Away from home?

Ok so these are in reverse order that i wanted to put them on but here is backward since being home... Got engaged Oct. 7, 2010
Moved into my first (and only ) apartment all by myself, downtown Milwaukee August, 2010
I visited Andrew in Canada. We climbed a little mountain Aug. 2010
Andrew came to Wisconsin and we hung out with some mutual friends: Chris and Calvin, plus hanging out with family and friends July 2010

I can't believe I am coming up to being away from New Zealand for almost a year. I miss it everyday, I feel like I am away from my home. It is cool to see what God has done in my life since coming home. In my relationship with my family, deeper relationship with my friends, a God-fearing husband to be ;), my own apartment, a full time job, a Bible study, and much more. It is definitely harder in the real world to keep my heart focused on Christ and to be in His Word and talking with Him. Capernwray had this uplifting greenhouse to grow heaps in my faith, and I am finding it hard being planted out in the big 'woods' of Milwaukee! God has me here for a reason though. (Although I won't be here for long...162 days til the wedding and after that honeymoon-home-pack-road trip to Canada-culinary school-married life forever :)...I love you Andrew)

Purpose of this starting up again was to keep me accountable and I guess uplift and encourage anyone who still reads this long-outdated blog of mine. Thank you Shelly for encouraging me to start this up again. Plan goes as followed: look back on my Capernwray notes, reflect and talk about it. Hope some cool things resurface and I can share what I learned in New Zealand to you.

love,

Elizabeth
