Packing and Unpacking

Sunday I packed up my room and was all set on moving into a new house but I reallly didn't want to. I actually asked God for an out so I could stay with the Masons. I just really enjoy living with the Masons and they really like having me here. Being here I get to help Ree with the cooking and offer friendhsip. I am loving the behind the scene look at ministry and learn a lot from just being around. At church there was a girl who said she would move in instead of me and as I was puttting some blanket into the house Phil and Ree said Meag we were just talking and do you feel like you need to leave? Have we made you feel that way because you are really welcome to stay. And so tonight I unpacked and put clothes back into drawers and pictures back on the walls. I feel a peace about this decision and everyone is all around very happy. This way Simon and I can continue to save money because I'll just pay a low rent to them instead of the full deal of the other house.


This morning I went and helped in the soup kitchen that the Tribe runs. We made a chicken curry. I cubed the chicken, pealed onions, and snapped beans then served it to people in a nearby park. There is something really satisfying about being able to meet someones physical need of hunger. People are so grateful.


After soupie I went on a beautiful long walk today with my friend Ruthie. It is the lighthouse walk that passes by two surfing beaches and overlooks all of Byron. You might have seen the lighthouse in pictures of Byron. At a look out we saw a shark swimming in the waters below. It was huge and was just sailing along. There might have been two but we couldn't tell.


Tomorrow we are going to take a van in to get what they call a Regro check. If it passes we will buy it. Our dreams are answered in this bring blue VW van. It has a new engine but it needs some TLC on the inside. We are looking forward to working on it together.


Well, this update is going to be shorter than normal, which you are probably grateful for. I have a really hard time being concise.
