Fedeli Viaggio...: That big ole' thing called Faith!

My friend/roommate Jenny and I

So the church hunt continues tomorrow! Hopefully (by the looks of what I've read online about this one) it'll be a success tomorrow. It's been a lot more difficult to find a good church where we (my friend/roommate Jenny and I) feel we could attend and get involved. So far the churches we've tried have been too small with no fellowship opportunites, too traditional for our liking or unforntunately just a little weird. Anyways, I'm just hoping and praying that God leads us to the right place.

It seems like putting my faith in Him is the majority of what I've got going on for me right now. I'm beyond thankful that God's providing for me and taking care of me. And at the same time, hours at work have been becoming slimmer, therefore stressing me out a bit more than I would like. I know stress... we're friends from way back in the days of what felt like a billion classes and hours at work back home. But it's a completely different story when you're having to make sure you're taking care of your bills, rent, food, etc. All the little things that were just there for longest time. Food magically appeared in the fridge once a week or so. Nope not here. All of a sudden, I have to go to the store, spend the money I earned and buy things that I need... not just what I "want." So I guess this is life's way of saying "Welcome to being an adult!!" I cannot lie... so far it kinda sucks. I think what's made it the most difficult is that I'm doing all of this away from the comfort and support of having my family and friends around. I'm crazy blessed and thankful that I have as great of a friend and roommate to live with! But I also miss my other friends. The ones whose arms I can fall into and cry when life got all sucky and hard. The ones who doing all the simple stuff with all day made for the best days ever. I miss the presence of my parents, sister, niece and nephews joking around and almost always making me feel better.

But, this is all part of chasing the dream. This all part of that "faith" I knew I'd have to make stronger than ever when I got here. I need to start waking up everyday reminded that I'm on the path of where I want my dreams to come true. I know I don't know all that's in my future, but I know God's plans exede what I can see right now in front me in the present.
