I somehow forgot I had a blog. Perhaps it was the crazy that happened shortly after I started it. You see, in June, 2017 we ventured back to Minnesota to visit our family. That visit along with a host of other things that were happening in our lives at the time stirred up more change. By July, we decided to move back to Minnesota. I'll be honest, it wasn't the best decision financially. But. Our lives changed. They changed for the better. For one, I have my husband back. In the midst of the moving and working and working and working, I lost him. He lost him. We all lost him. He morphed into someone I had never known before. Someone I quite frankly didn't like. This isn't a post to tell you the nitty gritty. That's his deal. But we had to make a change. And we did. And we lost money and we are still trying to catch up. Now let me share with you the great part.
On September 7th, 2018 we moved into our house in Waconia, MN. It is the perfect house for us which I believe was chosen by the Lord. I began teaching preschool for the school district and Mike worked from home in his then job at Emerge Education. By November, we found that this relationship with the company was impossible to maintain and be mentally healthy. So we cut ties. Kind of on purpose, kind of by choice but forced. Mike began a new position (provided by God) at North Central University in Minneapolis. He travels 40 minutes each way, but we still believe this was God's provision. June 1st was my last day at the preschool and I began a new job (provided by God) at Oakwood Community Church on July 9. It is a perfect fit. Lots to learn but so much desire to do so and a perfect work environment to do it.
Looking back on my past posts, it crosses my mind that God was preparing me for this. He is good. He is awesome.
