Another technological victory: it turns out that all my computer issues for the past few months were caused by lack of hard drive space – now that I have a new 1 TB external hard drive, I can once again open and save files, run programs, print, etc.  So happy!

I'm so excited!  I finally figured out how to connect my phone to my laptop via bluetooth (since my phone doesn't sync to macs), so I can finally get my photos off of my phone, and music onto my phone...!  Yay!  What a great discovery.

Waiting

At the last hour, God provided us with a fourth roommate!  This means I'll most likely stay in Boston (unless something crazy happens).  And I had an interview with Starbucks yesterday!  It's been my secret dream to work there, so we'll see what happens with this too (they're pretty selective, at least in this area).  Now I'm off to NYC to celebrate Lydia's birthday, and then home to Rhinebeck for a bit...excited to hang out with the siblings, and Jane, and see the family, as I wait for the pieces to fall...

I had lunch with a friend at her workplace located in the Arboretum yesterday, and afterwards, wandered around the Arboretum for a while, just enjoying the beauty of the place.  It reminded me of how I used to often walk to the Mt Auburn Cemetery during my lunch break at my old job - it was a really important part of my life, seeking God in His beauty, and I am realizing that I miss it.

Hmm...life is beautiful, even when things are scary.

Trusting

Wow...everything in my life feels so unsettled right now.  And yet, I feel fairly at peace, considering!  After feeling disconnected from God for the past few months, this is such a time of blessing, despite the circumstances.  Actually trusting that God will take care of me...no small thing.  Even though I feel like I have nothing...anything is possible!

(Ask me if you want to know the specifics.)

Back in Boston

After nearly a month back in the states, I've finally written a summary of my time in China: http://vanessaschinatrip2009.wordpress.com/

It was a great trip, and I'm deeply thankful to God and friends that I was able to go.
