It’s Hotter in Texas
Nine months ago, I left this blog with short spirits and a weakening attitude towards life. The bitter chill of New York was weighing heavily on me, and everywhere I turned was a new emotional obstacle…
The toughest decision I had to make was leaving New York. Wrong.
The toughest decision I had to make was leaving my friends. I met a small handful of individuals with such unique personalities, witty lifestyles, and the biggest hearts. Everyone was a character with their own personal worlds from which they came. No one was the same. We were all different. And we all loved each other’s company.
In the end, I had to do what was best for me, and I was blessed to be surrounded by friends who were supportive of that. The move back to Texas was for spiritual healing and, in short, for rest…
It’s hotter in Texas. Since my return in March, I’ve worked a retail position at a Hobby Lobby, and rehearsed a title role for Second Baptist’s VBS! I am now looking forward to strong potential work on cinematography and film editing with my brother and one of his co-workers, as well as some filming for a web series directed by my High School theatre instructor, C.J. Brock.
Life has proven to be quite crooked and surprisingly unpredictable. Just when we think we’ve got everything settled in one season, the summer heat blows in and forces us to relocate. The battle I face is one with pride. I must constantly remind myself that God’s plans for me are made for the long run and are never based on temporary satisfaction. I’m back!
