Life in Syracuse

I never know what to write in these things, but I figured its time for an update.

Well, I'm here in Syracuse. We are into the second week of the program, and not too sore so far. Still getting back in shape, fun fun! Its coming, slowly but surely. Today I did devotions for the group and talked about Jer. 17:7-8....It seems like there are so many verses in the Bible that use the analogy of trees by the water for believers who are abiding in Christ. Anyways, its been a good reminder to me.

The other news is that I got a job at Ruby Tuesday as a hostess! That will be exciting. I start today....I think. I think I start training today, technically. I am so grateful the Lord opened the doors for this job, it seems like it will be great. The only potential downside is that they close at 11 on weeknights and 12 on weekends, which is a little later than what I was hoping for, but the Lord will make a way! The timing for all of this is good, seeing as I have very little money right now....I'm supposed to be receiving money from savings bonds here pretty soon, but its taking a long time (long story). So I'm trusting the Lord to get me through this month too! So yeah. Lots of trusting God happening right now. Its good. Hard at times, but good.

And really exciting news? I'm going to Peru with Light of the World in March. Isn't that exciting!? We weren't sure if the trainees were going to get to go, but they invited us as well! We will be doing the Crown, one of our ballets that is based on the book of Proverbs and is the story of this girl who tries to use her good works to gain the crown of life. But obviously since thats impossible, she becomes thwarted by Foolish (the bad guy - or girl as it were), and then cries out to Wisdom for help. Thats the basic plot anyway. I get to play the part of Pride in it, which is ironic, because that is probably the sin I struggle with the most. Theatrically, its a fun part to do, but I'm thinking that it is not just by coincidence that I have this role.....

I think thats about it. Oh, and I've been church hunting.....fun fun! Not. Found a couple possible candidates, and one that looks fairly promising, but I want to look around a little more first.

So yep. Such is the life of Gwen at this point in time :D
