Moving Update Mini-Post!

This week, my husband and I finally made the short trip out to Riverside County and went apartment hunting. We visited seven different apartment complexes, took five tours, and finally ended up with one favorite. Our applications have been signed, submitted, and approved. Our holding deposit has been paid. Now we are just waiting for final approval of our supporting documents and for them to prepare the lease for us to sign. After that, we’ll officially be moving!

The closer and closer our move-out and move-in dates get, the more real it feels. Now I know that we’re really not moving that far away. But still, the fact is that we are going far enough away that we will have to make a lot of changes. We’ll have to find a new church, I’ll have to find a new job, and we’ll have to get used to a new city and make some new friends so we’re not lonely out there. Spending time with our friends and family who still live here will be a bit harder. It definitely is a little bit scary to think about.

Throughout this journey, my husband and I (I bet you know what I’m going to say here) have been relying on God to guide us and show us the next steps. We didn’t know if we would find an apartment that was in a nice area, that we would feel comfortable in, that would allow our pets, and that we could afford. We just trusted God to show us where we are supposed to be, and it looks like He did! I feel certain that He will continue to show us where we are supposed to be, from the job that He wants me in, to the friends that He wants me to make, to the church that He wants me to be a part of. Personally, I feel exhilarated that I get this opportunity to start fresh in a new place and let God use me in so many new ways!

As we approach this time of change in our lives, we are continuing to grow in our marriage and in our relationships with God. It’s a fun new adventure for us and a great opportunity for us to learn to trust God more. I’ve been enjoying the journey so far, and I’m excited to see what is in store for us.
