Good Day

    Yesterday I finished unpacking the boxes, I piled stuff that needed to go to the trash and Goodwill. Then I happened to look out the window. It was snowing pretty steady. I thought it would probably stop soon so I waited. Well, it snowed all night. This morning I had a list of things to get done. I was determined that I could do this if my sister in CT could.

   I now know that you need an ice scrapper thingy. I started the car and waited. I will need to learn to allow time to defrost. After 15 minutes, I still couldn't see out the windows. I remembered that I had bought a wooden flat spatula, so I went and got it. It worked, well kinda! So I headed downtown on icy roads. This is totally new to me. In Kabul, we had snow but we had drivers.

   I found the driver license place. It is not the DMV like in CA. I was in and out in twenty minutes with a KY license in hand. It is made right there. I'm impressed. But the best part was that right next door was the downtown library. I figured that I needed a library card too. WOW! This place is amazing. It has its own coffee shop, art gallery and 4 floors of books. I limited myself to 3 books and made myself leave. But I will be back!

   So I'm official, I have a KY driver license and a library card. I didn't realize how easy this move would be for me. My sister has a friend here and I have a friend from Kabul here. Both of these ladies have gone out of their way to let me know where things are and where I can get things. I just started praising God today that He had prepared me for this place ahead of time. This may sound funny but I really missed lunch meat these past two years. Today while I was eating a bologna sandwich, I thanked Him for giving me back the little things that I have missed. I could have gone without them if I could have stayed in Kabul for longer. But you know He knows even the smallest things that are special to you.
