Why God moved us 3,000 miles

This is just an excerpt from an email I wrote to a friend back home about life here, job searching, Scott and me... it's a good explaination of who I am and where I am now...

The wild fires are causing lots of smoke in the valley, where we are, and it's pretty nasty outside. Not to mention hot! And, it's a different kind of heat from GA- dry. We get the Delta Breezes, but with all the smoke and fires going on, they're doing more of stirring up than cooling down...
Thanks for putting out feelers for me. We're in Roseville, and there is one FSU about ten minutes from us- we're in Placer County, which reminds me of Fayette in a few ways. Schools are great, people are nice, and there is a mix of city space and country. I need to work some, not sure to what extent, but when I was back in GA I met with my friends from work. We were talking about what we were doing and wanted to do when one mentioned doing something like marketing with Chick-fil-A. I've worked with them for the past several years in ordering for our events, fundraising, etc. Asking around out here, I'm not as sure how "connected" the stores are to the schools and churches like at home- but I've only been here a few weeks! I would love to work for a company that, as cheesy as it sounds, is part of my Southern identity and a business that I LOVE. It's been such a part of me, we naturally make our friends who haven't eaten there drive over with us to eat there! I'm praying for God to show me where he wants me to be. We'd been here about a week, feeling far away from home, and took the kids to the Roseville store for lunch. When Will got out of the car, he said, "Oh... I'm so happy! Chick-a-fil-a!" It was the only time I felt at home those first two weeks here! I feel like I'm creative, personable, and know enough about the company, plus, I've experienced being in a community where Chick-fil-A is really apart of us.
I've applied for teaching positions with a charter school where I wouldn't work a regular day, either teach on-line classes or be a contact teacher for home-schooled students. I also applied at a gym and Starbucks for the EARLY morning shifts. That way I could be out by the time the kids are out of school, three days a week.
I love SLAH, but I am not a sales person for something I don't really think is for everyone. Either you love it or not (and you should see the new catalog coming out next month! It's double hostess month too, so you can get double the half price and double the free money for SLAH items! Did you get my email with the clearance items?...) I like talking about it, but I can't walk up to someone and convince them to buy a $60 vase when they stay at home with their kids. So, if people like it, I'll show it off, but am not built to be pushy about it. I'm waiting for someone want a party instead of me asking them to have it.
So, you can see, I'm trying to "water the fields" so that when God is ready, I'll be ready to respond. The Surrender book has helped! Everyday, I think about how far out of my comfort zone God has placed me, and pray for his direction, to plant me somewhere, to do something for Him.
Scott is loving his job- I can see how the past several, hard years of climbing, falling, and climbing up the mountain got us to this place where something beautiful is. We love this church, We love these people. And, even though It's not "home", these people are already family. It's hard to explain! Our 6 year ann was yesterday, so I've been a little reflective; I've honestly never been more proud of him or happier for him at any point in our marriage. When we said "I do," I never knew I'd love him this much. He is so amazing, talented, level-headed and yet a dreamer. I am so honored God lets me go along with what Scott is doing. In him I see this person I never realized was there and knew was there all along! He is incredible, and we are so blessed to be here, doing this (whatever God wants "this" to be) together. Although I do miss home, I don't want to miss one opportunity here, one moment. Just a fast as we got here, we could be gone! So, Carpe Diem!
I'll pass on the love here- you do so back there! We miss friends like you- that just means you've got to get out here and visit!!
Thanks for your help on this! I don't know what God has in store- and am excited to see where I go!
