Moving

So this upcoming Saturday I move to a completely new city for a pretty long time. It's weird. I'm not scared, but I am having separation anxiety from Los Angeles already. I want to move out of my house, I want to be in a new environment, I want my dream job. But LA is such a big part of who I am, it's difficult to think about leaving it. Guess I didn't realize it until now. Traveling the world and spending long periods of time outside the country, you would think that this change would be familiar and easy, but with a total relocation things aren't quite the same. I won't have access to the massive amounts of different foods, languages, walks-of-life, and cultures that I am used to. That is completely foreign to me.

Being the Gold Medalist Procrastinator that I am, the packing process has yet to begin, the truck reserved, or new mattress ordered. Very few friends have shown up to send off events as promised, and so that hasn't really helped with emotionally preparing myself for the move. My uneventful birthday is quickly approaching. Funds are not necessarily ideal. I don't know, maybe this is just a bunch of self-sabotage? Or the nostalgia goggles that Marshall talks about? (Admittedly, I watch way too much HIMYM, so sue me)

Whatever it is, I want to shake it. This really is my dream job and I want to be the very best, while changing the world for God's glory. I know that God equips those He calls so I need a lot of prayer for the emotional and spiritual equipment required for this move. No funk should get in the way of making moves and fulfilling dreams. I love LA, but I need to expand the horizon and keep Jeremiah 29.11 on my mind.
