I remain a story teller...a long update

Hmm...my long distance communication is either dead or in the 'Critical Care' unit of the hospital right now. This is at least kind of a good thing...my Tokyo relationships have been really great these past couple months, and it is nice to have that stability. My supervisor and I can joke around a lot now...he frequently threatens to leave the

Yay for prayer and for God-inspired, bigger-than-life, impossible callings that won't go away. And yay for opera music! (which it says you are currently listening to) :) - Cindy

On one hand, I'm happy and proud for you. Good job for starting something and seeing it through. I'll be thinking of you.

On the other hand...I'm kinda jealous. It must be nice to have a calling.

Thanks...it's true, it feels nice to have something that gives purpose to my life. Though I do believe a couple things very strongly...one is that God does not actually need a single one of us, but sees our worth anyway. So, even if this doesn't work, or doesn't turn out anything like how I am expecting, I will be okay. The other is that everyone has a calling of some kind.

Man...it's been forever since I've talked to you, and it's entirely my fault. I really enjoyed your email on Nagasaki...it was one of those lovely deep ones that I really wanted to respond to in a lovely deep way, and then I got busy and didn't even manage a shallow response. I'm sorry. I've gotten so bad at long distance talking. How are things going for you these days?

How are things going for you these days?

Not so hot...besides my complete and utter lack of a focus on my life and trying desperately to find some sort of calling, there's all sorts of practical problems. (Such as total creeps for housemates...long story), trying to pay bills, etc. I'm stuck in Fairbanks, and I feel like I'll be here forever.

But enough whining. We should talk sometime! I miss you...*hugs*
