Where to begin? As I prepare to leave the area I am now living in, and move on to bigger and better things. I can only hope where I end up is better, than where I have been. I have given everything away and starting over soon in a place I have never been but always wanted to go. I have no idea what will happen once I arrive.
As the days go by before I leave, where I am at now. I have put all my faith in God, that God will lead me to where I need to go and the people I need to meet. What I have chose to do, is not an easy thing, in fact, it is not an easy thing for anyone to do. As I have no idea what will happen, until I get there, and that is the hardest part of all. The not knowing.
I have met many great people, that now I will be leaving behind as I trek on this adventure. Some will follow along as I write about it, those I know in real life and those I have never met. Getting resettled is not going to be an easy task, to say the least, but it is something I must do and have chosen to do. Like tossing the dice and seeing how they land.
I plan on writing about my past as it will be a very interesting story to tell. But it will be a while before I will be able to write that story because it will take a while to get resettled again. There are so many things I will have to do before I can get to that point. Like finding a place to live first and getting to know my way around as it will not be like living in Tulelake.
Living in Tulelake I know most of the people that live here and they know me. Where living on the Big Island I will be meeting new people for the first time, even tourist as they visit the island. A whole new adventure that is uncertain for me as I write this, but for some reason that I am unable to explain. I need to go is all I know. And I am going.
What will happen after I arrive is up in the air. All I can hope for is that it will be better than where I have been and that I will be able to write stories about the Big Island, like I have Tulelake and that people will continue to read what I write. The uncertainty is what I fear the most at this moment in time. Once again, the not knowing but putting my faith in God, that God will lead me to meet the right people that can open the doors and windows for me to find the place where God wants me to be.
I have been homeless before, but this is different as I will be on an island in the pacific that I cannot hitch hike back to the mainland. Once I am there, I am there and will have to make do with what ever happens and the opportunities that God willing will cross my path.
I love to write and I can only hope with lots of prayers for my well being that God will answer those prayers for me and my future on an island in the pacific.
God bless all that read what I write.
