Where we left off...

Wow, it's already been a week and a half since coming to Halifax. It feels as though time is flying by too quickly, but at the same time, for us on project, it feels as though we've known each other for a couple months already!

1. Still Job Hunting...
[Prayer request #1] Most of us are still looking for jobs, and it's starting to get a little tiring, distracting, and discouraging, so you can pray for courage and success for us in job hunting. Here's a little snapshot from the first day we went out job hunting (and had access to free Internet in the library). For myself, I am going to be taking a break from job hunting today. Hopefully I will get some calls back this week, but I am going to work on my thesis/research work for SFU today instead of "pounding the pavement" and handing out any résumés.

(Answer to prayer #1) As of today, we are supposed to be able to get our Internet logins for the Saint Mary's University Internet! Yay! That means we should all be able to go online from our rooms, now. Thanks be to God!

2. My friends on project
I'm going to start "featuring" one or more people in my blog posts from now on, just so you can get to know the wonderful young students I'm on project with, here in Halifax. Let's start with Ricky, my roommate. Ricky shares my room with me, and I knew him previously because he's from UBC. He's going to be one of the Male Key Student Leaders (one of two) at UBC next year, which is really cool. It's great having Ricky as a roommate, because we're really comfortable with each other and it's as though we've hung out or lived together for awhile, already. Ricky and I have the same problem of sleeping through alarm clocks, though, which is hilarious.

3. I'm still really busy!
[Prayer request #2] You can also pray for me, that God will empower me to be disciplined and find the time to read my Bible and pray each morning, get the jump on my job hunting or SFU research work, and do all the project things that I want to (like hang out with fellow projectiles, or read my books). I've noticed (a supernatural?) improvement in my daily routine ever since I got to Halifax, but now it's starting to get tougher to wake up on time, again.

That's it for now! May the Lord Jesus Christ lead your day and your desires. Amen.
