Tomorrow's a big day. This little bird, or rather cat, will fly out of the nest.
I lost count of how many times I wished that I could move out when things were strained between my folks and I, or when I simply just wanted more freedom. And now the day is finally here.
It couldn't come at a better time - there are no strained relationships home-wise and I do not feel inhibited living with them. I'm not running away from something bad but rather, I'm moving towards something good and different. I'm going on to a new chapter in my life. And that is really the best way to start things - a good exit with blessings from all parties will ensure a good entry to new settings.
With this move, I'm also looking for a new cell group nearer to my new digs. My soon-to-be ex-zone pastor gave his blessings and I sought his recommendation for my new spiritual home. He knows me well enough to know where I'll fit in like a glove. There are four young adult cell groups in that vicinity, he gave the name of one but said that I could check out the other three as well. Initially, I was stumped as to which cell group I should visit - would take a long while to visit all four before determining which one I should settle in. Then I recalled that it's better if the cell meetings are held in the middle of the week since I'm away on assignment most Fridays and weekends. I looked through the list of 4 cells and only 1 meets on Wednesdays. And that was the exact one my pastor recommended. So that's where I'll visit first.
New job.
New home.
New cell.
It's not even half a year yet.
Whee!
Ariel is happy with her life, thank you very much. If she needs good advice, she knows when and where to ask for it. So chill lar.
