All Things Cozy & Life Update

BEFORE YOU READ ANY FURTHER—Go get a nice cozy beverage! I’m currently sipping on chamomile tea and just feeling chatty!

How are you doing? Like really. I want to know. It’s been a wild few weeks, hasn’t it? March was stressful in pretty much every way for us. We started the month so excited about transitioning out of the army, moving to a new state, and Danny starting a new career. We didn’t have much planned out but were excited and hopeful for the future. We had friends visiting for a couple weeks and we showed them all around O’ahu and we were even going through all our things and selling, organizing, and minimizing in every way. We were in a groove and ready for this new chapter in our lives.

THEN CORONAVIRUS CRAZINESS BEGAN.

At first, we honestly didn’t think much about it. We weren’t worried at all about traveling or going places and we were still focused on our transition. As the days passed, though, and things became increasingly more alarming, we started to re-think E V E R Y T H I N G. Suddenly, we realized how thankful we were for our situation and didn’t feel comfortable leaving the Army when the economy was crashing, people were losing their jobs, and so many people sick. We are able to quaranteen in our home and put groceries on our table and not have to worry about medical care should we get sick. So many things were put into perspective for us over the last few weeks that we knew we needed to change course and do it FAST.

Honestly, i’m still not sure how all of this is going to pan out. We still have the movers scheduled to come in 14 days. We still have a hotel booked that we are supposed to be staying in during our last ten days in Hawaii. Yet, we put in paperwork to continue our time in the military. It hasn’t gotten processed or approved yet, but we are hoping it does. I can’t even believe I am sharing all of this right now- ha- but like I said, i’m feeling chatty. :)

So that’s where we stand. We have absolutely no idea what the future holds for us, but honestly, I feel like a lot of the world is feeling like that right about now. My heart breaks for all the suffering happening right now- in all the different capacities.

Most days I feel a sense of uneasiness but I know that God has got this. The other day I was feeling so anxious that I went on a drive and sat on an empty beach. I spent some time praying and the Lord reminded me that ‘A man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.’ (Proverbs 16:9) It felt like we had a set course but it seems like God had other plans and I KNOW that God’s plans are the best plans. I’m starting to feel the anxiety lift and the peace come in.

SO that is where I am at! It feels nice to write all of this out and i’m glad I’m sharing all of this hear rather than on Insta-stories. If you are actually reading this then you are a REAL homie and I am so grateful for you. <3
