Junior, my husband, is probably the most thankful guy anyone will ever meet, he rarely complains....(well he does have a bit of road rage, but we work on that ;) so to hear him complain about something is often a surprise...but a few weeks ago Junior told me for the first time ever that he doesn't really like living in Brunswick, GA... i was taken aback...because he has never complained about it, ever. then again, he doesn't complain about anything much at all.
me on the other hand...often with my self and my own journey i am a complainer....or at least since the marketplace closed and i no longer had a job (Much Ministries, inc.) that i LOVED....which has been about 16 months....which feels like forever...and i am tired of this season...complaining and feeling like i am just going through the motions...
Yes i can name all kinds of things that i love....in fact since junior has confessed his complaint i now keep reminding him of all the things i like about living in Georgia... funny how roles can reverse so quickly...
i mean now i can see....more clearly...
i love living near the ocean, and being able to walk on the pier, its beautiful
i love getting to have sand in my toes within 15 minutes of a drive
i love our church, it is full of the holy spirit...i am always overwhelmed when i worship there...so good
i love having a home that is ours and fixing it up together...
i love the few close friends we have made that are real...and so amazing...i am honored to call them friends
i love not having winter.... i mean the lowest its ever gotten here in GA is 27 degrees... and winter is short
i love the garage sales on saint simons, and the antique stores i have fallen in love with...
i love volunteering with HIS Ministries and Simple Love... so blessed by these world changing organizations
i love that so many people here LOVE Haiti
i love that my husband has family within driving distance
i love that flying to Haiti is a lot cheaper and faster
i love that we get to go to Kompa parties and he gets to be so happy djing them
i love that friends and family can vacation to see us- because we live by the ocean
i love that there are lots of islands around us and places like savannah near by the we can enjoy
i love the Dairy Queen by our house and the Goodwill in walking distance
And last but not least i love that there are reasons that the Lord has us here, despite my understanding of it...i KNOW His purpose is great...
but He is stirring...
since then Junior has looked at houses online in Kansas City, where my family and friends are... but i haven't put much stock in it because for me...how could we just live in the house we bought for only a year... when we bought this i thought we would be here for another 3-5 years, hoping for 3 max. but this house was a miracle house and there really is no way that we couldn't make a good profit off of it, even with the market the way it is....
now i have started just browsing the jobs in KCMO, but nothing ever seems to fit me...
what if i could get paid for this blog and do my etsy shop...those things i can take anywhere! i already am working on getting my etsy shop going...so what do you think about this job, getting paid for blogging?
these are just thoughts going through my head..... please feel free to tell me what you think!
