We are about to make our next big move. We are state hopping! We are headed to PA...this means lots of changes...new license plates {again}, new business license {urgh}, new address {gotta get those new return labels made}, etc. ...see when you move a few hours away in Texas you are still in Texas...the laws of the land stay the same! Not that I have ever moved in Texas...yep, my very first move was almost 4 years ago when hubby and I married and a month later moved to Ohio for him to start medical school...a long 19 hours from home!
We started this journey in 2004 with full anticipation of heading to Texas come graduation day May 2008. Well...that day is only weeks away and we aren't headed south. God had another plan and has spent the last 4 years molding my heart for the acceptance of that plan.
As much as we have desired to be home in Texas for Residency we have first and foremost desired to be in God's Will. We have tackled the possibilities of Residency placements with prayer and stood amazed and scared when God began to reveal that it wasn't quite time to go home yet. Not gonna lie...I was crushed...but for the first time it was a disappointment that was blanketed with a strong sense of comfort knowing that if we were in his will despite the fact that it didn't match up with "ours" then He would guide us.
We have prayed long and hard about this decision to go to PA knowing that it will mean many unanticipated changes while bringing unimaginable blessings. So we will journey a little longer from home while following God's plan for us. We will once again be starting over, just as we did 4 years ago, but the Lord has already blessed us with friendships through our visits to PA as we learned more about this program and a peace I never imagined as I began to realize it wasn't yet time to go home.

I know this move must be hard, but it will be exciting as well!
Your faith is inspiring and you are right, God will light your way home - where ever that may be...
Will you be near LKH and Tim?
I'm excited, I'm getting a whole bunch of friends in the Pittsburgh area and I can come and visit and it will give me an excuse to go to IKEA all the time and it will be great!! Except that I get lost everytime I try and get to the -burgh, but I'm sure that will eventually stop, right??
Well...er..life is like a box of chocolates, right? Good luck to you and your husband. I remember being ecstatic at Match Day. Regardless of where we went, my honey was going to finally earn a paycheck and I was finally getting out of Shreveport, which was huge for me. I bet you will grow to love P'bgh. I have heard that Fall there is spectacular.
