As is the trend, I am either traveling or reading a lot; both major causes for a lack of content on my blog…
Both are true. I have been reading a lot… and for those who have known me for a long time, you know that reading at all is a major change, but, it is stifling how much I have been reading and even the pace at which I have been reading. I have been caught in a trap though, I read these books that reference other books and then I want to read them as well and it seems as though it will be never-ending…
Last week I traveled to Nashville, my home, but not my home now, which made the trip a bit surreal. A word that I have been using a good bit lately, because it is appropriate. i.e. I had a conversation with a guy that was surreal. This guy was an 18 year old college freshman who is studying philosophy, which makes me jealous that I didn’t think to go that route when I was his age. It was a great conversation about school and what he wanted to do with his life. The surreal part is that the last time we talked he was probably sitting on my lap because he was 8 the last time that I saw him. I know that I have changed a good bit in 10 years away, but, his 10 years has been significant. Surreal.
I am really anxious for the summer to get here and the staff part of my job to get fully underway.
I have also been realizing that I am really horrible and realizing when God is being amazing. I prayed about some financial woes and thought, okay, I am not going to think about this anymore. And then God goes ahead and shows up bigtime… and I forget to rejoice… well at least not immediately… when will I get better and it happen immediately? soon?
Hope you are all well and know that my internet accessibility is limited at best so be patient, but please keep coming around…
