MLK Day

So since it's #mlk day I've been seeing a lot of quotes on Facebook and I've even posted one myself. I saw one that really made me think and reflect.



I think this is certainly what I did when I moved to Chesapeake. But it's also what I've done just recently when we moved to Ohio - and I think the Ohio move was more on faith. I quit my job and moved however many miles it is from North Carolina to Ohio and we are staying with family while we are looking for work and a place to live permanently. That is a gigantic leap of faith, and we can't see where we are going to land right now. We don't know how our story ends. But taking that leap of faith, or first step up the staircase, was so important. I have faith that everything will work out for the good. It might take time, it might be hard(it already is hard), but I'm learning and we are growing as a family and I'm growing personally. 
It's exciting and frightening all at the same time. There are so many things that I need to learn and I'm excited for this part of our journey. Part of me wants to skip to the end, like when you want to read the end of a mystery book first to know who the killer is, just so I will know how it ends. But that's faith...I believe that we will be taken care of. Life might not be easy - but I don't think we would appreciate it if it was easy. I've seen people who have everything handed to them and they are miserable. There isn't an easy route to fulfillment. The happiness must be found in the journey - or it won't be found at all.
