July 2011

So here's July in a nutshell...

The beginning of July was spent travelling to the church I'm joining and leaving my car there. I was able to stay for the week of the 4th and celebrated in true Rock style with a BBQ. It was fun to get to reconnect with the Rockers and get to know the saints out there a little better. As soon as I got back, I went to Nebraska to visit my grandma. We stayed one night, and I was so glad to have had some time to catch up with her.

I also spent the beginning of July trying to find a way back to Japan. Sadly, none presented itself and I have to trust that for now, there are good reasons why I am not going back. And one of those reasons is that I get to pray for it and would like to ask you to join me too.

That said, the rest of the month has been a blur of reading, relaxing, cleaning, packing, GETTING TO WORK PART TIME (which I prayed for and God answered!) and saying goodbyes. I also got to welcome my new nephew to the world and hold him a bit.

My heart is heavy leaving all these people here that I love and excited to finally be able to dive all the way into a ministry, as I've been pulling out of one to transition.

I have no idea what the future holds...but I know that God called me and I will be blessed for obeying...tune in next month to see how He's blessed...

Please pray for the blessing of a job, and more permanent housing...as well as delightful surprises...
