Tough Times
Sooo much has happened (and not happened) in the past two months (I can't believe it's already been 2 months) since I moved to Austin. I am still looking for a full-time job, so pray for me guys. Gap has mentioned a promotion, but we'll see if that happens. If not, then I need to get on the ball and start looking. I've kinda fallen into a mini depression being so away from everything familiar, but I think this is a good experience for me, and I know something good will come out of it. It just takes time. I think I've found a church home in Austin, called the Austin Stone. It is a lively, genuine church with a lot of real, young Christians who are really about Christ and not just fakin' it like alot of other young people. So I really like that about them. Singledom in a new city is sometimes harder to deal with than singledom in a familiar city, even though I have a close friend right by me. Times get tough, and sometimes I would just like a companion to come home to, cuddle with, and share my problems or life with. So I'm really trying to learn how to deal with that. Austin is a very beautiful city when you explore it's beauty behind all the cityscape. I'm still getting to know the city, and there's alot to get to know. I think these first few months will be a little tough, with me still trying to adjust to my new environment. I think if I had a full-time job, it would be much, much easier. But those are hard to come by as well. I have faith that things will get better. It will just take time. So I am off my depressing soap box. A few words of encouragement would be GREAT!

I came across your blog and just wanted to welcome you to Austin. I work at the Austin Stone and am so glad you've found a home here! I know it can be a big and intimidating place, and if you want, I'd love to meet up with you and connect you into community here. My email is lindsay@austinstone.org.
I'll be praying for you to find a job.
