A new start

Just how does one go about starting a new life, when they have just sold the home they brought their lifelong dream, new baby, home to, and given away at least half of their possessions to goodwill or friends, and left parents and other close relatives support, to do what??? To start a new life in California! A place in which my husband can get a new career, one that he will love rather than hate. (That's a novel idea)

This new life will require me, the momma, to go back to work after being out of the workplace for 3 and a half years! This is no easy task. I have been diligently sending out resume's and thoroughly edited cover letters making me sound as empoyable as possible. I just need one good job... that's all... it just seems elusive at this point.

Our new life includes getting a new place to live. Leaving the comforts of one's own home and setting off into the sunrise of a new area to find another place to be hopefully as comfortable as the last. Although, in the back of your mind nothing will ever compare to the home you brought your newborn baby home to. The home in which you taught him how to walk and talk. The one in which you played in the backyard in the sprinkler with and picked blueberries and planted and harvested a big garden in. No, nothing will compare with such memories... but think of all the memories we have yet to make in this "new frontier." We may not find the "perfect" place to live but we will find a suitable place to make home and it will be sufficient for now. We currently reside in my sister's home, and one can only call it temporary for so long, so we are on a quest for a sufficient place to call home.

My husband is also on his own search for a job. He has sent out many more resume's than me, but he seems to be finding a few more jobs that seem to suit what he is looking for.

For now, we are all well, and Josiah is thankfully on the mend. We have each other and God to carry us through these tough days ahead. They may be long and dreary some days but we are so thankful for my sister's family's generosity becuase we have a roof over our heads and pleasant home in which to live and wonderful food on our plates each night.

To God be the glory this coming year for all the things He will do in our lives!
