| My first official offer letter! |
Given that I just accepted a job in Northern Virginia, which is not by any means close to where I currently live in Fredericksburg, I had another hurdle to conquer--where and who was I going to live with. This to me was scarier than the job aspect. A job is a job. But living with people I don't know in a place that I'm unfamiliar with scared me. And to be honest, it still scares me. I kept having to tell myself, the Lord provided you with this amazing opportunity in this new area, surely he will finish what he started. I had 3 weeks figure it all out and to move! Thanks to the internet I found 3 lovely roommates through a church roommate connect board that were exactly what I was looking for. They wanted accountability, they wanted to invest time and a relationship with their roommates, and they were CLEAN! It was a miracle. They wanted to sign a lease and move in by July 1. A timing miracle. The townhome was only 10 minutes away from work and that I won't have to take any major roads...another huge miracle. I keep thinking Jesus, you are spoiling me with your provision. Roommates, fantastic townhouse, check.
Needless to say I'm staring at the brink of a new chapter in life that starts, well, Wednesday! It is exciting, nerve-wrecking and crazy to me all at the same time. Everything will be new--new job, new city, new roommates, new townhouse, new church. But it is where I have come from, my past, that I know I can depend on to propel me through the "new". It'll be both the good and the bad experiences that I have learned from, the roommates who carried me when I was weak, my loving and supportive family, my sacrificial boyfriend and my persistent, all-providing Savior that will support me through the thick of the new changes. I could not feel more blessed for where I have come from, and where I am headed. Jesus provides!
