The Lord is our ever-present refuge

October 1.

New Calendar Feast of the Protection of the Mother of God.

*

God is richly blessing me on this day.

*

I saw monastics,

was able to be at a liturgy,

and received many blessings.

*

I looked on my church calendar and realized

that I don't know what (job) or where (city) I will be soon.

It is such a strange place to be in.

I am trying to be open to God's will,

whether I stay or leave.

I know I have blogged about this before,

but it is my current life...

*

It is not easy

but I must trust in God's mercy.

*

Let us seek to be thankful for this day,

no matter what or where we find ourselves.

And tomorrow, the train...

Okay.

Have researched online as much as I can

for this program

French as a Second Language.

*

Vacillate between feeling excited about it

and scared about how much work it would be.

**

However I am saying no to anxiety

and worrying about something or

feeling scared about it

does not mean one does not do it.

***

Finally,

I am going to Brampton tomorrow!

My Oma is 101.

All of my life she has always been here.

Can't imagine her not being

and am so glad I get to see her again.

**

I hope to savor each part of this small

vacation.

***

I have ordered the transcripts to apply to the program

and am going to fill out the application on the train.

Somehow I feel, overall, excited about this.

I think part of it is I always feel excited about school;

must seek to guard my heart also;

I have already had to blog about my dreams being

based in what was not really true.

Like thinking a perfect apartment or job

would give happiness

or

anything else that I really need.

***

After all, the purpose of life is not in having my dreams

of a family or good job or living space.

No.

The end and beginning must be

my faithful Saviour

Jesus Christ.

Prayer Needed Please /SVP - possible PT job

I got a call from a job agency.

Possible librarian part-time job.

Possibly can do French and work PT?

There was one requirement that they were looking for

that I did not have.

Please pray for wisdom and for God's will.

I should know by next week.

By the prayers of the Theotokos

O Lord, save us!
