I am constantly learning how to trust God more.  This whole move to Oregon, I guess was about that.  Call it an experiment.  Not that I am trying to test God or anything to see if He really comes through for me, but more of a test for me to actually jump into the void and see if I can actually do it while trusting that everything is going to be ok – and not only ok, but better than it ever has been.

Of course leaving all that was comfortable behind was just the beginning of trusting.  Now that we are here, I feel like the next part of this journey is to really work hard to establish some friendships, some relationships, and get involved in the community and with organizations that are doing some amazing things.  If we just move and then sit here and do nothing, what has changed?

And this is where I am… trying to not just be lazy and sit around all day.  Even though I am taking care of Amalea most days, and that is work (and holy work in my opinion) I can still get lazy and just want to stay home and not meet new people or get involved.  I am trying to trust that if I get out of my comfort zone, enter into new experiences and meet new people, God will reward me.  It is messy sometimes and very hard.  Sometimes I go down the wrong street (litterally and metaphorically) and get lost, but I’m still learning things at the same time.
