Changes

Changes by David Bowie was stuck in my head today, which got me thinking about changes. Which made me want to blog about them. Its nothing too exciting, but it is something!

I am moving! (again) This will be my 4th move in about a year and half... And this won't be the last! I first moved to Rochester the summer before last. I moved from the cities into my dads house, in the middle of nowhere, also known as Oronoco. It was good moving in with him and getting closer to him, which was a struggle when I lived my entire life in the cities. But that only lasted about a year, and I needed to get out. Not like it was a horrible experience, I just needed to be out of my parents house.
From there I moved into the Jensen's house. I had so much fun living with them! They treated me like family. (and still do) I stayed with them while I looked for roommates. It was so scary to think that I would have roommates that I was not related to or close to. But I found some and moved out of the Jensen's in less than 2 months.
So, now I am with the roommates. I have been here since mid-November. It has been a good experience at times, and a bad one at times as well. Anyone who has had roommates can attest to that! But after 3 months I have decided to not stay here. So, at the end of February, I will be renting the basement of a fantastic family here in town.
Its crazy to think I will be packing up yet again and settling into another "home." This is not a permanent move, it will be for at least 6 months, but I don't know how much longer after that. Only God knows what is in store for me with this move or the one after it. I am looking forward to settling in to the new place in just a couple short weeks. And hopefully this will be a much more positive experience than this last place. But speaking of positive, lets here some not so positive roommate stories! I love to hear a good story about something I am going through!

Also, I have already told you all about my lovely sister Ashley and her baby. But just a couple days ago, she had to go into the doctor because of some issues. They basically told her before hand that she was either good to go, or not... I was very worried for her. I don't think I have prayed so much about anything in my life! I couldn't even imagine the pain she would feel if she lost the baby. She had to have been 7billion times more worried that I was. And the thought of her husband being in Iraq and not being able to be by her side at the doctor just hurt my heart. It all got me thinking.
The idea of a baby growing inside of you, getting bigger until it is time to deliver is the most amazing thing in the world. I can't think of anything cooler than that. And actually having a baby!?!? Unbelievably awesome! I thought about it so much while waiting to hear back from Ash after her appointment. But she finally got back to me and all is well! I was so relieved. I have never stressed so much over anything. My prayer for her, the baby, and her husband is safety, comfort and the feeling of God's constant presence. I love them all so much!

And lastly, I have decided that Cambodia is a yes! I am going. I am going to save up money, pray about it a lot, and go. I can't think of a cooler way to spend that time than in Cambodia. So, pray for me as I try to get better control of my spending so I can afford this trip, and as I go through the training and such for this trip. I think this will be an amazing experience and I can't wait!

That's it for now!
