This is the record of events that have happened this past Month in my life. I lost my place to live and summer job all in one day in Kansas. My church family took me in while I was figuring out what to do. I received a job in South Carolina teaching sixth grade and I took it. I had no car to get to S.C God provided Belle (Car) to use for a year from a family from church. I drove out West across the State of Kansas and visited OZ for the first time with a dear friend. My friends threw a fabulous Good-Bye Bash for me. I saw the beauty of Christ in relationship with the church at a dear friend’s wedding. Had one more surprise party from my friends the night before I left filled with fabulous swing dancing. I thought I had to leave my beloved blue jay (my bike) behind but my daddy bought me a bike rack. (I know I am too old to call my Father daddy but get over it). I had no computer to use at school yet again my parents surprised me just minutes before I departed. I drove 1,100 miles and only got pulled over once. The cop took pity on me because I was so cute (just kidding) and let me go. The night of my arrival in S.C I went swing dancing. (Yes, I was tired but it was worth it!) The Lord allowed me to stay with some precious families for about a week while I was still in transition mode. All the while God was opening up a door for me to find a home with a beautiful older woman through church connections. I moved into a little girls dream princess room. I have cried several times out of homesickness yet, God has always brought me back to perspective. He reminds me of His past faithfulness and the hope of HIS plan that He is unfolding in my life. So even in the midst of sadness I can laugh at silly things like a lady walking her dog in a stroller and a man wearing a beer beanie hat but instead of using it to drink beer he used it for coffee. I am definitely not in Kansas anymore but don’t worry I won’t be pulling out the ruby slippers anytime soon.
