All of this worrying taught me a lot about myself. I have a hard time just relaxing and trusting that God has taken care of us and directed us in the past and will continue to do so. Throughout the last several months I have always had something on my mind that I have thought, "As soon as (fill in the blank) is resolved, I'll feel so much better." As things were resolved, I have found myself still stressed thinking again, "Well, as soon as we find out about (fill in the blank) I'll really be able to relax." (Not a virtue, I realize.)
The last big "as soon as" was Travis's job. We feel great about our decision to stay in Liberty. With the help of people who care about us, we have a house that is just right for us. Our just right house is just three blocks from a school that is just right for Grant. Travis and I are both enrolled in classes to work on a Masters in Special Education--a career path that we are both excited and passionate about. Sophia is enrolled in a little school that she seems to enjoy. I have a part time job that is flexible and lets me be available to the kids. And now, hallalujah Travis has a job! He is teaching at a school for boys with special needs. While his students don't start until next week, Travis thinks his job will be interesting and will give him good experience.
After about a year long process of trying to figure out what our family should do with our lives post-Jewell, I think we are finally settled. Whatever will I find to worry about now?
