I put my signature on a piece of paper on April 17 that changed everything. That signature meant that I accepted the job. Moreso, it meant that I was accepting the challenge that had been tugging on my heart for quite some time...the challenge to walk away from the familiar and into the unknown. With that signature, I surrendered to the journey.
I've learned a lot about this idea of "surrendering to the journey" in the past 2 years of my life. A wise friend of mine told me that life would begin at the end of my comfort zone. She asked me to trust her and promised me that she would walk beside me in my journey and only asked that I always surrender to whatever was in store for me along the way. I'm taking that mentality that she taught me and moving 29 years of my life away from what I've always known and hunkering down in a new place. Why not?
I have learned that there is a thrilling element in trying something new-in going beyond what is comfortable-in throwing up your hands and trusting God. Stay tuned, there are bound to be some exciting updates coming your way from Dallas, Texas!!
