I love it when I have a cool "God story." Let me write about what happened to me today.
Well, the biggest thing that has been holding me back from moving is my church. I love, I mean LOVE my church. I love it more than any other church I've ever been to my whole life. I love the praise and worship, the pastor, the teaching, but most of all the people, and how they have truly gathered around me as a body of believers to support me, a girl they didn't even know. So I have just been scared that if I move, I won't be able to find a church that lifts me up like this one does. It has been VERY heavy on my heart for the past couple of weeks, or well, since I started thinking about moving.
So today, after the sermon, I was waiting to talk to Pastor Mike about meeting with him sometime this week to see if he could help me find a good church in Orlando... and this man comes up to me and says, "Are you Angela, Lauren's friend who is thinking about relocating to Orlando?" And so I say, "Yes..." and it turns out he is actually from Orlando, and his parents and family still live there! He told me that his parents have a huge 4 bedroom house and his mother loves to help people, and that he is sure they would be more than happy to "take me under their wing" so to speak... they go to a great church there, he said, AND have tons and tons of contacts to help me find a job! He was sure they would love to help me out and I could even stay with them if I ever needed to. How awesome is that! SO even though I think it might hurt Cheryl's feelings if I don't go to church with her and Brandon, she will understand that I want to go somewhere different. It was a huge sign to me today.
Do you know what this means?! If I find a great church down there, then there will be absolutely nothing holding me back from going! (If I like it of course, haha, pending this week's visit.) Even my mom, who I thought would flip out about me moving so far away without a job waiting for me, told me yesterday that she understands and supports me! If you know anything about my family, you know that that in and of itself is a miracle!
Sorry Sara, I know I told you all this but I had to get it out for documentation purposes, you understand. Plus I am just really excited about this being a very real possiblity!
Zinc coughdrops are DISGUSTING.

Peace out for now................
