The experience of moving. . .

So, I am cheating a little bit here. Read a friends blog and it made me think about my experience of moving to a new town, in a new state, alone, at 46 years old (yes, yes, really). It's one of those hard things that I don't give myself credit for accomplishing.

Here are my thoughts as I wrote them - as honest as I can be:
Moved here a little over a year ago. . . didn't know anyone except those I worked with. I was certain it was the direction that God was leading me. Of course, that didn't make it easy. It is taking some time to adjust.

I think the hardest thing is having nobody around that I have history with, that knows me at more than a surface level. And apparently I am used to speaking in less than complete sentences and being understood, because I often feel the need to "explain" myself lately.

I have a peace and a confidence that I am where I am supposed to be and i don't "need" to know where God is leading me this time (incredible, finally growing up). I feel like a little kid with my eyes bugging out looking ahead in great expectation and letting God unfold the next chapter in front of me.

So, it's been hard, it's been lonely at times, but I don't want to be anywhere else for the moment. Trusting the Lord to direct my steps

A Church that is all a twitter. . .

Twittering. . . where is it all headed?

Here is an example of a church that is twittering as a way to let the congregation get to know them better. It's an interesting idea. Click on the title of this blog entry to read more, or click here.

I think twittering is a cool way share life together or keep in touch with friends far away (or close to home).

What are some other uses of twittering? Your work, your club, . . . creativity crash.
Surely you have better ideas than I do. Punch the comment button and tell me some of your ideas.

Visssta. . . MAC . . . part 2

Yes, yes, its probably true. . . I am enjoying this just a LITTLE too much.
Still, just can't get used to not having to buy virus protection.

Vista . . . Mac. . . no turning back. . .

LOL. . . every time I turn around, this is the song people are singing. . .

Home. . . chat. . . missing

So, home in Fresno for Mom's Day.  Awesome day, hung out with friends, spent time with my Grandmother and spent evening with parents, sister and her boyfriend. 

AS IF that wasn't enough, one of my great friends from Advanced Leadership connected via instant messaging through facebook.  I didn't even KNOW that you could do that.  It was amazing, just like hanging out together.  Very cool.

Finally, I haven't missed church at my new home in some time . . . . . . I am so grateful for my church, my pastors and my new friends there.  But you all knew that.
