Oh Omaha!

Omaha...Nebraska... NEVER in a million years would I have imagined this would be a place I could be living.
I have often imagined moving somewhere great, like Tampa or Aspen...but Omaha? Not so much.
But yet here we are, in the middle of this adventure of life, and it seems as though Omaha is where God is directing us.
It really is a beautiful place, but still not too far off from our midwestern roots.
I really am excited about this opportunity, but stepping into the unknown and unexperienced is always a little bit scary too.
Justin and I could both travel the Quad Cities blindfolded...we have lived here our whole lives!
We were in Omaha for about 2 1/2 days this past weekend, and got lost almost EVERYWHERE we went!
But I'm sure, like with everything, you adapt. And I'm sure it won't be long before the city and people of Omaha also begin to feel like home.
I have never been outside of my comfort zone when it comes to living environment, or being away from family.
I think it will be good for us. It will force us to open up to new relationships, and I think it will draw us closer as a family as well.
Sometimes surrendering to God...I mean COMPLETELY surrendering...is the most difficult thing to do. It would be so, so, SO much easier to stay here in the QC and just keep doing what we are doing. But when it comes down to it, no matter how painful or how difficult, the voice of God is the only one we should listen to.
What an adventure....here we go!
