We are in the middle of some huge changes. HUGE. We are moving in the next couple of months. Moving from everything the kids have ever known. Moving from some of the sweetest people I've ever met. Moving from an amazing church family. Moving from a community who rallied around us, people they didn't even know, and helped us raise money for our adoption time and time again. There are so many things I'm going to miss about Aroostook County, which is funny, when we first moved here 16 years ago I thought I was going to die. I thought that this was the end of the world, a black hole that would suck me in forever. I remember saying to my wonderful husband, it's ok, we'll be ok for a few months and then we'll move back.....16 years later..... I remember imagining myself driving a u haul honking and waving and dancing on outta the county. Nope, not at all. It's going to be a sad day. I've learned so much about community and relationship and deep friendships and slowing down and faith in God and answered prayers and true religion. Such sweetness. I pray these are tools that God has placed in our hands for our next adventure.
I moved to Aroostook County for a year. That was 8 years ago! And interestingly, I've learned so much about community and friendships and a deep relationship with God too. I'm excited (a little) for your next adventure because I KNOW God has prepared you for what will be next.
