Because our little family is going through so many big changes, that can feel really scary I have been thinking about my life up to this point. One of the big things I would tell myself is to be less fearful and trust Heavenly Father more. I once heard that you should always have one foot in the dark, trusting Heavenly Father to lead you along. I feel like that right now. Moving, having a baby, starting a new school are all really big on their own but throw them all together, it's a lot.
This last weekend Daddy biffed it on his bike. He could be scared but in the ER while the doctor was looking at what we all thought was a broken shoulder he kept saying that he loved to ride his bike and that he was going to do it again regardless of what they told him. I have no doubt that in a month or two he will be back on it even if his should still hurts him. I guess I needed to see something like that to help me overcome some of my fear. Watching what happens when we fall gives me the courage to take the risk.

I recently read a Reader's Digest article about failure. There were studies done on the brain's reaction to failure showing that the brain grows in response to adversity.
That said, you don't have to move, you can let Adam go by himself. It's not too late...
I think you are very brave!
Is this the quote?
"Faith, to be faith, must center around something that is not known. Faith, to be faith, must go beyond that for which there is confirming evidence. Faith, to be faith, must go into the unknown. Faith, to be faith, must walk to the edge of the light, and then a few steps into the darkness. If everything has to be known, if everything has to be explained, if everything has to be certified, then there is no need for faith. Indeed, there is no room for it." – Elder Boyd K. Packer, from Faith, p. 42
