Life is Changing

Matthew and I feel like we're in a phase of life that is bringing rapid change. There are times on this roller coaster ride when I feel like I'm just clinging to the bars holding me in with white knuckles. At other times, I feel like I'm carefree, enjoying the ride, and just flinging my arms up in the air as we go down the next big plunge.

A little over a month ago we started looking for a house. Never in a million years when we first moved to CA did we ever think we would be in this position...and that's not to say that I'm thankful for how the economy has affected the housing market...but here we are house hunting, and it's kind of crazy! We're preparing to put in our first offer this afternoon (white knuckles!)

I also started my practicum this week. I saw my first two clients, and co-lead an outreach support group. For the last year and a half this seemed so far off in the distance, and now that it is here I'm kind of just taking it all in. Most of what I did this week involved observing the intake process, but also connecting and building a relationship with the clients who I will eventually see individually. But I am excited and at peace because I already feel comfortable and at ease in this setting. Where I expected to be clinging with white knuckles, I am throwing my arms up in the air! There is change happening in me as I am molded in this area, and finally finding my footing in the work that I feel God has called me to do.

I hope that you are blessed with a restful weekend!
