Back Home.

Transitions //

It's been a weird couple of weeks to say the least. It has been really difficult getting back into a schedule while seeing old friends again and also trying to get back into a couple of jobs. All a bit hectic. But I think that the most reassuring thing for myself is that I have been able to carve out some time for Jesus and there really isn't anything else I need. (Apologies if I haven't been in touch yet with you, hope to see all of my loved ones before I leave again!) So that brings me back into my next step... Montana.

The Big MT //

I have been getting a LOT of questions about what I'm going to do next, how that came about, and all the deets of that. Well, first of all, that is the most dreaded and awful question for anyone ages 18-25. I am a culprit as well and ask that question to my own friends... but then cringe at the "What about you?" part of it. I mean, I get it! We are all a bit curious about what is going on in each other's lives and (for the most part) we all want the best for each other. But man, the future is such a hard thing to talk about sometimes and I wish it wasn't. While we would all like to pretend that we don't slightly change the answer for each person we're talking to, we do. We don't want to make our lives sound too fabulous or too miserable but want to seem as if we have a plan but not with too much confidence because what if that doesn't all play out what will they think then and blah blah blah blah. So here I am once and for all trying to give one straight answer. 

I'm moving to Montana in August. Not positive on the date. I will most likely either be renting a small apartment or renting a room in an apartment that already has a few girls in it. I have a job interview there to be a barista to get me on my feet before I start taking business classes in college. I have been speaking with a church there that could use some help on worship team. 

Why Montana? Well, first of all, Tanner will be playing college there and I really want to support him and be near him. So that is what it is. 

I had been asking God about it though all throughout DTS because I really do want God's will in my life, not just what I want. It took three months of lots of prayer, but I finally got the word: He was trusting me. So I decided to go for it! Then I really saw God's blessing on it all when a bunch of doors starting opening and job and housing opportunities and I even got a prophetic word from a stranger last week about it! I know that I need to start to be independent, and I'm ready. Or at least I think I am. Getting lots of advice from people that have done this whole adult-ing thing before because it doesn't seem real til you're actually doing it. But you better believe that I'm going to have fun while I do. And keeping a very "real" blog about it. When I get my first bill, I'll probably have a small mental breakdown on here.
