Its been 6 months since we took a huge leap of faith and moved to the small town of Oologah, Oklahoma. At first I was a little nervous about moving out so far, thinking I may have trouble not being so close to necessities and such. But to my surprise its been the opposite. We moved here in June and by November the town added a brand new grocery store and of course we have a dollar store. We're only about 15 min from Claremore which also has pretty much everything else we would need.
Since we've been here things have been difficult, I wont lie. It seems like we've been attacked at every turn. But I am firm in my belief that we were led here for a purpose. We had originally started attending a church here in Oologah but after some thinking and talking we decided it might be best to look elsewhere for a church more involved in the community.
The truth is that I love it out here. For the first time ever in my adult life I am at peace with certain things. Right now my van is in need of work so I dont go any farther than in town, for those of you who know me you know that I hate feeling "trapped", without a car. But I actually dont feel this way at all. I am at peace about it. Yes I want it fixed and yes it bothers me but not the way it used to. This place is special. The kids are happy here, the community is nice and people here are so generous. I have met wonderful people here.
My prayers for the coming year include us being able to stay here. Im not sure what all this will entail but Im trusting God that things will work in our favor. I ask all praying people to continue to pray for us regarding this.
For those of you who have not been out to see me and this magical town please try to make it out. I know I would love a visit and the kids too. Thank you to all who have prayed and have been praying its appreciated more than you know.
