Saturdays, a song by Late Tuesday-who are from the NW somewhere
Bake another cake please
I really need a party
to pull everyone together.
I'm shaking off this bad dream
I know, I'll make it through till morning
And then I'll pull it all together.
There are ways, on these days
there are ways to celebrate
what is great on Saturdays
though I'm still learning.
So pull out your umbrella
we're pushing through the downpour
you know, you make up for the weather
and we'll pop in a movie
and then we'll talk for hours
about the things
that make up for the heartache.
I'm letting the sun appear brighter
You're making the dark appear lighter
And this is exactly what is good for me
On these days, on these days
I'm still learning
what is great on Saturdays.
So that subsiding feeling of homesickness I mentioned in the last post? Not so subsided now. I still know it won't kill me but I'm at the point where I'm wondering why I didn't buy my plane ticket for the beginning of July instead of the end. And this may seem silly but I seriously feel like my mood and energy has been affected by the weather. Today? Pouring rain and cold again. Considering how much sleep I've gotten lately, I'm pretty puzzled by how little energy I have. I've been taking a daily vitamin so I shouldn't be low on iron, I've been trying to eat salty stuff, so it shouldn't be my low blood pressure. Just the blahs?
I read this though, "I love the Lord, for he heard my voice..." Psalm 116:1
What is the adventure in this? How can I appreciate it? How can I pull out of my half-heartedness right now? Lord, give me the strength, cuz this isn't something I'm going to do on my own.

AWESOME song. Did you know that Tara Ward of Late Tuesday now works at a small church plant in Edmonds (Church of the Beloved)...the very same church where I worked part time for 4 months last year. She has such a beautiful voice, and is an excellent "worship architect".
I like your prayer...how can you appreciate what is present. What is God saying to you in this moment through your life in Oesterreich? Knowing that you will return home soon to family and friends, what is God calling you to do before you leave?
I'm experiencing homesickness in a reverse sort of way. I'm looking for work outside of Seattle and the thought of leaving my community here is stirring up a great deal. But I will go where God calls, because community will find me again and friends will stay friends.
peace be with you, Becca.
