Here I am, back at Covenant after an incredible fall break that included staying at Natalie and Josh's house 2 nights as well as going to GUATEMALA for 5 days!!! I can't express the incredible richness and sweetness of that time-- It was so good and necessary for my soul. Just to soak in my family, see new beautiful sights like Antigua and the Presidential Palace, have cozy conversations in Kara's homey apartment... I loved it.
It was hard to drive back to school and have an overwhelming load of homework dumped on my head as well as class to go that same day. I told Mom on the phone that I was tired of it already and she told me to pray for a miracle. I feel a miracle in my heart as God once again gives me strength and motivation that I don't have. I am so grateful for this Sunday afternoon in front of me to rest and reflect... I am about to go for a hike with Mary Grace in the brilliant sunshine and sit and read and write for a while.
Let me explain the title of this blog! I feel like "Life in Process" is appropriate because I am always processing something huge in my head and heart as well as externally (aren't we all?), and now I can let you all be a part of it :).
Right now I am processing what it means
to REST in God
to find LIFE in Him
to walk INTIMATELY with Him
I'm also processing what it means to come back to this country again. I find myself thinking negatively about the States -- still -- after it seems like I should have already adjusted back and consider this my country now. I feel life in learning and discovering new things, and I have so much of the world that I want to have the chance to explore! Natalie reminded me the other night that we can never know when one season of life will be over, so all the more reason to dig in and enjoy every stage. Life is too rich!
Kara and her cooking is so delightfully inspiring...
Packing into the car for our trip to Antigua!
I love my Daddy <3
Con los cuñados ;)
One of my favorites... I like to think that the windows of my soul are also stained glass.
