Update on my journey (following His steps):
Settling into my job well (taking lead, and having guidance). I have been tearful, feeling lonely, and working through some pain, but the Spirit is alive and well, and really delving into the singleness and connecting with Jesus on a more intimate level, personally!
I am actively trying to get connected into a local church as of now :) it felt like I was holding my breath without the regular fellowship... (praise Jesus 🙏🏻).
It is a blessing to have a move during this Christmas season. Firstly, IT's MY FAVOURITE SEASON!! Lights, nativity scenes, I can laugh and sing to myself, and if people look at me, I just say, 'Tis' the season,' and it doesn't seem as weird then haha!! Secondly, lots of events, carols, church services, parades... so making use of the opportunity to connect... laugh, jingle, and jolly-about the place. Pray for a home group, and more opportunity to fellowship... I know God's plan for me here is something special, so having patience, perseverance, and welcoming in with willingness to humbled beginnings for this next chapter of my life. Waiting for that 'home' feeling... I know it is here... 💞🤸♂️
I have been invited to a Christmas dinner, and going to help sell Christmas trees this coming weekend (looking forward to the hope of buying my own someday); drink cider with some older ladies, and there kids, and we're going to discuss starting our own bible study locally. So far it's me, and two 50yr olds haha... its precious to me... they are such young at heart souls, and meet with my old soul with that pure childlike enthusiasm. It is an answer to prayer - to find Titus 2 mentors, which I asked one of them... she hugged me! We worshiped!
Anyway, update! P.s thank you guys for the messages, phone calls, and continual prayers... miss you all!
Your sister,
With love and joy,
