| Goodbye Oahu! |
Transition is a light and fluffy word to describe my last year. What do you call (in order of events) getting dream pt job at Whole Foods, finally getting intergraded into a Hawaiian community, depression, visions, got SOZOed, hubby applying for grad school/jobs, getting rejected from grad schools, packing up/ getting rid of my apt to move, not knowing where we are moving to, in- laws visiting for the best hawaiian stayca ever!, quitting my dream pt job, hubby graduating college, hubby getting a summer position at Niabi Zoo, moving off MY island (still not know where we are going to live), spent the summer with Shiloh in San Diego, Nate got a full time keeper position at Niabi Zoo, packed up trunk of the Element with everything that has value to me to move to the Quad Cities, moved in with the in-laws, massive depression, house hunting,sister came to visit at Thanksgiving, Mother in law is suspected to have ovarian cancer, closed escrow on our house, moved in to our house, CHRISTMAS, mother in law has massive surgery, Nate is getting a lot of divine opportunities with work, ovarian cancer stage 3C confirmed, signed up for my CNA class and testing, may start our farmers market stand?.... Needless to say tax season is quite an undertaking this year.
Some lessons I have learned.SOME.
1. I have to be intentional about community. I have to be intentional about life.
2. When I gave my life to God I said yes to adventure. Adventure isn't predictable and one must be flexible. I told God to change my heart for all of these unknowns. Literally one day I HATED the idea of moving to the Quad Cities, but I asked God to change my heart if that is where He wanted us. The next morning I woke up with excitement and ANTICIPATION for the city I am now in. Allow Him to change your heart. It's super fun!
3. There are always obstacles and challenges to face. Always conquer them. They are NEVER impossible to overcome or too large to get in the way of your dreams!
