For the Type A person who desires the comforts of consistency, God has really rocked my world these past 6 months.
On one hand, I miss the comforts of home; my parents and brother, friends, church, my own bed, car, etc. On the other, being flexible in Hawaii has helped me to grow in relationships that I wouldn't otherwise. I think one of the big reasons why is that I don't have a car here. It puts me at a level of vulnerability and dependence I wouldn't have if I could hop in my own vehicle and go wherever I pleased.
Have you noticed that some of the deepest conversations you can have with people happen in the car? My friend Nicole says that it's because it's easier to talk to people when you're sitting beside them and not in front of them. SO true, right?
I think since returning from my trip to Seattle in June, moving back has been on the brain. Even though I am telling people that I want to move back by February, I am really on the fence about it. I realized at the bottom of this longing to move to Seattle the root of it lies in desiring consistency. I just want to be settled somewhere whether it's in Hawaii or Seattle.
I don't know where I am called to in this next season. I might not even know for another 6 months (and for a Type A, that's a LONG TIME) but at the same time I am learning to cultivate my faith and trust and believe that God will lead me where He wants me because the last thing I need to be doing in my life is living in a state where I am not called to be living... can I get an AMEN??
Amen & Goodnight. ;)
