Life has turned upside down and inside out for this girl.
And I have to give all glory to God for kicking me out of the nest without a hint of subtlety.
Things with the Boyfriend are officially over. It is awful, and heartbreaking and I sit up at night exhausted, but too sad to sleep. And yet, I know it is exactly what God wills right now. So I am praying for his peace.
I greatly appreciate all of your guys' support, prayers, sweet comments and lovely emails. I am totally amazed by the dedication of my "online friends."
God also provided me an escape from a mediocre job and Small Town. While I love the adventures, wildlife and constant funny stories Small Town brings me, there is no reason to stay here if I am not with the Boyfriend. Not only that, but I run into mutual friends and his family every where I go. I know that my heart cannot handle one day running into him and his new girlfriend.
God is so gracious. He provided me an opportunity without me forcing anything. I didn't have to apply to all 15 of the jobs I applied for and never heard from. I didn't have to worry and stress over where I would be. He had it all under control.
Without further ado, here is the official announcement:
I'm sorry things didn't work out with your bf. ... but you are coming to Seattle. You'll be a 2 hr drive from me! Up here in Bellingham.. oh wait you already knew that's where I am. I hope you love it and I'm sure you'll have awesome-big-city adventures and it will get your mind off of things. Congrats on the move girl. Sending you hugs
omg, grey's anatomy. sorry, that.s all i can think of everytime i see the space needle. i am happy for all the things that just seem to fall into place, even though this is not what you expected from the future. God has big plans for you, girl!
Sorry to hear about the break-up, those suck, even when they're for the best. I haven't been able to keep up with the story, so I don't know much, but I am sorry for your pain right now. Seattle is on my dream cities to live in and I'm so excited for you!! Good luck on this new adventure, I wish you the best, and I can't wait to see all the pictures and posts about your new life! :)
BRITTNEY!!! This is VERY close to where I live. But in the 'country' so if you decide you need a little rest from the BIG city, I'd love to hear from you. This, if I must say without knowing you really at all....the very first time I read your blog I think I even said it to you (might have offended you at the time) why is she with this guy again? So, be your amazing self and come live close to me!
As I said earlier, I am so sorry for your pain right now, but so thankful that God is showing you His will for you. And moving new places? SO EXCITING :) New people, challenges, adventures... I'm so happy for you for this. :)
how exciting! I've been dying to visit Seattle as an adult, because it was my favorite as a kid. Just found your blog and am happy to be your newest follower :)
First of all CONGRATS on God's next move for you! Seattle is a gorgeous city and now you can actually have access to excellent shopping again ;-) I'm sorry things did not work out with the bf, but for every test there comes a testimony and you will be in a better place in no time. I'm so happy for you!
The caption on your picture made me chuckle, because Jon's first job was taking photos for Argosy. Which has nothing to do with anything. :-P
Anyway, I'm praying for you, and hugging you in my head. And I'll do that in real life soon. God is faithful and gracious, and I really know he's got the right idea in mind for you in Seattle. It fits. He's got your back. :-)
Oh, that's absolutely excitng!! I've never been to Seatle, but would love to one day - I hear it's one of the nicest cities. Good luck on your move! :)
