Wow. So life has been quite the journey the past 3.5 years I have attended Southeastern University. I graduated in December with my B.S. in Marketing and have been working with SEU in Central since August. Through a series of possibly unfortunate events that are actually more fortunate (in the end) I have decided to take the leap and opportunity before me to pursue the call I feel to live and serve in New York City!
Today is the last day at Southeastern University. I turned in my student status December 6th. I turn in my staff status February 27. It's sad. When I think about what and who I will leave it is sad and makes me go aw... When I think about the hope for the future it's exhilarating. When I think about the fact I am leaving a stable job in this economy I go AHH! But when I take comfort in listening to the peace in my soul when my brain is quiet I recognize God will provide. I do not have anxiety. I do not even have too much fear beyond the normal - ahh! - I'm doing something I have never done.
Once the journey settles down... once I find a place to live. A place to work. And I have a minute I will share the ups and downs of the rollercoaster. As a friend of mine put it this is like a rollercoaster ride. I know there will be ups and downs and twists and turns, but in the end I will enjoy it and the ride will end and I will be on safe ground again. *sigh*
So yeah... short and sweet. This is it. I am going to miss parts of lakeland. I am going to miss my beetle convertible. I am going to miss walking the lake. I am going to miss some of the people. *sigh* But I am excited. Although I went to bed at 4-4:30 a.m. I have more energy than I have had in weeks. I can sense the adventure that is coming. Oh my! oh my!
I guess packing everything I own for my travels the past few years have prepared me for this.
So if you are reading, say a prayer for your friend. I am leaving Tuesday, March 3rd. With 2 suitcases to my name. No official place to call home. No official place to work. Talk about launching into the deep and unknown territories of the world... here we go!
;)
