I know that today is the second post of the day, which is probably a blogger "no no," But today was simply great! I got an interview and then applied to fifty million more jobs it seems like. I was planning on going to this church thing, but I was so tired. I decide to just suck it up and go, but when I plugged it into my GPS it couldn't find the address. I knew that the only way I would get there was if I figured out the directions on my own.... well I did it! First time navigating with just a map in Austin!
But then I got there. I could only see three people standing outside and I wasn't sure I had the nerve to go in. I had to remind myself that I really have nothing to lose. So what if they think I'm weird or if I think they are weird - who cares? So I finally get the courage to meet these people and it turns out there are a good 40 or more people that come out to this gathering. And most of the people I met had just moved to Austin from the north! Most of them didn't have jobs when they moved, and some still need roommates.
It was amazing!! I didn't realize how good it is talking to people face to face - especially people who are in the exact same place in life as I am. It's almost like looking into a mirror. I finally feel like I've met a group of people I click with. That could be because they are not from the South, haha. Some of them have been on staff with college ministries, gone to Bible colleges, and even been on STPs! I feel a sense of belonging that I haven't had these past two weeks. I am literally thrilled!
