Hi everyone
Whoever is reading this... welcome to my blog!
Just to let y'all know, I have had it for a while, but I've never been good at writing or keeping it updated. I also always thought, "Why write if no one is going to read it?". But now that I am giving this link to several people, I have incentive to write. Not to mention the fact that I'm away from Kamloops for 6 months and it's a great way to keep everyone updated!
As well... It is a weird thing for me to type, and then think about people who are reading this. Especially because when I finally get my thoughts typed down (or on paper), I look back only to find that my thoughts wander, a lot! Putting thoughts down in hard copy form is a really great outlet for my emotions and a way of organizing the many things I 'over-think'. So, this blog usually tends to get deep quite quickly.
Ok, that was a pre-cautionary warning.
Anyways...
I am now in Nova Scotia with my sister Alex and her husband Tim! I am very happy to be here! On my way to Austria, I decided to see if it would work to stop for 9 days in the East Coast. The one-way flight ended up being very cheap, and I am here visiting my family- praise the Lord! My sister and brother-in-law moved here last February and have come to Kamloops twice already, but I had not been out to visit them. They are also unsure right now if the move will be permanent or temporary, so this could possibly be the only chance to come over!
We arrived yesterday during the day, after a 14 hour travel time right through the night. We all made it safely and on time, but it was exhausting skipping a night of sleep! We arrived in Nova Scotia at noon so still had the whole day to be 'awake' for- but relaxed and enjoyed the company of family!
After 12 hours of sleep during the night, this morning we got to go to church. It is a very small church but the congregation is so connected! The church family is amazing, and the service was very good. I would just ask for prayer for the church because it is going through some trying times and facing some very tough issues. The church is small, but it provided support to so many people and it would be devastating to see it go- if it came to that. Please pray for God to work here.
Other than that, we had a very good first two days in Nova Scotia, and I'm looking forward to the next 3, in which we'll be travelling and exploring the scenic Cabot Trail. Look it up!
I will probably write again after the trip, so have a good start to the week! I will be praying for all back home!
