The Art of Moving

Recently, I moved halfway across the country for my job. I'm originally from the greater Seattle, WA area. And now I am in Northern Virginia near DC.
When I was deciding to move to Virginia, I didn't give much thought to it. I was living out of hotels in Virginia. I was always jet-lagged. I was a floating nomad. I DESPERATELY NEEDED TO SETTLE DOWN. So I found an ad for a room and moved in after 2 weeks.
I bought a car since then. My first car under MY NAME! I bought furnitures to decorate my room. I have a church I'm regularly attending. I met someone here in Virginia which has been going great.
However, despite all these events, I do feel lonely at times. I miss my family and friends. There isn't a single person who I can just hit up to go eat dinner with except my boyfriend. I was sick the other day and no one who cared about me could come to check up on me except through text messages.
Moving away can be stressful, but I don't regret it. I can't go back. I don't really have much planned for Seattle anymore. My life is here now. I need to keep pushing through. It's only been three months since I moved. I haven't even really given Virginia much chance to show what it's got.
I don't know why God has placed me here but I know His plans are greater than mine.
