Well, we have been here in St. Louis for a week. Talk about culture shock! I feel as though I am in a different country! Lexington and St. Louis are like night and day. I have yet to figure out which one is night and which is day, they are just so different. I wouldn't call Lexington country, but I feel like a small town country girl compared to this. No doubt God is having us step out of our comfort zones to trust him.
St. Louis is awesome! The opportunities here are endless (however, somehow I haven't found a job yet-It's all in God's hands).
Few cool facts I have learned about St. Louis:
1. Nelly is from St. Louis (Just in case you didn't know I was a huge fan back in high school). Erin- Sheryl Crow is also from this area.
2. Forrest Park (which I could spend every hour of everyday in) is the largest park in the U.S. It's larger than Central Park. Pictures to come of us and the dogs there.
3. The worlds first skyscraper was built here and still remains. Visit and I will take you there along with all the billions of other cool places here (had to throw that in).
4. If your driver's license is suspended you can't even drive a moped out here. Know how I learned that one? Patrick bought a moped from a man who had his license suspended. Mopeds are cool and respected out here, an easy way to get around the city. That's right, once again my prayer life will be increased.
Well like I said we are blessed! Today we found a church in our community. It reminds us a lot of our church in Charlotte, very much an inter-city church. In my daily bread I am learning so much (Thanks for the devotional
Streams in the Desert Kristen)! I am learning to TRUST, and BE JOYFUL IN ALL TIMES because GOD must BREAK ME of my NATURAL CHARACTER to MAKE ME MORE LIKE HIM. I am learning WHAT IT MEANS TO BE LIKE HIM. And that is just what the pastor spoke on! Isaiah 28:28 Grain must be ground to make bread.
Anyway, introducing Solomon, our foster dog. This is for his mommy, Laura, who misses him.
It's hard enough to get two dogs to hold still long enough to take a picture...to complicate problems even more add squirrels, ducks, and birds all around them.
A bonding moment.
Much needed water, it was a hot day.
