New adventure

So I have moved to Cape Town & I love it! I took a big step but I knew I needed to do it. I’ve craved a change for so long. I have started a new job, a new life. Meeting new people & making new friends. I am learning new things and realize again there is so much to be learned.

I am staying with a lady from church until I find a place of my own. She is so sweet and spoils me. Everyone has been so friendly to me. To an extend I see a different world here, different people than what I’m use to. I’ve met a married lesbian couple, who seem happy & they are lovely people. I am so excited as I have been invited for supper at their house! A colleague of mine is gay and has been with the same partner for 13 yrs. Wow! It blesses me to see this, inspires me to be myself. Now I have friends coming over for coffee tonight that I haven’t seen in a long time. I wonder if they will notice a change in me, I wonder if I will be brave enough to be honest about myself.

This is my 2nd week in my new job and it’s challenging. It feels like everything I have known before has been wiped out. I realized yesterday I definitely need to do more theology studies & read more in order to be well equipped for this. But god knows what He is doing. He always does & always has a plan. I am grateful for that. Grateful that He loves me & cares so much & blesses me way more than what I could ever deserve.
Well, that’s the update of my life for now.
