I love it when a huge wave is coming in and if you catch it just right you can body surf it in to shore. However, if you miss your leap, it crashes down on you almost sucking you under. Sometimes it feels like life is like that... wading in the water, waiting for the opportune time to ride it in... or else, duoh - you swallow a crap load of salty water...yuck.
October is slowly coming to an end. I can't believe I've been done the Leadership Apprentice Progam since end of August. What the heck...where has this time gone. Similar to restarting anywhere, things take time... I realize more and more just how impatient I am, and hate to wait. I'm definately learning to trust Him in moments and days like today. I'm learning to hold onto the fact that He has a plan and a purpose for my life.
I'm going home for the November long weekend. I can't wait to be home, surrounded with good friends and great food, and long meaningful talks with loved ones. There are the little things I've come to miss about Regina - oddly. Like being able to connect with friends in minutes, not after an hour of c-train travel, random invites to dinner(s), and spur of the moment gatherings. Never thought I'd ever really miss Regina, Saskatchewan...haha. However, it is those random nights when close friends gather to really do nothing but be together that seem all so few and far between for me now. Just the lively socialhood I had there - understanding in time it will come about here too.
There are some days I seriously question being here, and other's that I truly believe I'm supposed to be. Ahh... all good things come with time friends. All good things. For now I'll just enjoy the clear view of the mountains as I finish my din din and watch some soaps (NOT). ;-)
Till we meet again...

HEY Tanya ... i completely in a similar place. Starting over is really difficult. This is my current reality and some days has been very hard ... New home, new place, new country, no history, barely any friends or people who understand you.
But, keep your chin up kiddo - you are not alone - the Lord is very there present in the midst of your feelings of aloneness. Which is so very different than loneliness.
Appreciate the beauty of aloneness. Push yourself to do things that you normally have not done.
Find-search out the new treasures that often is easily missed in comfortable relationships and scenarios. Sometimes complete change is awesome for getting us out of our familiarity and ruts that we often hide in and also which can rub off potency in us.
Don't just wait for it to find you otherwise, it easily can be missed. At times even trying to cling to the memories of the old can at times rob us from seeing the newness that is developing in front of us and in us. Appreciate it and value it but, may we never set it up as an altar in front of us.
Step out - Get up on the tallest part of that wave and ride it baby all the way into the shore of this new land you are about to embrace!!
Hey girl! Took me a while to figure out who the heck is WAUGDAI was! Uh, what does waugdai mean? Good to hear some writings from your heart. I can relate with the wading out in the water metaphor. Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. And of course you were going to miss Regina! The Queen City! Here's a quote for you..."No cities with the possible exception of Sodom and Gomorrah have ever been founded in less congenial physical surroundigs than Regina, the Queen City of Saskatchewan." Edward McCourt, Canadian writer Teehee.

I am always amazed and sometimes confused how ends are always beginings as well...May your new begining be full of you catching glimpses of God at work in the ordinary of your day!
Bless you!
