Karl & I are headed to Arizona! We got the news about a week ago and after some time to process, research,
I really am getting very excited. There is SO much to do in Glendale, unlike Sumter, and even Arlington for that matter. I can't wait to explore all of the outdoor activities in Arizona and the west coast- I have never been to that area of the country and I can't wait for the adventure!!
lame aspects of moving that need serious prayer:
my job. I am so sad to have to leave my job. I am 100% obsessed with it and it literally makes me sick to my stomach to think of leaving it, even if it is just for a year. I love serving at the pregnancy center and working in general. I am already gearing up to find things to do for a year in Arizona so I have no clue what that will be- the pregnancy center there? Maybe BSF and some other weekly activities instead of working? Hmm...
making friends/finding a church/not being social recluses. It is SO HARD to put ourselves out there when we know that we are in a temporary place. But I/Karl will be miserable if we don't try to make friends and get plugged in. This is definitely going to be a struggle.
my babies. also known as Lucy & Oliver. Lucy isn't even out of the womb yet and I am obsessed with her like I am Ollie. I am literally sitting at my computer crying at the thought of not hovering over her first year of life like I am Ollie's. I seriously need Jesus for this.
notice that my attitude is not one of the things that needs prayer. I am doing good, excited, PUMPED TO LIVE WITH MY HUSBAND!!! And ready to see what God has in store! Also ready to stop sweating the small stuff, like moving away for a year.
SO Karl is in Alaska working for a few weeks and then he's back to Korea 'till November 1. I'm not totally sure of the exact timeline of our move. My prayer is that our November arrival in Arizona won't impact Karl's ability to take leave for the holidays. I just can't wait until we are in the same time zone, in the same house. And I can erase all these clocks off my phone. Praise God that day is coming!
"And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8 38&39
Hannah K.C Burton
