"Never a boring day..." has become a phrase I use to describe my life. Not because I don't have boring moments, but life is never boring when you're chasing Jesus; adventure is merely a day in the life. I heard someone say once, "If you think being a Christian is boring, then you're missing something." So here's the reason I had to say that phrase yesterday...
I'm moving back to Texas. And so is Joshua.
Joshua says one of the craziest sentences to ever come out of his life was yesterday: "So. What if I don't get on the plane tonight?" And then we followed through with it. I love my life.
We are going to spend a year (and hear me: a year) in DFW with my family getting some personal goals accomplished and each of us getting ahead financially. Then we will head back to Redding next year because we both know we are not finished being under the Bethel covering and teaching. Even though it's a "sabbatical" of sorts, there is a lot to be accomplished during this time and we are both looking forward to it. I am going to invest this time into paying off some personal debt, receiving some strategy about how to accomplish my destiny, pouring into family and close friendships.
So on the 20th we are going home to Redding to pack up in three days and drive my car down here, our new home. I have more peace about this crazy thing that makes almost no sense than all the other possibilities that made plenty of sense. I absolutely know that this is where God has me and that I'm following His voice, which is all I need in order to have complete peace. Don't get me wrong, my heart aches at the distance between dear, dear friends and my sweet church, but it's only for this season and I've no doubt that He'll fill in the gap.
Prayer Requests: profitable, enjoyable jobs for both Joshua and I, a smooth transition from Cali to here, and also just the life adjustment that's required for all of this.
