Back in Rhythm and Facing Unknowns

We are back and running like normal again. All of a sudden everything has changed. People are back from holiday, kids are back in school and we are up and running again. It has been nice to be busy again. I have missed the action in the cafe. We have also been gaining more and more new volunteers. Most of them are non-Christians that have responded to our ad online. It is great getting to know each story and working with each of them. We often get to have conversations about why we started the cafe and our faith. It is also nice to have the extra hands when the workload increases.

September is bringing the start of everything again. Our cafe calendar is becoming full with all kinds of plans.  We are starting Girls Night In and will even be adding a Men's Night. We recently had a concert. A small choir from the Methodist church came and sang some songs. It was a nice evening and a great way to connect with new people. I am excited to once again be busy with monthly ministries again.

I am still almost homeless. We have some leads on an apartment this winter. But things are still up on the air until then. I am daily writing many people about places to live. I am not sure what will happen at this point. I don't like this feeling of not knowing where I will live and being without a place for me to unpack.

So, as the cafe is going back to normal, I am living in uncertainty in my own life. But, I continue on in this rhythm of work and see where I will land.
