Well, it is another week! Donovan and I had a delightful weekend (I love weekends with my sweetie!) We hung around the flat, went for a walk in the rain to Tesco and grabbed some groceries, I had a Skype date with my amazing sister-in-law Sarah, we slept in on Sunday and missed the bus to church (ooooops), made pancakes, watched "The Tudors" and just had a wonderful weekend!
Last week I buckled down and got my eyebrows waxed (so over due) and I finally talked to a human being. I have never enjoyed laying down on that table and being plucked at so much! I don't think I have talked that much in 20 minutes either. I thoroughly enjoyed talking to a woman around the same age. I also finished typing up my CV (resume) and now I just have to get it printed off and actually go and apply for some jobs! I am praying for courage for this. A little nervous, but I know that God has a job in store for me and it is in His hands.
This past week Donovan and I have started a Bible Study on the Book of James that we do in the mornings and the second study was on James 1:5-8 and it is talking about asking God for wisdom in all occasions and in all decisions, not just the ones that are hard, but in all. So, I am asking for wisdom in how to spend my days. Instead of doing the bare minimum to make me feel not guilty for not getting anything done, when there really is so much more to do, I am taking it to the next level. I am going to start back up with my Yoga, I plan on taking a walk every day, keep this house clean, not just presentable. I want to find that joyful Beth again. Not the one who takes a look at a bottle of Olive Oil and starts crying because it is the same Olive Oil I used at home, or other sappy things like that. Sappy is good....but not for every second of every day. This is pretty much just me rambling...but it makes sense to me! :) It is all part of the crazy journey that God has mapped out for me.
We still don't know what school Donovan is going to be at in April, so please keep praying for us in that. We are hoping it is going to be in Northampton still because our lease isn't up until June. So, as always, your prayers are much appreicated!!!
The other wonderful thing is...(and I won't elborate too much...) Spring is here! We saw Pussy Willow's the other day! The birds are chirping even more and there are buds on the trees! But, I'm going to stop because I don't want to be shot in my sleep...but it I was it would mean that people were coming over here to see me! lol. Thats me, Miss Positivity!
Love you all very much.
Hi Beth! I can't imagine the homesickiness waves that must sometimes crash down on you. You must be very grateful for the internet! :) Good luck finding a job... I think it'll be good for you to be out and about, and maybe you'll meet more people your own age who will become bosom buddies. :D enjoy your spring weather - lucky duck!
