I made a mistake a couple days ago. I was in terrible anguish over choosing between 2 jobs: One in Atlanta with the majority of my friends & family in a city I “hate”, and the other in North Carolina where I hardly know a sole and have only visited once but seems to be a place that fits me. While being in turmoil over this decision, I had several people ask me, “Liz(zy), what do YOU want?” I felt like I was in the stupid Notebook (I think that’s the only part I like about the movie because that is…me…for everything). I never really had much of an answer bust silly things like being able to bike/walk to work, being in a green/granola place (reminds me of Africa), and learning to settle down. However, what I really want most is a community. I’ve spent, oh, the last 11 years spread out among many. I’m tired. And, what did I do, but choose the job in the city where I know only person. Um, where in the world is my community there? I was so upset over my decision. I mean, my friends and family are in Atlanta! However, despite my mistake, God is good. I had forgotten I had e-mailed a Catholic church in Chapel Hill that I was looking for some Catholic girls to live with. The e-mails have been pouring in from (hopefully) my new community. Thank You for loving me despite myself and random decisions.
