According to my bank account and legal records, I am currently unemployed. I quit my job at West Florida Hospital on Friday, August 4, 2017 and have been busy ever since. I had five short days to pack up my whole entire life in Florida. This included selling all furniture, organizing items to keep or donate, packing bags for national and international travel, finishing visa requirements, saying final goodbyes, and preparing my vehicle for the 1,000 mile journey home to Maryland. These were probably the hardest days of this journey physically and mentally. Because of this, my emotions did not have time to respond, but that would come later. Also, it is hard to be sad when you are doing something so extraordinary that you know only God could make it possible.
The next eight days flew by as I spent every waking moment with family between Maryland and New Jersey. We laughed, we cried, we said our goodbyes, then I took off from JFK airport in New York City to the opportunity of a lifetime.
Was the transition hard? Not really. I have been enlisted in God's army for quite some time now. Under His command, you learn to expect the unexpected. You also learn that plans and locations may change, but the goal remains the same. We fight to bring glory to God. Is it scary and uncomfortable some or most of the time? Of course! That's how you know growth is taking place! So my location has changed. That doesn't change who I am as a person. All that means is the battlefield has extended, and I strive to be faithful and obedient under His trustworthy command.
