comfort in flux

Oh my goodness September is here!! When September comes around it always makes me think about changing seasons and our changing times. I can't believe that last September at this time I had not moved to Hawai'i yet. Now a year later and Hawai'i seems like it happened a long time ago and I feel like I have lived in San Diego for much longer than a month and-a-half.

I'm hopeful but, at the same time, a little anxious about the coming fall and winter. For as long as I can remember, I have never had a good fall and winter so naturally I am a bit pessimistic about it, however, this may very well be the fall and winter that I have been waiting for. I liken experiencing an awesome fall and winter to an Olympic athlete finally tasting that gold medal: After training for and anticipating the olympics all his life he believes it's possible but doesn't really believe it until he is actually standing on the podium and experiencing the medal around his neck. Likewise, though I have been dreaming of and anticipating a great fall and winter for a long time, and I know it's possible, I don't think that I'll completely believe it until I am actually in the thick of november and still feeling relatively good.

I was offered a full-time job by American Specialty Health (ASH) today! Woot! I accepted the offer and now I do not have to worry about a full-time job! Woot! I wasn't as happy as I thought I'd be though. I've kind of been in a weird/lackadaisical mood all day. I think it's a combo of a few different things: running a ton this week, super hot weather all week, the rolled chicken tacos I ate that didn't sit well with me at lunch + though it's a good thing that I received the job all this transitioning and in-flux stuff is still stressful I guess...even if it's a good stress.

Anyways, I just wanted to post once more before August ended. You know what's amazing??? In the midst of flux and change (that defines this life of ours) God is ALWAYS constant, ALWAYS good, forever our anchor. What a COMFORT!!!
