Job?
So I've been back in Knoxville for about 4 days now and I've been looking for a job, unpacking, and just hanging out. So far the job hunt isnt going wonderfully, but its ok. I did get this part time gig delivering the phone book here in town. Funny, I know, but hey, its extra money and I do need to eat and pay my rent. Tomorrow I am going to Kingsport for my newphews birthday party. He is already five. He's so big. It's still a little strange being back in the states. Being in Knoxville isnt the best thing. More later, my mind isnt here to be writing.
Stateside Again
I made it back to Tennessee safely Tuesday night. The trip went really well. The flight was long of course, but not to terrible. I sat next to a really cool girl, whose parents were missionaries in Turkey, I think. She was neat. My friends Daniel, Laura, and Danielle, met me at the airport with this big, neon green sign. It was really good. Then we went to the good ol Waffle House, my first meal back in the states, waffle house. That definatly has to say something about me I think. But so far its been pretty good being back here. I got to go to church last night at the new place we are having our wednesady service, in this coffee house that the church recently opened as a ministry place. It was really neat, I felt like I was back in Spain for a min. Afterwards a friend of mine who is involved in a ministry in Nashville asked me if I might be able to go on a mission trip with them Sat, the 25 to sat the 1st. Someone had backed out at the last min. So right now I am praying about it and trying to see if I need to go or stay here and spend time with my family.
It has been nice to see my family and friends again, but I kinda miss Santiago. My roommate Noemi snuck a note into my suitcase and I found it today as I was unpacking. It was so sweet, she wrote a lot of it in English which was really nice of her. But, I wanted to write more, but am about to fall out of the chair in sleepiness.
Going to the States
My time in Spain has come to an end. Tomorrow I get back on the plane for a 22 hour trip that will take me back to somewhere that I am not sure I really want to be going. I am definitely excited about seeing my family and friends again cause I do miss them. I talked to my nephew Hayden on the phone the other day for about the longest time I think he has ever talked to me on the phone, almost 7 mins total! So I was excited about getting to go home and hang out with him some. But being back in Knoxville, where I live really has no excitement for me. I know God is getting me ready for a move somewhere, but where that is right now I don't know. Maybe back to Santiago for 2 years? Maybe out west next winter? I don't know, but that's ok, part of the excitement about knowing God is not always knowing every next step, but just relying on Him. When the time comes that I need to know, he'll tell me.
Post One
So it seems people like to hear about what is going on in ones life sometimes. Me personally, I don't think my life is that exciting to merit much attention, but I guess others do, so I've decided to pick up from where www.stephinspain.blogspot.com left off. I'll be leaving Spain in less than a week to go back to Tennessee for who knows how short/long of a time, only God knows and as of yet He's not let me in on how long that is, but luckily for me, that is one of the things of love best about know God, sometimes He will surprise you with what He has to happen next. Check back soon if you wish for mi vida loca.
