We’re Transferring to Austin! : StyleWise


Properly, I received a job. We’re transferring to Austin in a pair weeks!

These final ~two years in Houston have been a few of the hardest and finest years of my grownup life. It’s arduous to explain what it’s prefer to enter a profession/ministry that’s so demanding and but so wealthy. Two sides of the identical coin, actually.

I used to be on a two-year contract right here in Houston, and it was inevitable that I would wish to depart my place. However it’s definitely not simple to depart.

This time has been marked by transition, sickness (I had Covid thrice and Daniel recovered from a critical hospitalization), and painful discernment. However it has additionally introduced delight, rootedness, and speedy abilities growth. I’m deeply grateful for the neighborhood we discovered right here, and relieved that quite a lot of {our relationships} will have the ability to endure since we’re staying in Texas.

As for staying in Texas, I think about a few of you’re shocked. I definitely was. However I’ve come to like the individuals right here and I can’t quit on them. There may be work to be achieved and there are individuals committing their lives to creating issues higher. I by no means query whether or not my advocacy and ministry matter right here. They unquestioningly do.

Daniel and I’ll miss the scrumptious and diversified meals, and the cultural, racial, and non secular variety of Houston. However we gained’t miss the horrible infrastructure! I’m wanting ahead to a extra walkable neighborhood, proximity to nature, and a extra eco-conscious neighborhood.

However don’t fear, Houstonians. I’ll nonetheless have fun 713 Day from afar.

I’ll (most likely) share extra about my new place after the transfer. Within the meantime, any Austin recs?
