Well the rumors are true. Familia Pina- Anderson is packing up and going home…. to Colorado that is. I am just as shocked as anyone else at this point. It all happened so fast it’s surreal. As I stated in my previous post, I had been praying for quite awhile as to what we should do, what direction we should go and when it was going to happen. If I wasn’t clear enough before, I got my long awaited answer upon my throne, my bike. I do not question at all the authenticity of this divine intervention. And since that point I have not faltered in willingness to follow orders. Now to dispell any, uh, how shall I say…. haters out there who don’t believe in getting answers from none other then yourselves, let me just explain how it  happened to me. I have yet to hear some loud booming voice saying “Jasmine, this is god, I’m here to tell you the answers you seek, you shall now go and……”  If that has happened to any of you than that’s freakin cool. I don’t doubt that god would take it upon himself to be that obvious if that were his will in order for that person to fully receive his message, yet I believe he created each and every one of us in such a unique way he expects us to use his guidance with our own intellect and go forth to seek, find or do on our own. Jesus does not magically provide a magic carpet to take us from one place to the next. Just like your mama said, “god gave you two legs, use them”. I did hear a voice but it wasn’t literally, I didn’t actually hear it like I hear sound…..it was a direct thought rather that popped into my brain while I was ready, open and willing to receive it, then I understood. All this thought said was, “you can go home now, it’s time”. That moment was none other than extreme release and peace for me. I felt the biggest weight lift from my shoulders. Finally I had my answer and I knew what I needed to do. Mind you, this was just this monday……it is only now thursday, but in that time I have now found someone to purchase my rental properties and found someone to rent the home I now live in.

With the aid of my man upstairs and southwest airline ding fares, I was able to get flights to Denver for an awesome price. At the moment I have met with my lawyer to discuss a wrap around mortgage since I will owner financing my rental property. Now we must find someone to purchase our property management business. Any takers?

FYI- I am freakin scared!!! Actually I think my being scared  is an understatement.

So naturally we look to others for support, yesterday the support found me and I got a call from my dad.  You must first know my father has never been the type to share profound thought with me nor has he ever been a very verbal mushy feeling type of guy. None the less my dad gave me some words of wisdom and encouragement that set my whole being at ease and I knew that  not only was god continuing to work with my father but was using him to get a message to me and this is just another one of the millions of reasons I claim god as my savior.

Realistically no one really wants to move back in with their parents, I mean getting away from them was part of the reason we left in the first place. So to some of you we might seem like hypocrites, to me I see growth and I see humility which is something I have never been able to practice. Scratch that, we are all able to practice humility, we just choose not to because of this crazy little cancer called “pride”. The bible says, “When pride comes, then comes disgrace; but with the humble is wisdom.” (Proverbs 11:2 RSV)

So getting back to what I was saying, time and age changes everything and swallowing my pride has gotten a lot easier than it was three years ago. This is saying a lot coming from the queen of, “I have done nothing wrong, it is all your fault”.

In retrospect, I have not regretted my move to Texas, at all, not even a little bit. I found god, I found myself, I made some amazing friends, I’ve learned a lot of really crucial life lessons….but just like my message said……it’s time to go now and I’m ready. So in my perpetually happy sad state until it’s through and we are settled in back home, I’ll end with this…..movement, change and faith are absolutely necessary for the really good stuff to happen. I’m so excited to experience another one.
