A new beginning...

Well, it has officially began... Jason, Kori and I are sitting in the airport in Monroe waiting on our plane to head to NYC and begin our foot search for our apartments. As much as we have researched and hunted online, I know there's nothing that can prepare us for this amazing journey we are about to begin. 

We have all been blessed with parents that support us and will be praying for us as we make this trip, and we are so grateful. I don't think we could make it without them behind us. As I write this, I just received a text from mama...

Prayer For Protection
The light of God surrounds me
The love of God enfolds me
The power of God protects me
The presence of God watches over me
Wherever I am,God is.

I have so much faith that we are making the right decision and that God will lead us in our search. 

Today we will meet up with Leo and stay with his brother-in-law, who so graciously is letting us crash at his place! We will begin our search this afternoon, so fingers crossed :)

We would love your prayers, as I know this is going to be a hard new journey for us. We are all strong and I know we will survive, but only with the support and prayers of those who love us and the drive and faith of ourselves.  

As the great Ferris Bueller says... "Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
