Only 16 days??

Wow. We're seriously moving in 16 days. Last time I posted or "blogged" (my first post) we were 137 days out, but now just 16. Its crazy how time flies.(I apologize that I haven't blogged in a while, but I didn't feel I had anything important to say.) 

Anyways, I guess I need to back track a little bit. First off, it is the LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL!!! Summer is just around the corner (along with the move) and I gotta say, i'm pumped. Yes, i'm going to miss Milton High School and everyone in it, Cirque, etc., but everyone is ready for summer when it comes around. These next 2 weeks are going to be great. They're filled with celebration for Spencer's graduation/18th birthday and my sweet 16 with our friends and family. I'm so glad were gonna have a great coupe weeks because the move IS coming up. 

So last time I wrote I talked about how I felt about the move and My perspective, but over the past couple of months it has changed a little bit. Before I wasn't "excited" about moving, but now i'm proud to say I really am excited. First off, I have 3 little brothers and 2 little sisters I get to meet when I get there and I seriously can't wait. (: Im also really looking forward to my new school, Waterford, which i'll be attending starting June 6th. Its year around schooling (January-December) so i'll be jumping half way into 10th grade (other wise known at "form 4" there I believe). I get the months of April, August, & December off, so I guess thats cool. Oh, and Wednesdays are half days so thats awesome. I've started talking to some of the students that go there through Facebook and they seem really cool. 

Next, I'm excited for the 4 wheelers, our house, the water fall, getting PUPPIES, my pet ostrich, being able to play with the babies, playing guitar out on the patio, staying in a house instead of a hotel room for a whole summer, meeting new people etc etc etc. It's gonna be amazing. I've kind of readjusted to this whole move. Going all in and not against it (not that I was against it before) is making it just seem so much better and is making everyone at peace with it. 

We moved here to Atlanta Georgia 5 1/2 years ago and i've made so many great memories & incredible friends that I hope to stay friends with for a long time, but i'm ready for a change. Moving WITH my parents isn't too "hard" because I don't necessarily have a choice, but if I were in their position of having a choice, I gotta say it would haveI been a whole lot harder. I'm so proud of them for actually stepping up and following what God has asked them to do with their lives because if they hadn't of been obedient little Joshua and the gang might not of been alive today, many people's lives wouldn't have been changed, and I wouldn't have been the person I am today. I hope that one day i'll shine even a flicker of the light they do every day, and that I have the strength and courage to do what God asks of me. 

Even though at this moment everything is going pretty well, I know it's going to get harder so prayers would be awesome. I am so ready to move. 16 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  1. Dear Chloe,

    I've met you a couple of times on trips to Swaziland (just one of hundreds you've met), but I just wanted to encourage you... You ARE a light, and like your mom and dad, you shine brightly for His glory! It is clear from your willing heart that you love and serve a very special God and I know He must be smiling at how you are stepping out in faith, with such a wonderful attitude. You are truly a picture of what it means to be a 'living sacrifice!.' (Romans 12:1) May God bless you and your family... Sharla Miller
