Greetings everyone! Well, the last time I wrote God was teaching me trust. And again He proved trustworthy. DUH! Nate! It's amazing how I forget that. It's seems like He provides, sometimes how I don't expect, but He provides and then next time I come across a situation and I forget........... And then God provides again, again not always how I expect but He provides, and then I forget..... Well you get the picture. Well, a few things. In one of my first blogs when moving to San Fran to join this crazy community out here, I mentioned that it was hard to move on away from my family and friends. Well, although, I miss them greatly and think and talk to them often, God has of course provided new friends and family here at Church of the Sojourners. I was feeling a little, well, ok a lot home sick on my b-day, but I ended up having a great time! Of course! Went to a movie including a great time pushing our car down a busy street in San Fran trying to get to start after having left the lights on!! Wee, the car stories never end. Some folks had a bbq for me and ended the day sitting around a fire with a nice beverage and great convo! For those of you that know me well, it couldn't have had a better ending. So, God has provided family. I will write more on this later, but we have started small groups here which will focus on confession and forgiving, time for healing, and praying for one another. We just started them. Should be an intense but a good and challenging time together.
Well, I HAVE A JOB!! Again God provides. Well, since my car has died, and not having much money, God has provided a job where I get FREE transportation! I can a free shuttle from San Fran General, just a few blocks from my house, to UCSF Medical Center, just a few blocks from my new job!! I will be working as 1-to-1 aide at the Oakes Children's Center, a center for emotionally and behaviorally disturbed kids. It should be a great job. Seems like a great place where kids are really loved and encouraged. So..... God again provides!! DUH! NATE!! Someday I will learn!!
On a side note, those of who have not become Over The Rhine fans yet, well here is your chance. If you don't become fans after listening to this, then I don't know what well. This is OTR at their best. I get to seem them in a couple weeks here in San Fran!! I can barely stand it! It's too far away!! Anyway, find a loved one, a glass of wine or other favorite beverage and listen to this!! Please give them a try. ; ) You won't regret it!!
