If you feel that is sudden, you are right.
We have been interested in, at points in the last 12 years even yearned for such a time as we might be able to be in Tokyo.
And then, I (switching to the singular voice since I can't speak for Aogu on this) quite recently felt genuinely confident that I was content to live wherever.
Skokie? Sure.
Tokyo? Also fine.
Dhubai? Much more remote and unlikely, but still fine.
How did I reach a point where I was truly at peace with leaving or staying, after years of agonizing? I think the answer is this: I did not "reach" any point at all; rather, God brought me there.
And I am grateful! Since I was truly delivered from the Tokyo-longing, now having it come back around to me feels like a gift, and I am thoroughly confident nothing I did made this happen, but rather God did it all.
Good-bye parties and packing. Some very interesting looking chocolates called Anna Shea. These are some of the things that come with an international move. The later from a good friend; she's so thoughtful and the chocolates look amazing!
Better go pack....
