Still here!
That is kind of how I feel. Not stuck, just a bit disappointed that I haven't really moved. I am incredibley busy with my new job teaching preschool, full-time grad school, learning the accordion, being in my room-mate's wedding, spending time with friends and family... I took a weekend class in October that wiped me out and I'm gone almost every weekend of November for various reasons. It is suffocating for my introvert self not to have time alone, time with God, time to work on my citizenship... like I want to.
Spiritually I feel like I need more mentorship and have been out of church some 6 weeks since October, which has been rough. But beyond that, I need to process things, and I need to refocus on God's call on my life and I don't feel that I have space for that right now. I would appreciate your prayers.
Specifically, regarding Italian citizenship I am really at such a road block with paperwork. It is terrifying and annoying because I qualify, I just cannot access the evidence! I have yet to ask my friend whose father works for the Italian president. My only other option is to beg my grandmother for help (as closest kin to her father, she has more power). She has been very cold about this and cannot understand.
I have mixed feelings about Italy, about California and Washington...about teaching! I really don't know what things will look like after this year, but I am planning on applying to teach at Italian schools in January, so please pray for that. Everything takes courage. I am like an acrobat taking risks. All the while God is ready to catch me if I fall. May I never flinch from following Him. I need clarity to hear Him.
Thank you for your prayer-love. May God be your strength and song today!
