Reinvention
Sometimes a little reinvention is a good thing. I will miss where I am, my house, my church, my friends (fortunately its only a 1.5 hour move so close friendships just change but don't go away, I like that), and that beautiful creek behind my house that has always been the best part of my home (that babbling brooke along with the roosters in the farm behind my house).
Reinvention though. I realize that God has been doing some serious molding of me these last two years (when is He not?) and moving to me is a great part of that. I'm not the person I was when I moved to Virginia four or five years ago and I'm different from the person I was two years ago when we moved to Richmond. We've settled into a nice groove and with every passing day those grooves get deeper. Sometimes I like to make new grooves and that is difficult when old grooves are so deep. Of course this move isn't as drastic as all that. Again, 1.5 hours isn't that far away and it is back to the original city we lived in when we moved to Virginia in the first place. It is however enough of a move to help kick my butt into the gear needed to get me into a new groove that suits the person God is forever shaping me into. Don't get me wrong though, I do not want to make a habit of moving every two years. Its just nice to try and make a good thing out of moving rather than focus on the negetives. This move comes with an equal part of both. I'll not focus on the negetive right now.
I'll have a new home to decorate, my own office as it seems I am to be a jewelry designer. I am looking forward to putting the small kiln and rock tumbler I recieved for Christmas to good use. I relate quite a bit to Tom Ford the clothes designer turned Filmmaker. While I have recieved quite a bit of support from those around me, I'm sure there are those around me who are with me when I am surprised my jewelry has done so well as it has after only three months. I was my number one skeptic. Tom Ford did it and so I am determined to as well. I fall in love with my jewelry and am excited when I can give them homes. I have aspirations.
It was in Newport News I discovered I was good at fund raising and Richmond that I could sell anything. OK, that is a little dramatic and full of myself. I would however like to get better at it and I look forward to doing what I can for the Care Net Resource Pregnancy Center and Child Advocacy Program when I move. I've really missed them. Of course things will be a lot different since my plate is already full with other things. To bad we can't trade in for bigger plates. ;)
