Do you ever wish that you could go straight from making the choice about the next step in your life to just doing it without all the time in between? That’s where I’m at right now. I’ve finally decided to let God lead me where He wants me, and right now that’s Chicago. But the problem is I’ve still got 10 months until I go! So tonight I did a lot of thinking about what I need to do with my time in Nashville.

I want to spend as much time as I can with the people that mean the most to me before I leave. I know I’ll miss them dearly when I get to Chicago. I want to continue doing well with my weight loss and workouts. I’d love to be skinny when I get to Chicago–I could do some fantastic shopping! Church needs to be more of a priority, and I need to be more involved. I want to soak up my time with my kiddos before I leave. I’ve loved being their nanny for the past year and a half. Seth was 4 months old when I started and now he’s 2 and starting preschool! Shyla’s a kindergartener and growing up so fast! I’ll miss them so much.

Tonight was my first semi-breakdown about leaving. I don’t know what got me so emotional, but I started crying at the thought of starting all over in a brand new city. Sometimes it’s a little overwhelming. But I know that God has started me on this journey and that He will keep leading me. I’m so grateful for the support I’ve gotten from so many people. I really am so blessed!
