here i am, 3 weeks into my adventure of living in atlanta. i spent a couple of days in louisville with my bestie and her husband this last week, and it was very refreshing to be around people i know.

its been really hard and lonely the past few weeks, and i've been kind of discouraged by the fact that i havent been able to find a job. i'm going to have to make some hard decisions in the next few weeks of whether or not to move back to california. i really feel that the lord has led me here, and if he wants me to remain he will provide a way for me to do so.

things that i would love some prayer for:

* a job
* community (i'm trying to get plugged in at a new church, and its sadly harder than i thought it would be)
* diligence in seeking out the last two prayer requests. my fear is that i'm becoming afraid, and in that, stagnant in my efforts.
* clarity and wisdom as i make different decisions regarding employment, housing, and direction.
* that i will continually be seeking the lord in his will for my time here, and that he will be my comforter and my strength.

thanks for being supportive of me in this venture, and partnering with me in prayer!

fun things that have happened so far in moving here:
-met some nice people (Daphne, Kim and Melinda) who are very kind and i got to have dinner with them a couple weeks ago
-went to Louisville with my friend Dave and got to hang out with Kelsey, Daniel, Melissa and their parents
-got offered a volunteer position with International Crisis Aid here in Atlanta (haven't accepted it yet though, i still have that pesky employment/transportation thing to work through)
-for the first time in my life i got offered candy by a stranger at a MARTA station...i said no. but it went in the books as a first.

another update will be posted as soon as i have something to share :)
