3 weeks in...

Hello again,
As I promised in my last blog update, I would continue posting here even when I was home, so....

It's official, today I have been home already for 3 weeks! In a way, that makes me sad. But considering how quickly that time passed, I must be pretty busy!
In the last post, I had also promised to tell about moving... Now that is a big job!
The day after arriving home (even after getting home at 3:30am), I was quick to start unpacking all of my stuff because I wanted to get settled in as soon as possible. Well, I just became exhausted after that, and I guess there is STILL stuff that I am organizing, 3 weeks later! It is definitely a lot of work moving stuff around to just how I like it, organizing myself in the city (doing things like changing my address and mailing address- just to name a few things), and then seeing people! There is a lot to catch up on when one hasn't seen a friend for 6 months. I still feel like there are a lot of people I need to meet and catch up with, but it is really great to see them all. I guess, I can be thankful I don't have a job yet, so that I have time to see people! Though, I have tried (a little...) to get a job. I've handed out THREE resumes! But I think it needs more than that. You would think that between not having a job and living on my own, I would have the time to get everything that I want to done. It hasn't happened yet. But I guess I could always have a long list of things to do. I've actually been feeling in the past days that I need to intentionally set time aside to be quiet.
Well, that's one good thing about living alone, it's always quiet here!
Yes, sometimes I do feel lonely in this living situation, but it definitely already challenging me to rely more and more God and be comfortable with his presence and his presence alone.

Another good thing:
I have been a lot of places on my own lately (for example, sitting in church before the service starts) and it is so neat how many people I have met! Rather than sitting with a sister, I am free to talk with others, or they start conversations with me. Even in Tim Hortons, when I stand in line and I am on my own, I've had many more conversations with strangers. It is very cool!

I sure hope that these stories don't get boring because I'm not travelling anymore.
I think I can usually find something pretty interesting (at least for me it is!) to write about!

Gute nacht!
Christi
