For starters, I was born in Lexington, Kentucky as the first child of my family. When I was four years old, my parents and my twin brother and sister moved to Jefferson City, Missouri. I built friendships and dreams throughout my elementary and middle school years. I dreamt of the cheering crowd as I ran the winning touchdown or won a crucial wrestling match. However, my dreams were cut short as I was diagnosed with a stress fracture in my back that will never heal. This opened up free time to focus on academics and other hobbies; I even took up the guitar. That same year, we moved to Mason, Michigan. I had to start over and starting is over significantly harder than I imagined. Not only did I have to learn to make new relationships, but I …show more content…
I have had the opportunity to attend on many occasions, and each time I was greeted with kindness. I am reminded of happiness and purity throughout these gatherings that motivate me to be more accepting and forgiving to others. Although I have only met with Jason Huwe a small number of times, he has greatly affected my faith, more than I expected and more than he knows, along with Michelle Huwe, Jeffrey Fluhrer and Paula …show more content…
One year we were given the opportunity to walk through a path in the woods alone at night: a pitch-black night. Even without my ability to see, God guided me through this path with ease. As I walked through Gods natural garden, rather than be fearful that I would get lost or run into danger, I found myself wanting to find and comfort others I knew were feeling this fear. Throughout my journey of life, I have and will continue to make a point to try and understand what others are going through and to help them through their struggles. As the last few friends made their way to the end of the path, we realized not everyone made it to the end of the path. It did not take us long to find them. However, I found myself asking why God did not help them through the path. I came to the conclusion that we all get separated from God’s path at some point, but there will always be an army of people to find you and guide you back to God. I am glad to be one of those
I was born and raised in Buffalo, New York and it’s all I’ve ever known. When I was younger my parents took me on little short trips like, Toronto and Columbus, Ohio. I was young, so I didn’t really remember a lot that was going on or different about the two places. When I got older, I decided I wanted a change in my life but did not know what or where. In September of 2003, I was invited to my cousin’s wedding in Charlotte, North Carolina. I decided to go and when I did, I did not want to return back to Buffalo. Of course, I had to come back to Buffalo because I was only visiting. I had made up in my mind right then, Charlotte, North Carolina was the place for my children and me. I decided to move to Charlotte before Christmas of that year. My experiences were years to remember. I stayed in Charlotte for a total of seven years. During the years I had been living in Charlotte, my most memorable experiences were the weather and the commuting.
Many folks go their whole lives without having to move. For them it is easy; they know the same people, have loads of friends, and never have to move away from their families. As with me, I was in a different situation. I grew up my entire life, all eighteen years of it, in a small town called Yorktown, Virginia. In my attempt to reach out for a better life style, my girlfriend and I decided we were going to move to Shreveport, Louisiana. Through this course of action, I realized that not two places in this country are exactly alike. I struggled with things at first, but I found some comforts of home here as well.
When I was 7 years, I moved from my home in Australia to the other side of the planet to Dallas Texas. When I heard that I was moving, I felt a wave of despair wipe over me. As Taylor says “I have never in my own memory been outside of Kentucky” (Kingsolver 12). This was the same for me since I had never been
I grew up in a home with a family that attend church weekly and was active in the church family. I knew about God and about His son but I never remember the story of salvation and the personal need for a savoir. As a teenager I walked away from the religion that I thought did not offer my anything. In my thirties, my husband was diagnosed with cancer and I immediately started my negotiations with God. Little did I know that He was not a negotiator but it was during this time in my life that I needed God more than He needed me. Since accepting the gift of God’s love, the salvation of a Savoir, and the renovation of my heart, I look to God for the path of my life. I share Gods truth through my career change to a Christian nob-profit that’s vision is to share God’s love to the community through the platform of pregnancy care and family services. Personally I have fulfilled God’s call to help the less fortunate by adopting a sibling group and participating and supporting mission trips to third world countries to support his children and missions there. My final piece of God’s plan I feel lead to complete is to volunteer my professional expertise and finances to work with a mission group that provides laboratory services to third world mission hospitals. I have done one trip for them and am currently planning a trip to Honduras in the new year. My day to
My hometown city carved me into the man I am today. It was hard growing up on that side of town, but at the same time everything happens for a reason. If I had the chance to move back to my city I wouldn’t go, because now that I moved to Georgia I realize all the flaws Detroit had. The roads are terrible and I hate the snow now. I got used to the great weather and the luxury of the city down south, but the only thing I missed from up north was my associates. (Friends) The only way to change the lonely feelings is to gain
Not knowing what to expect from this journey, God led me to the doors of a place
For the worship service, I visited one of the Quaker's Friends meeting houses. Since my family's religious background is Catholic Christian, This offered interesting views and different perceptions. Quaker's history and believes were especially brought me interest.
