Since moving to Portage there has been a lot of realizations. I know that the ONLY reason that would hold me back from wanting to move out of state would be my parents. I have never really been that far away from them, and even though Portage isn't that far away I still see them way less then I'm used too... and I would like. I miss them but doing this move it shows that I can do it! I'm a big girl! And they have been talking about retiring in the near future and they want to move to the middle of NOWHERE. So, obviously we wouldn't be that close to them anyways...
With all that said I feel like God has been preparing me for a big move. Little steps at a time, (like moving an hour away) but we both feel it coming. Doing the little steps shows me that I can do it, and that there is so much more for us out there. Seattle has been coming up more and more and we are totally down with the idea of moving across the country. Of course I would always say that I would be good with whatever God had in store for us, but I'm actually feeling the peace with the idea that it could happen. There are a lot of opportunities coming up with Gaetan and his schooling and I feel like there is a lot that could happen.
Also not being by any of our friends it has just been so apparent that fellowship is so important. Of course we love spending time with each other but there needs to be outside input too... of the right kind. We love our friends dearly, but there is a couple that we would pick up and move to live by in an instance. We would worry about the details later, but I know that the benefit of being by them and being able to have them around daily would be worth it. This ties in with the whole idea of being good with moving across the country...
More things keep popping up and we are learning to be at peace with them and go with the flow. We are excited to see what God has in store for us and we are praying that we will be receptive with open hearts :)
