God's provision

That first week of getting settled was tough. Yes, the house was coming together, but I was a bit discouraged. I didn't leave the house much, and I don't think the fumes really helped either! But last week, I saw God's provision and I am encouraged. Here are a few examples:

1. God provided a car. I realized that our place is a wee bit too far out from the university and I would need one. It is a 2000 audi (station wagon) that fell into my lap and was a great price. I don't know how to drive it yet (for it's manual). But I have a driving lesson on Wednesday... so watch out!

2. My room is going to be a great haven. see pics below.

3. I got a bank account! I couldn't believe how smooth this went.

4. I made a new friend, Lizzy, a gal whom I met at church. We went to coffee and hit it off!

5. I had coffee with my friend, Anna, who is a medic student. It was great to catch up with her! I look forward to doing that more.

6. I met a dentist at church who may be able to help me get a job. He also has some connections with dental students.

7. The house we are renting is not where we first desired to live. However, we realize it is God's providence that we are here. It is near a park and the pastor and others from the church live nearby. I am anticipating some ultimate frisbee games with students in the park. Oh yeah!
