10 days ago I was between semesters and bored. I can't even imagine that feeling right now. I am exhausted and amazed at how much has squeezed into the last week and a half. More craziness to come, I know. After a subdued Spring, I think this crazy time is good preparation for student teaching in the fall, my first years teaching, eventually trying to have a family...
I will go back and post more about the craziness of the past days. For today, though, I just want to recognize the beauty of answered prayers. I prayed that our home would be a place to offer hospitality to others. It has been a random stopping ground for a few people this week who met with an unexpected need for a place to be. I prayed that I would be able to make more connections. In the past few weeks I have met at least 10 new people in the area and the aftermath of a big storm brought us closer together. I prayed for a ministry I could be a part of, and one fell into my lap. When I first heard about it, I knew that was for me.
There has been bad stuff mixed in with the good, hard stuff mixed in with the easy. I am thankful for those things, too, because while the good things are fun, it has been the harder stuff that has led me to some tender places with God, family, and friends.
