While most people dream of world travel, I would dream of a vacation to the Northeast in the Fall. Who new that 2010 would have me living in Indiana and enjoying my first full-color-Fall?
My Oklahoma Roots run deep. Born and raised in NW Oklahoma, I never thought that I would live anywhere but there. But God has His own agenda. When I found out in January that my dream job was being relocated to Indiana, I knew that there was no way I could move. So I found another job. And I wasn't happy. Good people, just the wrong fit. So I prayed. And I ignored. And I prayed. And I ingored. And finally I said "are you sure?". And He said "yes". So I took the biggest, least self-controlled step of faith of my life and I said "okay". Tia and I packed our stuff, rented a U-Haul and moved to Indiana. I drove into Indiana for the first time in my life on August 21, 2010 and I know that I'm where God wants me.
Tia is happy and well adjusted in Mrs. Stevenson's first grade class. She is learning to read bigger words every day. She has learned addition and subtraction. And is making lots of new friends. We miss our old friends too. We have spent a lot of time at the parks and outside because the weather here is wonderful.
So we hope to keep you updated and share our favorite pictures and new adventures!
Come explore Indiana with us!!
What an exciting adventure it has been to pray over and for you through this whole adventure!!! You were a delight to work "next door" to and I hated to see you have to leave. But hey, God's plans are overwhelmingly, mysteriously, amazingly AWESOME sometimes, and He has you right where you need to be -- 700 miles from your roots, so that now you can fly! (PS - I'll get to travel-Indiana vicariously through your adventures, woo-hoo!) Oh yeah, and the prayers will continue too!
