You're doing what?

I'm tired of it. I'm tired of telling people I'm moving to Houston and the first thing they say to me is either " why in the world would you ever do that " or " that place is miserable." Here's a note of advice, if you want to encourage someone try not to say those things either to their face or immediately.
I've starting weighing all the different answers I can give people to make them feel that much worse for responding to me like that. Yes, that has gone through my mind.
Fortunately it hasn't materialized yet into actual words directed at someone. But really, why have I moved here. Can I answer that in a very short sentence that is the God honest truth without trying to be super spiritual at all what so ever - I moved to Houston because I am belieivng in faith that this is the exact place I needed to go. Not the place I needed to go to be succesful, not the place I needed to go because I am going to do great things or that anyone needs me here, and not the place I needed to go to in order to be blessed. But it is the decision to trust in faith that I needed to make and that is why I have moved here.
But couldn't I have stayed in Colorado and done the exact same things as I am going to do in Houston. Want to know the answer - NO.
I couldn't because i know that a decision to have stayed there would have been one led by fear of not leaving and not one of faith. There are people everywhere. There is need everywhere for people to minister by loving others. The measure isn't as much of the what I will be doing as it is the living by faith. Right now, I needed to live by faith and that meant trusting this way. This I can say with certainty.
