Relocating...

...can be a very moving experience.

This week has been quite an emotional experience for me. For the past 5 years I lived outside of town, just far enough that I couldn't have cable TV or pizza delivery or drive 10 minutes to the nearest Wal-Mart. Now, I'm not complaining, I chose to live there and it became my version of normal life for that chapter of my life. Now life is different. I can now call for pizza delivery or hop in the car and be at Wal-Mart in 10 minutes. I know, to you it's nothing, but to me I feel almost like I've simply entered the real world again.

My highlight for this week was getting Cable TV with a DVR, and I now feel like a kid at Christmas time. I sit and surf channels in a whole new way now. I don't know if you remember it, but 5 years ago when I had cable, you actually had to turn the channels to see what was on TV. Now I hit a button and get a lineup of all channels for the next several days, if I so choose. Yes, I feel as if I've entered current technology, which has been FUN. It has helped make this transition a bit easier.

Without getting into too much stuff, I find myself talking to God a lot about the past 5 years of my life. Relocating really is proving to be a very moving experience in ways I can barely describe to you. As I am in the midst of processing details of the past 5 years, I realize that where I'm at right now is where God wants me to be. And while there is still some processing to be done, I am more at peace than I've been in a year. I remember sitting with a friend one year ago tonight and talking about how something needed to give...to change...that I was not understanding what God was doing in my life. And while it took me a year to get here, I am here. For the first time in a year I'm glad to be at home in the living room. It's amazing how out of sorts life can get.

As for tonight, Flashpoint is about to come on here in a bit, and I have a pepsi in hand.

Life is good.

Later!
