New Chapter, New Start

NEW

My absence from the blog was due to life changes.  So let me explain....

I spent eight long, long, long months job searching.  During that time I put things on pause.  I had to take time to focus on me.  I put friends, family, and life on stand still so I could put my energy into finding a new job and trying to finish my old job out strong.  I had some incredible loved ones in my life who pushed, listened, helped, prayed and stood by me during those 8 months.  THANK YOU!  No reason to say names... YOU know who you are.  

Life has just been taken off pause and it's wonderful.  I officially left the North and accepted a new job in the South.  Life doesn't suck anymore.  God stretched me during those eight months.  If you don't grind you don't shine.  I can honestly say that I am glad that I moved and that time in my life is over.  I am so happy to be living in Texas.  I am hours away from family and I feel normal.  I blend in when I go to Walmart and people are friendly.  I smile and can feel the happiness radiating from my body.  I still haven't found a new church home but I know that will come in due time.  

It's crazy that I just summed up some of the hardest months of my life in 2 paragraphs.  Job searching, interviewing, bad vibes from people I was ready to be done with, driving across country (by myself and with Jesus), going to check in on my Grammy and Daddy and finding a new place to live and starting a new job.  That's a whole lot.  And I am glad that I handled it with GOD.  Because I assure you I didn't think God was hearing my prayers because the wait was horrible and long.  But I do believe that during that time, when I was praying and waiting- it helped me to prepare for what I have now.  God came right on time.  HIS time.  My time- not at all.  But all of my needs where meet.   I don't miss anything about the north.  I do miss some of the people. 

It feels good to be back on the blog scene.  I can't wait to update you on life, the kids, exploring a new city and more.
