"There are good people everywhere"

I have moved a lot in my life. Some of the moves I don't even remember. The ones I do remember, I didn't appreciate so much at the time.  We were always moving, it seemed, because Dad went to school, finished school, got a new job, or ouf family just out-grew our house.  I really have never lived anywhere for more than about 5 years- even now.  Every time I would be upset about leaving friends Mom would always say to me, "There are good people everywhere."

My sweetheart and I are now at a place that I never thought we'd be. School is done, residency will be done in a year, and we can literally go anywhere for a job. We actually get to pick!!  Or we could just stay here in AZ, too.  The last couple weeks have been looking all over in the "West" for jobs hoping to find the right fit for us and somehow be closer to family.  What we are finding, though, is there are so many options. It is kind of overwhelming thinking that we might actually settle somewhere.  What does that mean?  Settle?!? Does such a thing exist?  It is a little scary to have that responsibility.

But I hold fast to that wisdom from Mom. Once again she is absolutely right.  There are good people everywhere.  I have met good, great, wonderful, fantastic people all over the world.  I have faith in people.  And I have faith that we'll be sent to the people that we need to be with.  I know the Lord will guide our family to the place we are supposed to be.  I dont' know that we'll settle there, but I do know that I am thankful that I don't have to be the One in charge of that. 

There ARE good people EVERYWHERE.  Thanks to all those people who have blessed me and made my life what it is. I will be eternally thankful.