Suddenly, I was put out of my “comfort” zone. Because my dad got a new job, I moved from a small city called Eugene to a big city called Portland. Me, along with my four other siblings, were put into a tiny private school with
Have you ever had to leave behind almost everything that you loved, and go somewhere new, and try new things? I have, and that’s something that’s still happening today. This is about my experience moving from Georgia, to Columbia, South Carolina. But before I even lived in Georgia, I lived in a small town in Virginia. Now looking back on it, I’m glad that our family left Virginia, because in Georgia, and now South Carolina, there’s so much more opportunity for success. But at the time it was very difficult, because that was all I knew. But that’s the reason I have hope for moving to Columbia. But I had to leave behind a whole lot of stuff in Georgia, and now it’s like I have to work really hard to get back what I once had.
It was a beautiful, sunny day in South Florida. I was six years old, playing by the pool with my new puppy. I loved swimming in the pool almost every day after school. I also enjoyed going out on our boat after school or crossing the street and going to the beach. My father came home one evening with some interesting news. Now, I do not remember exactly how I felt about the news at that time, but it seemed like I did not mind that much. He had announced that we were going to move back to my birth country, Belgium. I had been living in Florida for five years and it was basically all I had known so I did not know what to expect. I had to live with my mom at first, and then my sister would join us after she graduated high school and my father finished settling things. I remember most of my earlier childhood by watching some old videos of me playing by the pool and dancing in the living room. It seemed like life could not get any better. However, I was excited and impatient to experience a new lifestyle. I realized that I could start a whole new life, make new friends and learn a new language. Belgium was not as sunny as South Florida but it has much better food and family oriented activities. Geographic mobility can have many positive effects on younger children, such as learning new languages, being more outgoing, and more family oriented; therefore, parents should not be afraid to move around and experience new cultures.
As my mom was adjusting to a new member in her small, little family, Buck was adjusting to his new job, and the new dogs he’d always work with. Neither of them had any clue what they were doing, but after practice they eventually got through it one way or another. However, it was not easy for Buck or my mother and took all the energy and more out of both of them. From getting zero sleep because of a little baby, and learning new things that cause great exhaustion, they both worked through it to overcome their struggles. As Buck got saved by John Thornton, my mom got saved by her daughter Katie when she finally slept. Before Buck and my mom ever went through their persevering moments, neither of them could ever imagine going through something like what they did. It took extreme amounts of effort, strength, and perseverance to be able to overcome the new lives they
The day I moved away, a lot of things were going through my young mind. As I took my last look at my home, I remembered all the fun times I had with my family and friends through out my life. Now I was moving 800 miles away from all of that with no insight on what lied ahead for me. As my family and I drove away from our Michigan home, I looked out the window wondering what Virginia would be, and what my friends were doing. A lot of things were going through my mind at the time. At the time my main worry was if I would make any friends, and how I would adjust to everything. During the whole drive down, my mother would often let me know that everything would be all right and I would like it. Trying to be strong and hold back my tears, I just shook my head no, wondering why we had to move so far away. Life would be different for me and I knew it would.
To begin, moving to Virginia impacted my life in so many ways. The reason I moved is because my mom got remarried. I am so thankful that she did. It gave me the opportunity to go to this amazing school. I’ve made so many friends that I wouldn’t trade for the world. I also started going to this undescribable church and I have been truly blessed by this church and my church family.
Have you ever had to move somewhere completely different at a young age? Perhaps somewhere you didn’t even know existed? As a
