I kind of feel sorry for my blog. Lack of will, not lack of time has kept me away. There has just been so much going on with this moving process that it seemed like it would be a huge project to get it up to speed. But then I realized I don't have to do that. I've never really done that before.
So here goes not catching up on everything.
I am in Murray, Kentucky as of a couple weeks ago. This is a college town, home to the very first college I actually considered going to when in Alaska and doing research. They are diverse and that is what sells me. Coming from Alaska where we had two white neighbor families and the rest were all of different nationalities, it's hard down here where everything is so...divided still. It's hard for me to think that it has only been a generation since the freedom riders and other who began the fight for equality. It saddens my heart. So that is one of the major draws to Murray State. The diversity.
We are in the process of searching for jobs. I spent the last two days perfecting my dad's resume for him. He gave me the information and I gave him a resume. I know that God helped me along the way. I have writing and editing skills, but they are God-given.
I just got started on my own last night.
There have been many difficulties with where we are at, but the coolest thing has been to see all the family. It is why we moved to this side of the U.S. and it has been phenomenal. For myself and my siblings, who have never been around family, it has been very meaningful to see the blood relations and to know where our roots come from. We met my grandma Mary, a physical grandparent and spiritual. I believe it was her prayers that brought my mom, aunt, and uncle to the Lord. It was an honor to meet her.
I have to go, I'm driving up to Paducah today to get my title for my car. The new car is great and such a God-blessing. I named her Devir. It's Hebrew.
