Everyone has been asking me, "So how's the move been? How are you feeling about Peoria now?" It's been hard to answer because I hadn't really been here for more than a few days at a time. But now I've been here for almost 2 weeks and was reflecting on the move last night. I was feeling kind of sorry for myself and a bit lonely because I don't really have any friends here, I don't know the city very well, I don't have a real job, etc etc.
Tonight I feel like I'm in a completely different place. I'm so overwhelmed by the goodness of God and don't even know what I'm feeling. I got a full-time job this morning and it's a really good job with potential for growth, etc. In a way I feel guilty because I know there are people here who have been trying to find jobs for several weeks now and I've barely been looking and I got a job already! At the same time, a part of me was questioning whether or not I made the right decision and I feel like today really confirmed to me that I DID make the right decision!
There are so many emotions right now that I'm not even sure I can adequately put into words how I'm feeling. Except that I'm very grateful for God's provision in my life right now!!
I am excited to see what else God is going to do in the next few weeks!

New Year.....New Hope
I've never been more ready to start a new year than I was this year. 2011 really kicked my butt and I couldn't wait to start a new year and move on. As I've been pondering what the new year will look like, I've been trying to figure out all the things I want to do this year. There's another reason why I've been pondering 2012 so much - this year I'm turning 40! I can hardly believe it cause in my heart I feel as though I'm in my mid 20's and I know that's the age I act most days.
But seriously, I can hardly believe that I'm turning 40! More than anything I want to have fun this year, I want to travel again, I want to hang out with my girlfriends and build stronger relationships. I could go on and on with a list of things I want to do this year but I won't bore you.
I have great anticipation for this year and can't wait to hear what's happening with the rest of you as well!
