Even though the CBC retreat was awesome, coming back I’ve felt so down because I don’t know what to do about work, my career, whether I *should* move to the Bay, etc. I feel torn because I love that I’ve found the Exodus community and have been encouraged to grow spiritually because of them, and to leave them so soon would be difficult. Finding something like this has been a long time coming for me, especially since my own family lives so far away and I rarely get to see them. I also really need to start thinking about settling down and seeing all these people around me get married or having kids makes the urge to do the same even greater… and it’s mostly fueled by urgings by my mom every time we speak… and sadly so far SD does not seem to be a good place for single women lol
Anywho, I was re-watching my Happiness video to lift my spirits because it was so much fun to make :)
I usually don’t read blogs, but I guess the Lord led me to it today. I’ll be praying for you, and whatever you decide, your brothers and sisters (Exodus) in SD will be rooting for you. I think even if you do move, you will still be able to find an Exodus-like community if you seek hard enough; or you could just start one up yourself ;) (really, I know someone in Singapore right now who did that).
One of my favorite verses as a youth, although a little out of context:
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
- Joshua 1:9
