Two hundred and fifty nine days ago was my last Sunday in Los Angeles. My sister was still on her honeymoon, and I decided to go to church one last time before I left for Denver the following Tuesday (Aug 23rd). As I sat in church, mourning the loss of a church in my life that had been so pivotal in my relationship with the Lord, I was excited for what Denver would hold. I had made the finite decision, and there was no erasing it. After the worship had ended and before the sermon had begun, an important announcement was to be made. The church was going to announce their newest church plant.
Boston.
Great, here I am moving to Denver, and they announce Reality Boston. Boston has been my dream since I was seven years old. A few years passed and then I was looking into college in New England. Boston was on my radar again. I chickened out because it seemed so far from everyone and everything in California. A few more years passed and then my senior year of college came around, and it was there again. I was determined to get to Boston one way or another. I decided and felt Denver was where I was supposed to be.
In fifty seven hours, I will be on a plane headed for Boston. The place I have drempt of living for my whole life. I fell as if my life is coming to a standstill, a crossroads if you will. I have built up this place for so long in my head. I will finally be there. I can count the days. I can count the hours. I can count the minutes. Its here and I am not sure what to think.
All I know is eight months and fifteen days ago, I heard a big announcement at a church I love and May 9th 2012 seemed like an eternity. And its here. Wow.
