Happy Easter Update
HI all! Blessings to you this glorious Easter morning! I’m in Gainesville, Georgia this morning with a good friend and his family. We just went to sunrise service – it was really nice even though it was overcast and windy. Pretty chilly too for down here. But God was there with us and you could feel his presence among us. It was awesome!
Quick update for all of you….
I have moved from Marietta, Georgia to Roswell, Georgia – the next town east. I am going to be house/dog/cat sitting for a friend there for the month of April, and he has let me move in early to save on rent. It’s a large house and I now have a room and a loft and my own bathroom! Yay! The loft has a great skylight in it in the sloped ceiling – about 4 feet square, and I can watch the stars at night, the lightening and thunderstorms, the trees swaying in the morning breeze. Its really beautiful!
The commute to work every day is now 25 minutes instead of 5, but for most other things this location is much more convenient. I am closer to North Point church, my friend Neil and my friend David in Gainesville. It is about 5 minutes from a major highway (400 and Holcomb Bridge) so that is very convenient too. Still about 30 minutes to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens (still my favorite place here in Atlanta).
BIG NEWS! Mom is FINALY coming to visit! I am so excited! She gets in the night of April 1st and leaves the morning of April 11th. The family I work for will be out of town on spring break that week, so I will have time to spend with her. It should be great! There are so many of you I would like her to meet, I’m trying to put together an open house type thing on Sunday the 10th. Nothing is confirmed yet – I will let you know this coming week any details if we can make it happen. And if you have any great ideas of things we should do while she is here please feel free to share. We have quite a list already, but I’m sure there are things we can add!
As for my plans for the future….I am expecting to head back to Alaska at the end of May this year, and return to Georgia mid-September. The gal renting my house has expressed an interest in extending her lease so that is an answer to prayer (mine anyway – mom has been praying I’d have no renter and have to stay in Alaska…heehee). I am hoping to not work or only work part time this summer and spend as much time as possible with my family and especially my niece! Also, at least one friend from Georgia is coming up to visit this summer so I get to be a tour guide too! I’m very excited to share Alaska with people!
God continues to teach me and stretch me and grow me, sometimes pulling me through kicking and screaming. He is opening my heart to so many things I never thought I would consider, most of which are scary and uncertain. I will expound more on these things as time goes on. Know that I continue to covet your prayers and thank you for any and all you lift up on behalf of me.
