A New Season

It looks and feels like a new season is setting in! Life over the past month has been really great, but crazy and stressful as well! At the beginning of August I had my relatives from Austria come to Canada for two whole weeks! It was wonderful! With 10+ days of NO work for me, we toured the Candian Rocky Mountains, went white water rafting and then came home and left again for a quick trip to the hot springs in Nakusp! It was a really great time, but since after the family left, it seems that I have been running and haven't stopped for a breath since.
With the moving of my family, and the house that is hopefully selling soon,  I have started to pack everything in this house. I have been throwing a lot of way, and we have a very large "donate" pile! It is great to get rid of so much stuff!
And...
I am going to Austria on Friday (sept 14th!) So not only am I packing the house, but having to sort my belongings into a pile for the six months that I will be gone! Why am I going to Austria?
Well, I applied and got accept to doing the Study Abroad program through Thompson River's University. So I have the oppurtunity to go to Austria for the next 6 months (one semester) to study social work! It is a wonderful oppurtunity, but with everything that is going on, I am stressing.
As I tend to do a lot, I worry about everything that needs to get done, whether or not it will get done, and when I have time to do it all!
So, with 4 days left until I leave, I am balancing seeing people, packing, and getting everything else done!

But I know that it will all get done, because it always done when we put our trust in God. Suddenly the seemingly important things fade into the background!

Talk to y'all soon I'm sure!
