My first night away.

This whole thing has just been an emotional roller coaster for me. I was nervous in asking my boss if I could crash at his place, worried about how my personal image would look upon him if he asked what happened, worried about how the image of Crusade would look like if he asked. In the mist of all that, I knew I had to talk to my boss either way, if I wasn’t able to find housing for the next week, I would have to leave Colorado by today and quit work early.

I prayed to God to give me a calm spirit, and that I will leave whatever consequences to Him. So I biked to work and when I arrived, I asked my boss if I could crash at his place. Without asking me any questions of why I need housing accommodations, he said ya. From there we went off on a few tangents, but eventually, he gave me his key to his car so that I can take the bike back, and get all my personal belongings into his car and leave Simba by 12pm.

I am so thankful for his generosity of opening his house to me. I feel so at peace with this, there is no hint of heavy pounding on my heart. I got to hang out with my boss and my boss’s wife yesterday after work. My boss and I chit chatted for hours before we head to bed last night. I have learned that his wife has a presbyterian background, and from previous conversations, my boss has a catholic background. I’m just looking forward for opportunities to arise in which I can have a spiritual conversation. This is so exciting to see how this week is going to unfold. One of the goal of project is for us students to develop relationship with our coworkers, and I think my boss and I are definitely beyond just an employer-employee relationship at this point.

God is SO good!
