My life has drastically changed in the course of a few days. As of
September 1st I will no longer be a resident of Murfreesboro. I will be
packing up my car & Penelope & driving back to my old roots.
Something I never, truly never thought I would do. I thought this place
would be my forever home & then it all changed.
My heart is being pulled back to familiar grounds. I’m going back to a job I never thought I would, but God is beginning to reveal to me that my time is up here. Two years. I got two years to be roommates with my sister & best friend. I wouldn’t trade those moments for anything in the world.
I learned what it meant to live on VERY little- I learned the true value of money & living paycheck to paycheck. I had fear take a hold of me as Penelope almost died about a year ago. I never truly rooted myself within this town- friends never became genuine, but sisters grew closer. I worked retail & let people take advantage of me, but then stood my ground & walked out their doors, never to return again.
When I was asked 2 years ago why I was choosing Murfreesboro as my next step, I would tell people: “I need to find my relationship with God again.”
I found Him. He has met me in my darkest hours. He has sat right beside me as I cried in my closet, on nights when I didn’t know what my purpose was in this town. He has NEVER ONCE failed me when it came to paying rent, bills, ect. I made it on my own- barely, but I did. I’ve added thousands of miles onto my car, watched more sunrises then I can count as I drove home to Crossville for work & grown in my spiritual walk.
If that’s the only thing I take away from the last two years: then I consider myself blessed. It’s what I came to this city for & I’m leaving with so much more then I asked for.
I have no idea what’s in store in the coming months, but I am prepared to take on whatever it is God has for me.
I do know that travel will be apart of it- whether it’s near or far, I want to explore everywhere around me. My sister & I want to explore this beauty God created. We want to continue seeing sunrises & sunsets.
I can guarantee I won’t be rooted for long, that’s not a part of who I am.
