Hello friends!
How have you been? Are you having a lovely summer? I'll be honest, I'm ready for the heat to abate some. I'm just tired of sweating. It isn't ladylike. :)

So, once again, I have let too much time lapse in between posts (I'm still blaming the fact that I don't have wireless internet at home. Would you ask Stephen King to write his next novel on his iPhone? Didn't think so.) This has been an insane summer for me. So much has happened and so much has changed.
In Which I Almost Became Homeless...

Long story short, my living situation got a bit tricky and I was trying frantically to find somewhere to go, only to end up... not moving. haha It was a little scary there for a while and I thought I might actually have to go to a shelter or something because I just wasn't sure how I was going to make it work. I am very thankful for my roommate and her generous hospitality in allowing me to be able to stay with her until I'm able to find another place for myself. (Hint: It shouldn't be too long)
In Which I Thought I Had Cancer...
I didn't really talk about this to that many people, but I found a small lump in my breast at the end of May, so this summer was a barrage of tests and doctor visits, as we tried to figure out what exactly was going on. I'm very blessed to tell you that at this time, I do not have cancer. My doctor wants to see me again in January as a follow-up, but he seemed to think that I had no reason for concern at this time. Thank the Lord!

In Which I Lost My Job... and Found a New One!

So... I started working for S&P in January, with the idea that I'd be with them for at least a year's time. I enjoyed working at S&P. I liked my co-workers. I love a challenge and this job was definitely challenging to me, so after months of training, I was finally on my own, when... my second half funding fell through. I was greatly disappointed. But God had another plan for me. Only two days after I was put "on hold" at S&P, I was contacted by Sarabeth's Bakery to come in for an interview. I interviewed with them the following day and was offered the job about two weeks later. It was so much more than I had ever expected! When I moved to this city it took me months to find work initially and here I found something within days! God was so kind to provide for me that quickly. It could have been so much worse. I've been at Sarabeth's for about a month now and I am enjoying it. I have a great co-worker who I enjoy working with and working for Sarabeth is quite an adventure! She's lovely and so much fun!

As for the rest of my life... I'm keeping fairly active with my church. Hanging out with friends, both old and new, and just trying to beat the heat! The humidity here is just awful. haha I miss my family and friends, but I am loving my life here and still can't believe that I'm living in the greatest city on earth! I spend a lot of time in Central Park. I finally visited The Met! and I'm walking all the time. Discovering new neighborhoods (or nabes as they refer to them here) and finding beauty in everything around me. I'm attaching some pics of my adventures for any who aren't on Facebook and want to see. :)

Anyway, that's a basic life update. I'll try to update again soon. Just know that God is taking care of me and I am doing alright. Someday I'll have wifi and be able to update more easily and more often.
Much love,
♥ Rebekah xoxo
