HELLO from an unspecified NEW location

Update on me!

So late last year, I moved from the big city to a smaller town to be with my fiance. I wont lie.... I was caught off guard/unaware how rough it would be moving. I was so used to the atmosphere, the places, the stores, the schools, the roads, the people, my job, my family, and even small things you do not know you will miss like the restaurants!

Moving was a HUGE upset to my life. to put it plainly it rocked the foundation of everything I had known, become adjusted to and comfortable with. I didn't realize how much of a shell shock just going to a new grocery store would be and having to re-learn where all the food is located.

So while myself, and my wonderful kids, and also my fiance were adjusting to us moving here and moving in together we had a lot of drama from others, that my moving here caused, so again it was this unknown place, new job, new house, new school for my kids and now the drama that was thrown into the mix..... boy was I not in control!!!!!

However, while all of this is going on My fiance and I drew closer together. A time that could have caused fights, fear, doubt, concern. Instead drew trust, love, dedication and teamwork.

I have to say moving was the best thing that could have happened to me. It is encouraging to me and God has used this move as a lesson about fear in my life. Comfort is not always a good thing. My life is a 22 ZILLION times better and God has blessed me with the most wonderful friend and soon to be husband. I am overwhelmed at the things that life had in store for me. What if I had known what a huge upset it would be, would fear have kept me from moving???

THANK GOD that I didn't allow that fear to get in my way!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every day that I live here with Geoff feels like a dream come true. You may read that as cliche but I really don't give a french toast! Its from the heart and it is truly overwhelming.

I am loving life, not for the THINGS that are in it.... but for WHO is in it. Thank you Lord for giving Geoff to me. I do not know what I did to deserve him but THANK YOU. My life is full of joy, gladness, love and 3 of the most wonderful children God could have ever blessed us with. ( I have two children and Geoff has a son that I claim as my own!!!)

I hope this blog serves as my own personal reminder to NOT allow fear of anything stand in my way. Fear can stop you in your tracks, even when you are on the right path. It can slow or remove success from your life if you give in to it.
