...new things

So I haven't posted in awhile --at least not about any recent happenings. There is far more to tell than I have the time for right now. So I will give you a quick update.

I'm sitting in my little motel room, here in Shelby Montana, where I have been for a week now. About two weeks ago I came up to Lethbridge Alberta(hour and a half north of here) to get the wheels rolling on my new life there. However, there have been some paper work problems with my visa and I am stuck outside of the country until this is cleared up. I'm going now into the Rockies to volunteer on a couple farms, something to keep me busy and perhaps a good place to keep to myself, pray and decide some steps from here. 

So much has happened since I visited Lethbridge in December(see "5,300 miles") and I'm so grateful for it all. I was lead to River of Life church, where I've been welcomed and supported beyond what I ever would have expected(there's a neat story about how I was given the name on several accounts before even knowing it existed). I was lead to a location where I could get off into the mountains from time to time(if you know me then you know how much that means to me). I found a great job doing what love, with an employer who is very committed to getting me into the country(which I didn't expect to find. Awesome). I was blessed with a house, a vehicle, funds, etc etc...but my favourite would be the amazing girlfriend that I've been gifted with. She's been a huge influence in my walk with God and just in bringing me back to what made sense in my life and as a person. You will see more posts on all of this in the future, I'm sure. 

Well, I must go pack up the truck and head out. God bless!
