about.  Well I mention all this because one of the books that I bought for free is called Near to the Heart of God: Meditations on 366 Best Loved Hymns.
This book has a short devotional for each day of the year.  The author ties in the day with a hymn that concedes with that date.  Then the author has the lyrics of the hymn and a scipture verse that supports that hymn.  For the 9th and 10th of January, the author has Trusting Jesus and Anywhere with Jesus.  Both of these hymns hit home with me.
As most of you know, my husband found a job in his home town.  We will be moving from Las Vegas to Texas in 8 days.  This is a very hard change for me.  When we moved to Vegas, I thought that this was where God had settled us for good.  However, with the events of the past year and a half, we discovered that is was not the case.  The Lord was just using this as a launching pad for us to move us back to family.  Many of you may be wondering why this is such a hard change for me.  Some of you may even be asking why would you want to live in the Sin City Capital of the World.  Well, the only way I can answer this is by saying that I have come to love this city as my home and I have come to love my church as my family.  My heart is crying on the inside because I am yet again moving and leaving those that I love dearly.  My church family has done more for me and my family than some people's biological family will even consider doing for them.  As the days get closer to moving, my anxieties of starting over and finding people that will love me and my family seems daunting.  However, as I read these two hymns tonight, I realize that I need to trust Jesus and that I would follow Him where ever He leads me.  Below I have the lyrics the hymns:

Trusting Jesus:
Simply trusting every day,
Trusting through a stormy way;
Even when my faith is small,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.
Refrain:
Trusting as the moments fly,
Trusting as the days go by;
Trusting Him whate’er befall,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.
-Psalms 28:7
Anywhere with Jesus:
Anywhere with Jesus I can safely go,
Anywhere He leads me in this world below;
Anywhere without Him dearest joys would fade;
Anywhere with Jesus I am not afraid.
Refrain
Anywhere, anywhere! Fear I cannot know;
Anywhere with Jesus I can safely go.
-Joshua 1:16
I know that the Lord has His will mapped out for my life.  I know that by following His will for my life, my life will be full and I will lack nothing.  However, this does not stop me from worrying and stressing.  But These two hymns and something that I read on my pastor's daughter's blog today has made me realize that I need to completely trust Him and be willing to to follow me anywhere. Because I rather be anxiety and be where Jesus is then unstressed but not have Jesus.  As the lyrics say "Anywhere without Him dearest joys would fade."  Even with all my anxieties of the move, I would never want my joy to fade.  Therefore, I will follow and trust Jesus into Texas.
