Why am I here?

One of the questions I have been asking myself lately, is as suggested in the title: "Why am I here?". Here, in this case, means Dayton, OH... thousands and thousands of miles away from home, with very little hope of ever going back... I feel like every effort I have made to leave this town has been in vain, which is part of the reasons why I have decided to take a step back, and not necessarily think of being in Dayton as a major set back.

I have some wonderful memories here, and I have to admit that I am more of a small town kind of gal. I like New York or Vegas for a week, but I think I would be a little overwhelmed if I ever had to live in one of these cities... maybe DC would work. As this year has gone by (what a year it has been so far!), I am getting more and more convinced that God wanted me to reconnect with Him, here in Dayton, through the Dayton Vineyard. A series of very fortunate events have brought me back to church after years of thinking that I could do it all by myself. I have to say, it was not really working out too well...

Needless to say that now the question is not so much "When am I going to get out of Dayton???", but rather "I wonder what else I can do while I am still in Dayton??"

Thank you God, for not giving up on me.
