It has been barely a week since I moved to the Cincinnati area and things are changing daily. Usually when big changes happen in my life, such as moving to another city, I get very anxious and stressed out. I remember this time last year I was moving home from college, trying to find a job, and then moving to Lexington. Things were very stressful because it was the "unknown." However, this time it has been completely different.
The whole time I was in Chile, I was constantly job searching and trying to figure out what my plans would be when I returned. No luck, and when I came back I still had none. I also didn't know of anyone I could live with since the semester had already begun. Thankfully, my friend Ashley asked me to lease with our friend Julie, since Ashley is going to Africa for the semester.
So, I pretty much made the decision to move and keep up the job search. This would usually stress me out terribly, but this time it didn't. I think I can owe that to nothing but God and what He's taught me over the years. This past year has involved so much uncertainty, I had no choice but to fully put my faith in His plan. Now, don't get me wrong, I totally believe He leaves it up to us to make an effort and doesn't just do everything for us.
Since I've been up here, searching daily for jobs, I have had some kind of peace about everything. Even though I know I have tons of bills to pay and a diminishing checking account, I somehow just know everything is going to fall into place very soon. Yesterday I landed a pretty easy part-time job, however very very early hours. Also, I got an interview for today for a full-time job. It's funny how it all happens at once. Thus, we'll see how things pan out.
With this peace I have, I am so excited for what's to come. I can't wait to get involved in the arts community in this area and meet some other artists and people in the art world. I also am pumped to find a church where I can grow and fellowship with others while doing something to make a difference. And, of course, I am very excited to be in the same area as Claudio, finally! Let the adventure begin :)
