God is good

So after i wrote about my fears of isolation and no social interaction God answered my desires. i was emailing back and forth with Dorothy about logistics stuff and then she wrote me about how she knows i will need social interaction and such. the new house she is renting has room to entertain and not disturb the children. The church that I will be attending with her and the children is a walk away and there are many young adults there that she feels i will become good friends with. :)

with this new house there is going to be a lot more space and i will actually be getting my OWN room...until another apportunity came up and she presented it to me...apparently there is a woman who has worked in Haiti a few times that Karl(the paster at Dorothy's church) knows and she needs a place to stay for reasonable rent. so i will be having a roommate.

at first i wasn't so sure about the roommate thing because i really wanted this journey to Haiti to be one that stretches me. when i lived in jamaica for the summer i had christina. and although i love her dearly and learned so much there, i always had a sidekick so to speak. i mean we volunteered at the same place, lived with the same family, had the same classes together and travelled together. it was a wonderful experience. however with this trip to Haiti i wanted to be stretched more...know that i dont need another person for support. that my strengh would be through God and that I would become a lot more confident in my abilities.

but after much thought and prayer i have realized that GOD IS GOOD. He has seen my desire for social interaction and relationship with peers and provided. this roommate and i wont be doing the same thing constently and i am SURE i will learn from her as every roommate i have had before. in fact for me to tell dorothy i dont want a roommate would be selfish i feel. i mean the rent from her would be an added income to help with things. plus it would be another hand to help around the house and love on the kids.

so to sum it up i'm not too worried about having no social interaction anymore. i'm excited to have new friends and more people to help me practice my haitian creole.

however dont think that means i dont want emails, comments on this blog, myspace, facebook and mail because I DO!!!! you all have to keep me in the know about your lifes and what is going on in KC!!!! plus i will miss you all a ton!!!!

love love love you all!
