Thanksgiving

Hmm...so, time has flown by yet not gone by fast enough.
There's one week of school and then finals when I return after this Thanksgiving break. It's been an INTENSE semester. Mostly it's because I dive into the deep end, whether I can swim well or not, and I see it all, I see every bit of the good, bad, and ugly that's in the ministry or school or community. It all comes crashing down on my expectations and understanding and generally it overwhelmes.

As it all winds down, it's like a storm has passed through. Some things are torn up, some things completely gone and to never be returned, some things will grow back with time, but I can just clean up what's left and be thankful I'm still alive and that I have the hope to continue on.

I can only live my life as I feel called and hope others follow the good things and do good things of their own. But I'm pro-active, it's what I try to do...

a rough start

This whole moving back to America business hasn't been easy. I'm finding my role as a bridge gets harder and harder. People just walk on bridges and don't bother to care about them until they start creaking a lot or until they just fall down. The bridge gets blamed, not the people that use the bridge for not taking care of it. Anyways, I've been creaking a lot under the pressure. But God is faithful and this rough spot has been a catalyst to push forward and it'll be ok.

A quarter of a century

Sorry, this is not a blog about today's election. I feel sad that we are repeating what our forefathers (the Israelites) did in seeking autonomy from God...He'd be a much better ruler of our nation. So nope, I didn't vote and I'm not registered and you can think all you want about it...

But I will say, being 25...I officially can add a year to my life but that doesn't necessarily add maturity or make life decisions any easier to navigate through. BUT I did have a wonderful birthday, one of the top 5 even...but yeah.

I made it through midterms ok and now finals in a matter of a few weeks. The oasis of Thanksgiving break is just in front of me. Then a week after that and finals and done! Woot.

With the semester almost over, I look forward to a chance to sit and reflect. That'll be intense.
