Moving Day The day I moved from the small town of Independence to Virginia Beach was one of the scariest times of my life. Independence is an extremely small town of around 900 people with one stop light. Living in a greatly populated area with absolutely no friends or family other than my husband and my youngest daughter frightened me beyond what I thought I could handle. I cried out to God to give me the emotional and physical strength I needed to make it through this life event. Finding daylight at the end of this moving tunnel that was spiraling out of my control did not seem possible. It was a hot day in June when my husband pulled into our driveway with a huge U-Haul truck. A few friends came to help load our meager belongings into the …show more content…
I was already stressed enough and I did not need this extra push of anxiety. Thoughts of dropping those cats on the side of the road entered my mind, but I keep pulling out strength from within me to keep moving forward. Finally we were back on the road. Continuing our path down Highway 58 across the state of Virginia, I somehow began to see a small ray of sunshine. The more I drove the more hope I found and in that hope seemed to be strength. After several more stops for food, bathroom breaks, gas and taking care of animal needs we finally reached our destination of the big city of Virginia Beach. Pulling into the driveway I was surprised by new friends waiting to help us unload the U-Haul. Unloading our belongings did not seem as difficult for me emotionally as loading them did. I finally accepted the fact that we were moving by the action in itself and I did not fall apart. Upon accepting this move, God gave me the strength I needed to make it through this transition in my life. There was no doubt it would take a long time for me to fully recover, but now I knew I would have the strength to make this
I realised that I would live to see another day and suddenly, the invisible weight that had been hovering over my shoulders seemed to float away. My heart settled down into
A significant experience that has a meaning to me was when I moved to Atlanta, Georgia. Moving from Dayton, Ohio to Atlanta, Georgia had the biggest impact on my life, because I know, from what others experience, when moving to a whole other state, you have to step out of your comfort zone. You have to leave your family behind and you also have to leave your old friends behind and try to make new friends. Moving to another state, it’s like starting a new life. No one knows you or your past, so it's all about your future now.
Descriptive On my way down to Eastman, Wisconsin to pick up my step-child. I left home at four A.M. I the morning. As I crossed the inter-state in Tomah, Wisconsin. I notice my engine roaring like a lion up the hills and purring like a kitten down the other side.
The summer of August 2014, my immediate family and I packed up and went to Ocean City. We stayed over for one night. Our commute was a little congested moreover, we were enjoying the sites. We stop at Royal Farms and brought chicken and fries. When we arrived in Ocean City we unpacked everything into the hotel.
Age 4 The screams became louder as I hid under my covers. My tears had soaked my face as the noise got closer. I could hear the gruesome noise of the cries of someone out in the hall.
I went over to visit one weekend I drove my new car it wasn't new but it was like the oldsmobile it wasn't perfect but i bought it by myself so i really liked it, well at the time my mother's husband backed into it and crushed the door and I was pretty mad about it but i cooled off i knew insurance would pay for it
Once again, we proceeded with our journey down to New Orleans. The bus was working better than ever (minus the bumper falling off and us running it over). Before we stopped for lunch, we drove for a couple more hours. At this time, we were in Texas. Everyone was happy to get off the bus and stretch their legs and
Once I saw that most the struggles were coming from my negative attitude, my outlook on life was completely changed, and my faith was stronger than ever
But knowing I have to push through it and find a way to overcome this challenge that has been placed upon me. Needing to look up to other people on how they go through them problems. Seeing my mom on how she pushed forward and just didn’t let the problems or challenges bring her down made me think. Think on how I could take care of my challenge, on how I could handle the challenge that I needed to overcome. I just knew I had to keep my chin up and to not have anything that I double thought get at me.
The roads became more broken down. Suddenly the beeping of the cars startled my thoughts and my world unfroze. I felt the droplets accumulating under my eyes. Tears began rolling down my face. It was at that moment that I realized how honored I was to have everything
Suicidal thoughts and oppression weighed me down. “Then God smiled, And the light broke, And the darkness rolled up on one side, And the light stood shining on the other..” When I looked ahead of me, I saw the Bible and opened it up to Isaiah 43:2. God spoke to me and said, “Andrea, no matter what obstacle is thrown in your way, I am with you.” That was the moment that the creation of a new me was formed.
The drive was one hour long and right before we got there my family ate at Firehouse Subs. For the first time in a long time, I savored every single bite of my sandwich. After that we continued driving and arrived and the camp. As we parked on the gravel we were greeted by a muscular, bearded man named Bart. Bart one of the camp staff members and was a fun guy to hang out with.
Over the summer, in August, I traveled to California by myself. About a week later, my brother (Austin) came by himself and a couple days after, my cousin Joseph flew over as well. We stayed at my aunt and uncle’s penthouse in downtown Los Angeles. Then on Saturday morning we set off to San Francisco in a rental car for 5 and half hours. The ride was super long but we had some beautiful sights to watch as we drove by on the warm pleasant day.
Ever been lost in the world and going through the motions very day? This was me a little less than a year ago. After struggling with life and always feeling empty for so many years, my moment occurred, and it altered my life forever. It all made sense to me, and things began to come together. The defining moment in my life was getting baptized and accepting the Lord as my savior, and many factors contributed baptism and acceptance.
It was a bleak and humid saturday as we drove down the highway bored out of our minds, I blankly started out of the window, sulking as everything that we once did that made us happy now brought us sorrow and despair. Just as I was letting out my final sigh, preparing to sleep through the rest of the trip, I was blinded by these brilliant shades of blue, red, and green. It was so vibrant and true like a rainbow after a summer storm, The bustle of this event is what caught my attention the most but, I don’t think any of us minded. For the first time in weeks since...the accident, that we have all genuinely smiled. My father parked the car and me and….well no one anymore but, I was running and running, looking at all the carnies and vendors as
