Excitement!

Lovely friends and family,

First I apologize for the overload of blog posts this month. I am nearly certain that this will be the last one for October. But I have some exciting news to share! I will be moving this week! And I found out today. And I am rather overexcited about this new move. I don't know how many details I can give, but in short I will be moving into a home owned by a ministry in downtown Denver. I will be living in a house with a house director and four women who are trying to find a new place in the world. I believe this is the first time this ministry has invited someone outside of the ministry to live in one of these houses as far as I understand, so it will be new for both me and them. It is a very exciting opportunity for me and I couldn't be more thrilled! I have no official role or responsibilities in this house (other than normal household chores). I will be paying rent and have no obligation to work for the ministry or anything. I am welcome to join in the women's lives as much or as little as possible. I am hopeful that I will be able to join in their lives enough to form relationships. I plan to fellowship over dinner with them regularly and spend time with them many evenings in order to become a part of their home and their lives. I will be living close to a good friend of mine here as well which is quite exciting for both of us. She works for and lives in the ministry homes as well, so we are excited to be in this community together. Praise God for this awesome opportunity in this new home!

In the midst of my joy and enthusiasm, I would also love a bit of prayer. :) This opportunity just came up last week and I just confirmed today that I would in fact take it. They would like me to move in by November 1st. Which happens to be Friday. It also happens to be the first day of a lovely friend's visit to Denver! While I am very excited for his visit and plan to use him in my moving process (Thanks in advance Zach. You're the best!), it will be a bit of a chaotic week. I'm working to get homework done before all this commences (as you can see by the fact that I'm writing a blog post, I am excelling at this) as well as start packing and moving some of my stuff into the house. However, I'm not sure it's all going to get done and I know I will be a bit overwhelmed. So all your prayer is appreciated!

I think that's about all! Oh and for those of you fabulous people who have been writing me letters, please do not let this deter you. (Side note- I'm not sure what's going on with my vocabulary in this post. I think it's due to my level of enthusiasm. I hope you find it enjoyable.) Just text me and I will send you an address to which you can mail letters! Yay! Thanks for joining in my excitement! Have a lovely evening all!
