Hello again!

Well, I know where I am moving now: I will be heading to Tacoma this Sunday, where I will dwell with my lovely sister, at least for the time being. I am still looking for work, but I think the sort of jobs I'm looking for will be easier to get in person, so I have more confidence about finding something there. Also, my wonderful cousin has been helping me A Lot with my resume, etc. and I am ready to keep trying. I am really excited to be coming back up to somewhere cooler (!) but most of all I'm looking forward to seeing all of you lovely people who live up north. I know I haven't written much while I've been down here, but I've been really busy and had pretty limited internet access, so sorry about that. You haven't missed out on too much, just office work and 50 crazy grade schoolers clambering for more exciting bible lessons (alas, I do not know how to juggle).

My only real fear about moving again is that I always seem to say "this time" I'll make it. This time I'll get a job I can live with, that pays me in real money. This time I'll stay in one place and won't have to move again. This time I'll succeed. So far, "this time" hasn't worked out. Please God, let this time be it. Please help me to find a job so that I can move forward in my life. Help me to find a way to stay in one city for the next year+. Please God, I don't want to feel that I am running away again.

Peace and blessings, and Puget Sound I love you!

Happy Divine Mercy Sunday!

Hello lovely people. Thanks for all your love and support. Life has been, as per usual, rather mad lately. I appreciate that you are all in my life. I just want you to know that.

I wrote something a bit longer on facebook recently, which you can read here if you like.

I am gearing up for an move to an unknown location for the unknown work that the Lord will provide, and I am am thinking about how wonderful his Divine Mercy is. It is an ocean in which we can all happily drown. Let us not despair but have hope, hope in our Lord and his great rewards. Today is a day for trusting completely. For moving out of the shadows of despair into the light of truth and love, which is so much greater than the world we can see and imagine.

Thank you people for being as Christ to me, for showing me that there is good in the world, that we can love courageously in this culture of death, and that we can just trust in our sweet Jesus.

Amen.
