Change of heart

It's so interesting, being in a place of thinking about moving somewhere, all the while knowing that you're going to have to eventually move again.

Before, knowing that I'm moving to yet another place of transition would've driven me crazy. I know there are people out there who would love to live the life of adventure I'm living, moving from one place to another as God leads. I also know there are those who look at my life and wonder if I know what in the world I'm doing ... why can't she stay in one place?

The truth is I would love to. It doesn't seem to be in the plan for now, though. I feel like God's said "It is finished" regarding what He wanted to accomplish here in Virginia. I'm seriously considering moving to Missouri to dig deeper with Him, work and pursue grad school. There's a ministry focused on bringing restoration to women and children coming out of sex trafficking that I'm investigating.

And yet, I know that Kansas City won't be home for long. Maybe a year. Two if I'm lucky. Then the adventure will continue somewhere else. Another step on the journey.

I love how this would've made me really sad (and probably a bit angry) a few weeks ago. God knows the desire of my heart is to have a home and be able to welcome people into it. Now I look at it and am excited about the things I'll learn, people I'll come to know and love, and experience that will be gained. On top of that, I'll be taking advantage of this short life we've been given on this planet ... following Him wherever He leads.

It's as it should be.
