CS: Feeling pretty talkative, lol. I've been evaluating my big life change 60 days in. It's definitely been more challenging emotionally than I anticipated. I basically ripped myself from the comfort of friends and family who I've been with for over a decade, and planted myself where I have nowhere near that level of support.
I thank God for social networks, texting, cell phones etc. because I'm never totally disconnected from my real friends and genuine support... Even you guys, though I may have been absent a while. I'm also thankful for prayer, because I know I have praying family and friends and there are times when I am sure that is what sustains me.
Lastly, I'm thankful for the process. This move has isolated some weak areas in me, and forced me to really develop some areas that were not as obvious when I was in a more comfortable place. Even the pain is bittersweet, like the pain of sore muscles after working out, it reminds me that I'm getting stronger, and that it will be worth it in the long run.
Sometimes my faith is tested. It's easier to talk faith, than to walk faith, because in the midst of things, reality has a way of challenging even what you know. I thank God that Jesus prayed for me and that God is keeping me day by day, moment by moment.
Just thought I'd share, lol.
