So how is this for Georgia: the internet finally gets installed at my house after a waiting period of more than 2 months, and 4 days after they install it the internet company gets shut down because they didn't pay the phone bill.
*Jenni laughs at the ridiculousness while thinking what to do now*
I was never into that whole taking about yourself in the third person and surrounding it with astericks thing, but it seemed appropriate.
So I just got back from spending 3 days in Gardbani. My initial plan was to spend just one night, but ended up staying more... But it was a good break from my busy life in Tbilisi. Gardbani is a small town (even smaller than Ephrata), so it's more peaceful. And also it kind of has become my equivalent to visiting "home", like I did when I was in college, because Diana's mom cooks special food, and really takes care of us. So it was really nice not to think about what to feed myself, or about cleaning the house, or to be overwhelmed with the plethora of opportunities for busyness in Tbilisi.
But now I'm back, and the craziness starts again tomorrow. Honestly I think there are plenty of people who are much more busy than I am, but I FEEL very busy. Partly due to bad time management and my inability to do all the things I WANT to do (knit hundreds of scarves, paint things, learn how to crochet, cook interesting food, read through the 5 books that I've started reading and haven't finished, play my guitar and make beautiful music, walk around Tbilisi enjoying the beauty of fall, etc.) which leads me to this unsatisfied feeling. And also I think I've begun to give more attention to God's work than to God Himself. And that message has been resounding all around me for some time, but I feel stuck as how to bring it into application in my life at this moment. Not that I don't know what I should do, or what the outcome should look like.. I just really am struggling with my application skills. *Sighs a bit tiredly (tired from the worries of life and from wanting physical sleep as well)*
I hope that my desire to write those asterick things soon passes. Ok, I'd better go- my thumb is cramping from writing too much on my small cellphone keys.. (but seriously, I am so grateful for predictive text!).
By the way, if you have not listened to the Jon Foreman season EPs, please do. They will enrich your life.
