three song aleatory

growing up, i loved country music. whether it was leann rimes, tim mcgraw or george strait...i knew all the words to all the tunes. i remember belting a leann rimes song when i was around seven. the song was called, one way ticket. "... im gonna buy a one way ticket on a westbound train see how far i can go..." i remember the video, she was dancing on a platform in San Francisco...i resonated with this song because i have always had the nomadic heart within me. video to be found here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCSzBZ9jrO4 then there was the george strait song called, out of the blue clear sky...this one has to do with finding love, but i like the idea of it. something coming out of nowhere, gave me hope for the unknown that i always wanted to discover. and lastly, there was this tim mcgraw song ( i promise im getting to my point soon), called telluride. it was not from when i was too young, perhaps a junior in high school...but the lyrics made me want to move to the hills of colorado and eat at a cabin restaurant while it was snowing outside.

in three weeks from tomorrow, i will start work in colorado.

i am flooded with emotions as i move to a state i have never been to. some think it is stupid (although they would never say it) while others are thrilled at the thought of this courageous move.  i have been prayerfully considering this move for months now, but in seriousness for a little over 2 months. a little over a week ago a dear friend called me and asked me to be apart of her apartment in aurora, co. the next day, i was on the phone with nordstrom securing a position in the mall at cherry creek in downtown denver. within 48 hours i was officially moving to colorado. my new manager called me and officially offered me the postion and i was ecstatic. i was finally doing what i have been dreaming of doing for years. it had all fallen into place, and i could not be more thankful. i had been wondering how it would happen, as I did not know anyone my age to live with..but somehow it all happened. it all happened one event after the next.

that rich community i have been yearning for since my divorce from APU in may, will be rebuilt as i move in with women striving for the will of the lord and for genuine friendship. my wondering spirit to explore, then nest will be satisfied as i finally fly away so to speak, and discover a new place. i feel as if these past few months have been extremely transitional...sleeping on the floor in the corner, out of a suitcase with nothing of mine on the walls to make it feel as if i have ownership. but now, i take a deep breath and a very audacious move to something i could not be more thrilled about.
