It's Time To Blog Again...

It's been about 2 years since I wrote a blog and I am going to attempt to re-enter the world of blogging :)  I love to write, I'm not sure why I don't do it more often.  I read somewhere once to "stay where you grow".  I wish I could remember the exact quote because it is much more insightful and thought provoking.  For the last 6 months I had been intending and planning to relocate back to Charlotte, NC for a handful of reasons.  However, over the last month my heart has moved a different direction.  God is doing things here in my life in NJ.

For most of my adult life I have moved every year or every few years.  I've done some pretty incredible things, grown as a person and seen the world.  The Lord has given me unbelievable experiences.  I like change and it doesn't intimidate me.  It actually excites me.  BUT, I believe I'm in a new season and this season involves staying and seeing it through. It means having a impact beyond a few years and seeing the change come to fruition.  It means facing and working through some things that are difficult versus walking away.  So with that said for the time being I'm staying in NJ.  I have signed a lease in Marlton and I will continue to manage the Starbucks I've been at for the last year and a half in Cherry Hill.  Some pretty incredible things are happening there too.  More to come later...off to celebrate Independence Day!  Happy Fourth of July!
