Changes in Italy
Current mood: tired
Category: Life

Well there have been quite a few changes in Italy.

When we first got here we found a really good church and I have been going a lot more latley and trying to get more involved.

Bobbie finally got here and we spend most of our time together. Latley that time involves playing the Sims games on my Xbox but we have a lot of fun and her company is great and really makes the time pass by.

The weather is changing. Its getting cold and the mountain tops are covered with snow... its so beautiful.

I am really starting to get in the festive mood. I have been trying to decorate for autumn and can't wait to decorate for Christmas.

Last Friday I met an awesome lady! Her name is Nita. She has lived across the street from me for 4 months and I just met her. She contacted the Pastor at the church I got to and they contacted me and thought maybe we could meet since we live so close. It was a pretty scary thing for me going over to someones house that I didn't know and introducing myself, but God gave me the courage and I am so glad I did!!

A friend called me today to tell me that she just found out she is going to have a baby, I was so excited! I keep thinking about it. Babies are awesome and I can't wait to have my own.
My dog and cat will be here soon and my grandparents are brining them, its going to be fun to be able to show them around.

The entire year that Sergio was in Korea my whole family was praying that somehow we would be able to stay stateside, but God had other plans. You know sometimes we think we know but really its not our choice were God plants us, we think we made the decision but after all its Him that gave us our plan.

So I am realizing more and more why God planted us here. Finding this church, finding these friends, I just know that this is His plan and I have to be happy that I am seeing Him work in my life so soon. We have been here almost 5 months now and everything is becoming so clear to me. I know the time will pass fast and in the end I will be very thankful for this expierence and all the people I have met along the way. So if God uses me to reach just one person, I will know this whole experience was worth it.

Keep the faith, stay strong and keep your eyes on the sky. God will provide and God is good. ~ This is for you Nita.
