In January I decided to send some of my belonging in a shipment. The items were packed up in boxes and put on a ship headed for PNG. I was informed that it would arrive in May, possibly beating me to Ukarumpa. I was thrilled and went along packing, moving, saying goodbye, and so forth.
In May I arrived here and realized my shipment had not arrived. Though a little disappointed I realized this was not uncommon. I though of all the reasons why it could be delayed and relaxed. Many months went by and to my own dismay I began to realize I had put certain things on the shipment that I should have taken on the airplane with me. Discouragement began to creep up on me.
People kept saying it would be here this weekend or or this Friday and I decided not to listen. It would come when it was suppose to come. With this kind of thinking you can imagine my surprise when I went to the store this Friday and actually SAW my shipment. Faith without seeing just didn't work after being let down so many times. There it was and it was beautiful! I am thankful for all the hard work the shipping department did. I can't imagine it being easy to work with so many different countries. I am thankful for my "Christmas" in August!
On Friday night my roommate made cookies while I showed her everything I had brought! I think she is excited to "share" my things! I feel like I can begin to nest now and create a home for myself.
