New Chapter

After 4 years of living in Guatemala, I am back in Orange County and ready to begin this new chapter of my life. 

The night before my departure, I was feeling a little nervous and frustrated that I hadn’t been able to sell my car. I had to surrender that to God and leave it at the alter. The following morning my landlord came by to look at the house and gave me back the deposit. He shared how pleased he was having me rent his home. While we were talking, a neighbor stopped by and asked to speak to me. My landlord left and my neighbor introduced me to her father. He was interested in buying my car. After a good talk, a ride around the neighborhood, he gave me a check. It wasn’t what I was hoping to get for it, but this was a huge blessing. 

I miss my friends from Guatemala and the kids I was able to work with, but just like any good book, that chapter is over and a new one has started. 

It has been an adventure this past week getting back to what used to be my normal life 4 years ago. I got a car, started at a new Speech clinic and have been spending good quality time with my family. 

I have so many dreams and desires for the next year. I am ready to do what needs to get done and enjoy the ride!
