6-More Than Coping

So I recieved news a couple of days ago that I shouldn't expect to leave the country on Friday. Not long after, I came to discover that Ken's struggle with typhoid is rather intence and other situations suggest that now is not the best time to go down. So with the thought of having to wait again, this time until January to depeart. I do admit disappointment. For the first six hours of finding out, I wasn't sure what to do with myself. I felt more prepared to be in Bolivia for this next month than in Canada. As it was Tuesday, I thought it might be best to skip out on the Love Bus once to get everything figured out in my mind. After some encouraging time and talks with friends, I came to terms with the situation, and now I`m feeling like there is something good that will come of this. Maybe this is being delayed for purposes explained in 1 Peter 1:3-9 (thank you Colton), and maybe also, God is protecting me or preparing me, or strengthening me through lack of being prapared, as I wasn`t prepared to not go (thank you Matt).

Whatever happens happens.

So I was going to have a `Goobye Tim Fondu Night` but it turned into a `Fondu Night` alone. It was such a nice time though. I got to just relax and enjoy some fondu and games with friends. Thank you to all that could come out!

People are cool. It`s amazing how each individual of the hundreds of billions to have lived or are living have all been created, atom for atom, specifically, given a character, affected by nature and nuture. Everyone has their own little life! Sorry, BIG life! So intricate. And God loves each of us for who He made us to be, and knows every little thing about us. I think that`s cool.
