I am embarking on a wacky and wild new life journey that will take me from my natal home to the home my heart has always belonged to (southeast Arizona). As the great John Francis Daley says in his song "Neverending Summer" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQwLw4rjmlw), "I ignored what they all said/And I packed my bags instead/Traveled to a brand new state/Where I relied on only faith." Those words could not be truer of anyone else than me.
Many people may not get this transition; many people may not agree with it. At this point, while duly noted, the opinions of those people are not relevant to me. You need to get out there and do your thing--do what you have been called to do. It may be difficult--it may be a lengthy and trying process, but you need to stick to your dreams. Please see this awesome speech by one of my very good friends (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7q_MZvdaq8) or listen this sermon, "Finding a Strategic Plan" (http://www.newventure.org/dev/media/messages/audio/2010/01032010_1030_64K.mp3; my apologies for the very low volume of the latter) for much better explanations of this process than I could ever deliver myself.
Until we talk again, wish me luck on this quest of mine. May the Lord keep you all safe and guide and direct me.
Your friend,
Butterfly Aliyah
