This past few days have had moments of frustration and on
the flip side moments of utter refreshment. Sunday morning was refreshing because of the sermon Pastor
Mark gave. The topic was “Jesus
Loves Us” and while I could summarize it- it would just be to your best benefit
to listen to it.
Sunday evening I found out that I did not get the near by
nanny job. It has been frustrating
and disheartening to have so many interviews and no bites. This carried into my Monday as it
became hard for me to shake the disappointment of job hunting. I longed to be by my close friends and
family to just feel the sense of disappointment with me and then cheerfully
move on.
I finished all but the cover with illustrating and am more
than ready to see it completed in book form. This project has been refreshing for me as an artist. It has challenged me to make multiple
cohesive works (obviously it is a 33 page children’s book!) and allowed me to
dive into watercolor. I pursued
watercolor for a time in the past but not as a more mature artist- and I am
loving it!
Tuesday morning I was refreshed to have a long conversation
with a friend across the pond.
Molly and I became friends fast- which rarely happens for me- and then
quickly were thousands of miles apart.
We are both in the parts of the world we need to be- we just wish they
were the same parts. Though I must
say our friendship has joyfully remained and I am grateful for technology to
make that happen. It was great to
talk with her “face to face” and catch up with marriage, jobs, art, s’mores and
more!
Today Josh leaves for MN to be in a wedding of close
friends. It is frustrating to not
be going with him. It is hard to
believe it has been 5 months since I have been in my lovely home state of
MN…sigh…
prayers are welcome :)
