new adventures

Dear Friends,

Thank you so much for following my Romania Adventures through the summer. I have been so excited to share these things with you. I am now beginning a new adventure though. I will be moving to Pittsburgh next week. I will be living with an amazing friend of mine who was my roommate last year, and hopefully working at the same place as her too. I have sent my application, I am just waiting for it to get there and get processed and stuff. But, even if I don't get that job I am still going. I feel like this is the place that God has opened a door and will continue to as long as I am following him. I am so excited about this. I understand why I God closed the doors in Michigan, on both the East and West sides of the state. Although parts of me are so connected to each of these places, I needed a new adventure to keep my relationship with God strong and centered. I know that if I stayed home, I would fall into a routine like everyone else in Peck. I would just be coming back into all of the same things that I left four years ago. People expect me to be the same person that I was when I left, but I am not. I have changed so much, and for the better. I am so much more confident in myself and when the people here knew me I was shy and and less self confidence than Eeyore. I was good at hiding it though, but I am so different now. That is why I can't stay here. And I can't go back to the west side, where my GBC family is because I know that even if I am doing other things, I will still be there and come back to my bubble of security. That whole side of the state to me is a bubble of security. It is comfort, it is healing, it is helpful, and no matter how much I long to be there, I know that if I was there I would not be stretched. I would not be pushed to my limit. I would be comfortable. So this is why I am moving. And I am totally at peace about moving. I am excited to be able to go and experience something new without having to be tied down to something. There are so many new adventures just waiting to be had in Pittsburgh. I can't wait.

I will not be writing on this blog anymore though, until my next Romania adventure. But I will continue to blog on my other blog. You will be able to find updates and little things about my life on this blog. I will be posting there as often as I can.

Thank you so much for your support, prayers, and love.

I will see you in Pittsburgh.
