My new life

Hello everyone,

Hope this new blog finds you all well.

Today finds me in my third week as an Admissions Advisor at DeVry University.

To start off, I have to say I am incredibly thankful for this position. Finding any job in an economy like this is something to be thankful for. To be working with nice people and to be able to do the job well...that's a blessing from God.

Also, my apartment is very nice. It's a one bedroom, but it's spacious and in a good area. Feel free to come up and visit sometime.

While I am trying to focus on all these positives, I am really struggling emotionally.

I never dreamed I would live alone in a city I knew hardly anything about. My plan was to stay at home, find a job locally, and wait until Eric and I got married to move out. God, however, seems to  have another plan, and I am trying very hard to trust this is the right thing for me.

Living alone is one of the hardest things I have ever done. I am not good at cooking for myself or keeping myself occupied. To be honest, I cry a lot because I am homesick, boyfriend sick, and just comfort zone sick.

Please pray that I find peace in the midst of this big life change. I know God has good plans for me, but it's hard to be sure you are in his plan when you feel so sad. Also, please pray that I can focus on the positives and not on the negatives. I want this to be a good experience, despite myself.

Thanks for reading! Hope to see and talk to you all soon!
