I have officially ended my job at AIM and started another. It's
so great to be out of that cubicle but man do I miss the people I worked with
at AIM. I've loved meeting my new co-workers these past few weeks and as
strange as it sounds, it has been quite refreshing to be around non-Jesus folk.
I love answering all their questions and revealing God's kingdom to them but it
does get rough at times feeling like I'm the only one.

As many of you know, my sister got married in June, which was quite
an emotional experience for me. I cried like a little baby at the wedding! But
now I am seeing things on my sisters Facebook like "I love my husband" and it
finally setting in; my sister is married.

Tom Krats, a fellow Novas-er and great friend, just called
me to tell me he is engaged. Holy cow.

Travis "Cletus" Harris is one of my best friends and it
seems that in these past few weeks we have grown to be much closer. He is about
to leave on an 8-month mission trip around the world and to be honest I'm
having a hard time with it. It seems like every time I get a great friend they
get ripped away.

Jenny, the one who moved down to Atlanta with me, just got
back from a summer in Haiti. I didn't realize it until she was gone how much of
an encouraging person she is and how much life she brought to me. We spent the
day together in Atlanta and had an awesome time reminiscing but the more I hear
her heart the more it seems that she won't be here long. Jenny's heart is for
the nations, for the least of these, and that is where she belongs.

At the moment, I am sleeping on the floor in a friend's
apartment but come September 1^st, I am out of here and I have no
idea where I will go. This is the 9^th place I have lived this year
and in a couple of weeks I will hit number 10. I am so ready to settle down and
have a place to call home.

Tonight it finally hit me. My emotional meter has hit the
max. Sometimes I wonder if I can handle one more transition and suddenly God
steps in and reminds me that it is all about him.
