From Lynchburg to Chesapeake

From Lynchburg to Chesapeake
Finally a breath… I feel as though breathing has been limited over the past few days, I promise I am not being dramatic!
Tuesday morning, I woke up packed up my beetle and had a silent drive to Charlottesville where I made a quick pit stop to see my good friend Holly. Holly is one of those people you WANT to be with when you are moving to a new place, she is encouraging and loving and so bold. I appreciate Holly so much because she allows me to be a more bold person. After goodbyes were said I drive the 2 hours to Chesapeake only to the warmest welcome imagineable. I met leaders and committee who all just seemed so excited to see me and made me feel so cared for, what a comfort. They have no idea the fear I had felt all day and how their loving welcome eased so much.
After my 4 hours in Chesapeake I drove to Fredericksburg arrived at 12 midnight, spent the night and drive the 6 hours for literally 24 hours of training at Lake Champion, I was dreading it but it was exactly what I needed.
I am here. Thats all I keep saying to myself. I have been waiting almost 5 months to be here and now I am here. I am scared out of my mind but as I was sitting with God this morning this is what I read “You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.” Psalm 32:7. I will never be alone here!
