Hello friends i have decided that it is high time for an update. i am here to confirm the rumor that i am indeed planning on moving back to oregon, i think. i have pretty much decided that i will quit telling people my life plans, since they change so often. for the month of february and march I will be house sitting in salida, co. that will be an adventure! my friend amy lives in salida and knows a couple that asked her to house sit for them during those two months, but she will be on Hawaii in feb. (poor thing) so i am going to fly out there and do it instead! i think it will be a great time to relax and read and start writing that book i am always talking about. i am also thinking about starting a podcast, but i will let you know if that happens. i am looking foreward to having time to pray about what the next step in my life is going to be. at this point i am planning on moving back to medford, or after i am done house sitting, so these last weeks of jan,. will be my last hurrah in boise. since i am unemployed at this point i have plenty of time to hang out, so let me know if you’ve got free time! i am also looking for odd jobs these next few weeks, so I can still buy groceries.

i have felt change coming for a while, i just didn’t realize what kind. this last year i have had in boise has been wonderful, i hope that i am not leaving forever. when i came here in august of ’07 i was planning on helping with the DIA school by teaching in the Children in Crisis tract. i soon found out that that wasn’t going to be happening so i helped to plan the Woman and Children in Crisis class that ran last winter at the Vineyard. that was such and amazing experience and great practice and i am amazed at the fruit of that class. this past summer i have been helping to plan the Children In Crisis School that was going to be run through VCOM. it turns out that the school is not going to run, so i have asked God to release me to go on to whatever adventure is next in my life, i really feel like i have the freedom to move to whatever is next. i am so thankful for the relationships that i have made here and hope to keep those going.

i was lamenting to rachelle last month (something that I have done pretty often lately) about the fact that everything here is coming to an end. even my P.O. Box expires in feb! but at this point i have moved on to the excitement that new things bring. as i continue on my adventure i want to thank you all for your love and support and i want to share my adventures with you.
