Three Months In Hi,

I realize I haven't posted anything directly about what I am doing or any kind of an update for quite some time. Part of that pertains to the predicament of not having proper access to internet for some time and part of it lies within my heart; not knowing how to express what’s going on inside of me or how to appropriately identify what God is teaching me through the process of it all.
In the past month there have been some significant changes. I have moved from East Saanich (about 45 min by bus) to Vic West (about a 6 min bus ride to downtown). This has been an incredibly positive, yet challenging change for me. I feel like life is coming back to me. I realize (three months later) how unfocused I have been, and how little parts of me fell asleep or died. Perhaps this is the vision for the 12 month placement(not that I should be asleep); but to be sent to an area, transitioned and then fully released and operating in my gifts and abilities. I’ve let too much time slide by, my transitioning needs to be over. I need to be fully awakened and walking in the things that I know that God has put inside of me. “This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath [a] enter you, and you will come to life.” Ezk 37
I’m in a place where I see broken people everyday. I spend my lunch time with between 10-12 young street people who have serious addictions, have never had a loving, trusting relationship and have had more “life experiences” then you and me put together. I am also the residential supervisor in a housing project for young girls who are just off the street or are out of foster care. Abortion, sex, drugs, alcoholism, manipulation- this is all they know. I know a lot of broken people. I’ve come to a place just recently, where I’ve decided that these people just plain need Jesus. I know there’s many wonderful people who labor for years and years doing ministry on the streets and to the homeless but after three months my sentiments are there’s nothing in this world we can possibly do for these people. It’s Jesus and Jesus alone. I’ve been re-focusing in that, I want to start believing God for healing and deliverances. I’m going to take some time to fast and pray this month. I really want to search out the way in which God has called me to do evangelism and I want to be available to step into it. I don’t know what this means…but I believe that life with the Holy Spirit is an adventure.
I believe that things are coming back to life in me. Life here has definitely been a journey. Victoria feels like home now and I have met a few awesome treasured people who are dear friends and encouragers. God knew! The one thing I wrestle with is the dang ole spirit of isolation. It’s hard to press in in prayer... when you’re alone, it’s hard to get motivated to study the word of God….when you’re alone. I’ve drawn back and back and it’s brought yuckiness. However, when I am unfaithful- yet God proves Himself faithful, and this fortunately for my sake is all about learning. So today I’m thankful for a renewing of my mind, for God’s faithfulness and for life. I’m on a journey.
In other news, I won’t be home for Christmas, I’m going to visit with Bonnie and Shawn in Saskatchewan for a week. Rock on Maritimers.  ¶ 5:22 PM
