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.
