Feelin' Sentimental

Today we got our first bit of good news in terms of getting to New York. John's boss is recommending that he get leave. John also got a job interview for a security guard job.
I'm not having as much luck and on the weekend I wasn't too motivated to apply for jobs. I applied for some today - changing my cover letter yet again. I also emailed the exchange coordinator at the ACT department of education to see if there is any possibility of doing an exchange to New York. I don't like my chances, but it can't hurt to try yet another avenue!
I went for a run tonight. I didn't want to, but I'm glad I did. It made me realise that I have a lot of special memories attached to running in the dark and to our neighbourhood. I'm going to miss it. And then I realised I'll also miss the people at Chapman - and I've only just started that episode of my life! So, I've decided that I'll always miss something. When I think of the holiday in the US, I miss it and want to go back. When I think of the kids at Macgregor, I miss them. But missing doesn't really hurt me! It's just a reminder of the special experiences in my life. And I need to keep moving forward - living, and making more memories to miss!
I'm not too worried about going to New York and it bothers me when people suggest that I should be. Everything will fall into place at just the right time. God won't be rushed. He leads only one step at a time, shining a light just a little ahead.
