This weekend, I am moving to Atlanta! Many people have asked me if I’m excited or nervous about moving. Well let’s just say I’ve been 98% packed since Monday.
This will be the 2nd time in 7 months that I’ve been packing up my life. Last July, I was downsizing my life to two suitcases & saying goodbye. This time, I’m still downsizing a bit but I’m not saying goodbye. I’m saying hello. I’m not sure what all I’ll be saying hello to. So far, I know I’ll be saying hello to a new city, a new roommate & a new business. I know there will be lots of new things to say hello to as I make this move & start another part of my life.
When I left Albania, I was looking behind – at what I was leaving. At all my friends & family, the way of life I had grown used to living, daily routines, my home. Of course in the process of moving to Atlanta I’ll be saying goodbye to family again but I’m pretty sure since I’m only a 3 or 5 hour drive away, they will be visiting me more than once every 1-2 years! So instead of looking behind, I’m looking forward – to all the possibilities the future has to offer.
Am I worried about moving to a big city?
Am I worried about moving to a city where I don’t really know anyone?
Am I worried about moving to a city where I don’t have a job?
Actually – no. I’m not worried at all. About any of these things. I know most people think I should be worried but I’ve seen God do so many amazing things throughout my life that I am finally learning to really, truly, completely trust him for all the details. I know he has led me to Atlanta for a reason. And if I follow his lead, he will once again take care of the details – leaving me ample time to get excited & dream about all the possibilities this move to Atlanta can bring!
So hello excitement! Hello dreams! Hello adventures! Hello Atlanta!
