I have been on this journey of going to school in Houston
for months now. It has been my every focus and thought since Aug/Sept. I wanted
to go to Houston so bad because it was what I felt I needed. It was a clean
start with a great opportunity to grow and step outside of my comfort zone and
get a great education. I went for a visit last month and to be honest I wasn’t
overly impressed with Houston. The school was beautiful and old and the social
work program is rather impressive. There were things I liked and things I didn’t
like about the program, but overall it seemed to be a good program. Though I
struggled with Houston as a whole. The city, the people, it was all very
overwhelming for me and kind of discouraging.
I came home not as excited and was kind of disappointed.
Ever since coming home something about it didn’t feel right. This past week I
have felt somewhat lost and nervous about feeling this way after all these
months of making these plans. Then I had a conversation with a beautiful friend
and something she said really stuck with me. She said, “some of the worst
decisions I have made were based on fear, and some of the best decisions I have
made were based on love.” I have sat with that all week and came to the decision
to not go to Houston.
The main reason I have decided to stay and go to school in
AZ is because of my family (love). We have been through so much the last few
years and we are just now getting closer and I want to actively participate in
their lives and I want to live life with them. I just couldn’t leave because I
would be missing out on so much.
Now for the good news that so many have been waiting for…..I
will be able to take a graduate course online class this summer to get me
caught up and start classes in the Fall in FLAGSTAFF!!!! I will be MOVING in
Aug up NORTH. I am beyond excited and feel that this is just the change I need
but still close to my family. I will get the best of both worlds.
I am blessed beyond blessed to have such amazing souls in my
life. Talked to a beautiful soul friend this morning and she reframed my
through process of looking at this Houston journey as a failure. She said that
your journey of working through this process has allowed yourself to process of
parts of my life that may not have been addressed if you had not been working
on this Houston journey.
It’s all growth and I am just glad I saw it before I
actually moved.
So Flagstaff here I come…..Oh how exciting!!!
