I've been feeling restless lately. Restless with my job, restless with my ministry opportunities. Restless with where I am in life. I feel stuck. I'm not sure what to do. Then, a nurse at work was talking to me about how she travels and how much she loves it. She's about my age, no significant other, no children. She owns a house that she's trying to pay off and is wanting to go to grad school to be an ARNP. She worked in the ICU at Munroe, but when she gets to Virginia, she's going to work in the OR. She's thinking about doing PACU and ED in her next assignments.
This concept has been sitting on my mind for the last few days. While I think it's cowardly to run from your problems, and I know that there will be problems everywhere, I've been kicking around if this may not be a good idea for me. I've been praying about it and asked my mom to do the same, I'm still just not sure what to do. There are so many benefits to it- great pay, the companies pay for your rent and most of them pick up you utilities as well, they pay for your travel, health insurance, and most others have many other benefits as well. Even, being able to see family and friends across the countr. The disadvantages are many as well-being away from my family and friends here at home, not having "my" home, the great potential for being disconnected from my friends and church and the goings on here in Ocala.
I'm torn. I feel that God is closing doors here, and that He's opening doors as well. I'm just not sure where those doors are...
I'm just not sure

Beth, I can certainly understand your restlessness. The only thing I want to tell you is that, as someone who left this town for eight months two years ago, it is hard to reconnect when you come back. If you recall, it took you and I about five months to reconnect after I got back. Something to consider. I love ya.
