| | | | Adulthood... Did I miss this course in college? | | | We are currently in the midst of transition. Full on. Culture shock. Loneliness. Future thinking and having difficulty being 'present'. You name it. We have it.
Transition isn't a foriegn concept to me. As a matter of fact being out of transition is perhaps more unknown, but this move has been particularly difficult. | | | I think we would identity in between stages 2 and 3 right now (click on the picture to see it on the website).
If you are anything like me, as soon as you see the "Please Pray" box in an email you quickly look it over for any interesting news and then promptly forget to ever pray for them. So I'll simply say what we are hoping for:
- Valuable Time Together (as I work 1-9pm and he works 6pm-2am)
- Friends. (as everyone in our demographic seems to have moved to Alberta)
- Wisdom in future decisions (how long do we stay? Where do we go next?)
- God-Glorifying Work Ethic
| | | The "Stuff" (You really wanted to know)
We are both employed full-time!
Well, sort of. I am now a home care worker for seniors, as well as a cook for a local restaurant, and doing marketing consulting for Andrew's company on a need basis. He is flying when flights are available and also beginning a job as a security officer at a race track and casino. We have 'sleep' scheduled in on our shared calendar. No joke.
We have a fully furnished apartment!
The church (full of wonderful individuals) graciously donated us lots of items. Between them and kijiji our apartment is full and ready for you to visit!
| | | All of that to say, we could use some encouragement. We know God has placed us here for a time, and that these things take time. It takes time to build relationships, and it takes time to be financially stable enough to be picky about jobs.
Praise the Father, Son and Holy Spirit that He has provided us with health, secure jobs, a church that is willing to invest in us, and flying for Andrew.
Look at me getting all practiced to write missionary newsletters... | | | | | | | | | |
