So much for planning to write a blog post once a month, it’s been more
like once a year! That is largely due to the fact that the year has been so
FULL. I feel almost overwhelmed by goodness, it’s quite unfair!
The school term came and went. The mental picture I had before the time
was a windmill spinning at full velocity, and indeed that would be an accurate
description of the past few months. A course on Bioethics is helping me think
more theological about the complexity of any ethical decisions. A Systematics
Theology Course has me inspired about our future life in eternity, not to
mention the quality of the prof; it was a real privilege to be in class under
him. A third practical class with the Navigators on campus – lots of fun and I
got to share life with many wonderful students J
And a fourth weekend class to discern my future… I still don’t know what I am
going to do next, but there is time to decide.
Another very exciting adventure has begun, with a guy. I am so thankful
for Colin; he is a gift! It’s kind of strange to write about something so
personal on the internet, but very generally: he is amazing, we really enjoy
spending time together, we’re on a journey and our guide is the Lord, and we
shall see where He takes us J
I can say that this is one of the most beautiful seasons. I can hardly believe
it is mine to live!
Summer jobs are another cause for celebration. I worked at Spring
School and really enjoyed meeting the new students, hosting coffee times, as
well as the administration involved beforehand. International students are now
allowed to work off campus and the timing is perfect: I was granted an
innkeeper position at a Bed & Breakfast for the rest of the summer.
#dreamscomingtrue . I have dreamed of owning my own B&B in the future!
Needless to say, I love the work, and this is just the beginning.
What more can I say? Not all is sunshine and roses. We were saddened by
the passing of a dear friend and a friend’s mom earlier this year. Life really
seems to be a mixture of laughter and tears. While we live it, we will hold
fast to the One who grants hope and life and freedom. He is here and He is
enough.
