Change Is Good, But Not Easy

Currently listening to "In This House"- Matt Morris


Well, I'm here. In Florida. Orlando, Florida. A part of me is asking "What in the world am I doing here?" But then a greater part of me is leaping for joy and ecstatic that I made the move. The weather is amazing, the scenery is beautiful, the city is busy and colorful. Nothing really bad about where I am, but it's different. It's change. Change just feels weird. It feels like that new sweater you just bought. It looks nice, but sometimes feels a little itchy because your skin isn't used to it.

I believe change is a good thing. Change brings about a new perspective for things. It's like a fresh start. It's great when it brings about positive things in you. Not all change does, but some does. But whether good or bad change, it's never easy. It's never easy to leave the comfort of everything you knew before, especially for someone who usually chooses the tempermant that I do. Comfort for me was what I operated out of everyday. The comfort of not taking a risk was really what it was. It was really hard for me to go. I'm such a people pleaser to the core and I was afraid I would shatter the dreams that other people had for me. I had reacted in that way for so long. Change was necessary.

Goals: To get a job, a car and check out some churches. There's a mega church here called Discovery Church. Gonna give it a whirl. It's huge though, so we'll see how that goes. Having good convos with my dad and brother. Not home sick yet, but I'm missing seeing a familiar face. The 7 journeys are still tugging at my soul and I'm excited about that. Can't believe that I'm here. This, for sure, was not an easy change, but so far so good. More to come.....
