The Good
Being in the city provides amazing opportunities to meet people, whether standing in line in a busy Target, sitting on the subway, getting off the subway as Ellie has a meltdown only to meet a man who buys you a delicious frozen yogurt, to walking in Park Slope and being welcomed by many new neighbors. It is great to be in the city and to have the opportunity to meet so many people.
The Helpful
While it is great, nothing has come easy this first week and in this [whether the four trips to Staples in one day, being rejected for a cellphone, or having to prove the church is a legitimate thing to the cable company] but in all this it has a wonderful way of revealing idols of the heart, control, ease, finding peace in things other than God and that is just a start. In the fast pace of life and many things being out of your control, we can look for peace and security in other things but thanks be to God that in these times God shows us where our treasure is, which shows us where our heart is.
God thank you for the city
