I know, I know...I haven't posted any new pictures since I've moved here. Something I will work on remedying!
September has been brutally hard, and God has been sufficiently loving. "When I am weak, then I am strong"...a verse I am clinging to these days. A mantra that I run in the back of my head when work is hard, or when the homesickness is hitting me. I have received letters, texts and face book posts just when I needed them to keep me going, and I have the promise of Heaven to push for...
But this month has been really hard!
I hate my job, I miss my family and I have felt very isolated and alone. A few things happened in the place I left and has left me with less support than I anticipated and my work hours have left me out of quite a bit of fellowship and fun events. I miss Japan and still don't know how/what to do about it. Also, work is taxing taking a lot out of me emotionally and I am driving about 9-10 hours a week just to and from work (which means great pay checks...but that's not all it's cracked up to be).
I am prayerful that I will have a new job soon, or can find a way not to be so hurt by my current one. Please join me in praying for that! And tune in next month to see if God answered prayers about job/loneliness things and to hear about my trip back to see friends and family for a wedding...I am so excited!.
