It is. I don’t know how I feel about it, but it is. This summer Zach and I are moving to Texas. He cannot complete his seminary in Memphis, so we will be heading west.
These last couple of months have been a big ball of emotions for me as we decided that that’s what we needed to do. My coworkers probably think I’m crazy, because I’ve cried like a baby a couple of times. Then, there are those times when I’m very excited because of the newness aspect. Then, I freak out thinking about Texas traffic, and I want to curl up in the corner and rock. I hop back to being excited because I abhor apartment living and can’t wait to get away from my obnoxious neighbors. I think about the wonderful school and staff I am a part of now, and tears well up in my eyes every time. It will be great to live by Zach’s sister and her soon-to-be husband, but we’re leaving so much family and so many friends here. I am just a mess!
Zach and I went to Texas this weekend and got to stay with Lydia and spend time with Jose as well.
Don’t they look precious together? Thanks again for letting us stay with you, Lydia! I accepted a position at ACI Academy in Fort Worth. I will either be teaching 2nd or 4th grade. That will be decided closer to August. ACI stands for academics, Christ, and integrity. They centralized Christ in their name because the goal of the school is to keep Christ at the center of it all. I am excited for all of the changes that private school will bring. It’s going to be a big adjustment, but I think I will enjoy it.
We don’t know where we will be living yet, but we’re already planning a guest room. This means you MUST come visit! PLEASE!
In all of this newness and unknown, God is teaching me to trust Him more. He is gently reminding me that He has never failed to provide or lead in a loving way. My prayer is that my emotions are trumped by my trust in God. I hope all of you had a lovely Easter, reader friends.
Shaped by Grace,
Jessica Hardy
