Walking on the Water: Walking on the Water

Sorry, that I have not updated this blog in a while! I have been busy, and then I just kept putting off turning my laptop on. Since getting my iphone I have not turned my laptop on that often!

Back when I was trying to make up my mind about moving to Regina( God had told me He wanted me to move to Regina, I was just hesitating) a friend told me the story of Peter walking on the water and related it to my life. I had to get out of my comfort zone, trust Yeshua and walk on the water. So I am walking on the water! A couple days later my sister without knowing what my other friend had said told me to listen to the song "Walk on the Water" by Britt Nicole, I am going to share a verse from that song with you:

"So what are you waiting for?
What do you have to lose?
Your insecurities try to alter you

You know you're made for more
So don't be afraid to move
Your faith is all
It takes and you can
Walk on the water too"

I have come to love this song very much and it has such meaning to me and I have sang and listened to it so many times since moving to Regina.

So yes, it is official, I am all moved and settled into Regina, getting used to the city and settling into a routine while looking for a job and hanging out with a few people.

Regina has been fun so far, although I must admit that I am homesick for the first time in my life! Crazy, I know! I have lived away from home for three years and I am finally homesick for once! I think its because I have very few friends here and I feel like a fish out of water. At LCBI and CLBI I knew lots of people before going there so it was like moving to another home. Here, I know few people and am not close with any of them. This is probably the biggest reason for being homesick. I know the solution to that is simple MAKE MORE FRIENDS! Sounds easy, right? Nope, not for me! For some of you, that may be a shock! For those of you that know me, I am very outgoing and like to talk a lot. But I am also really shy, and I don’t know how to make friends. At LCBI and CLBI you were expected to bond with people and get to know them and you were given opportunities to bond with people. Also living with people made you even closer.

So now that I am outside of those circumstances I am at a lost and don’t know how to make friends! This is going to be a learning experience for me!

It’s also hard to adjust to living in a city, I lived in Camrose when I went to Bible school and that’s a city but somehow it did not feel like it at all. I am not used to having so many houses close together. I am sure that came out sounding like a true farm kid. Haha. I have had a few good times in Regina so far. The first night someone I knew from Zimrat took me to a Saskatchewan Roughriders game. That was a lot of fun! I was so happy to go to a Riders game! I had also had someone over this past Shabbat for a Erev Shabbat meal. That was lots of fun. The next day, her and I went to Torah study in a smaller town about half an hour away from Regina! That was a lot of fun! It was so nice to spend the day with other Messianic’s reading and discussing Torah. After that we went to someone else’s house and played games. While playing games and hanging out, everyone was making jokes and I have not laughed that much or hard in a good while! It felt so good just to laugh like that. They are some really awesome people and I am so blessed to know them all!
One thing that I really love about Regina is Wascana Park! You can walk around the lake and they have a fountain just like in Camrose. It reminds me of Camrose in a way and it is such a blessing to have something so home like here! It is kind of helping with the homesickness and the adjusting.

I think I am going to end this with a few pictures of my time so far in Regina!
