So I have to admit, I've been putting off writing this blog.
Why? Well in all honesty I didn't really know how to write it, but I figure now is as good of time as ever.
As some of you already know, I've been living on the island of Saipan for the past 1 1/2 years. To say it has been a blessing would be an understatement. Not only have I had the ability to live in a postcard picture perfect place, but the relationships I've made with the people here have been phenomenal. Life changing even.
So where do I go from here?
I've wrestled with this decision since summer and beyond. Do I stay? Do I go? (Darling you've got to let me know...don't pretend like you weren't thinking the same thing.) It was a conundrum I did my best to stuff into the farthest corners of my mind for the longest possible amount of time. (Letter of intent? What's that? No crucial decision making needs here!)
After much prayer (like months of it), petition (hah, more like arguments with yourself and God (Yes, she talks to herself..hey look she's doing it right now! (Do you
realize that she just put parenthesis inside of parenthesis inside of
parenthesis?)), and patience . I've decided....
...to rejoin my overly caffeinated hipsters and move back to the place where I once belonged. Washington.
Don't worry my island loves, I will always have a Saipan shaped hole in my heart just for you.
"...where I once belonged." Good way to put it, Michelle. I trust and hope that your move back there is just as much or more of a blessing as the move away from there. Our God has us in his hands...and his hands gently move us to where he wants us (well, maybe not always so gently :). Anyway, blessings, other daughter!
