Fall and School


I was at the grocery store yesterday and a clerk reminded me that Sunday is the last day of Summer. The weather has already started the process as I observed leaves changing on my bike path. I love how each season has so much to offer. The same route can look so different depending on the month. I love God's creativity.

I sent out two e-mails for internship possibilities about a month and a half ago. Last night I heard from both of them, saying yes or it is a strong possibility. The wilderness therapy internship (for my clinical requirements) will need some flexibility from my advisor, so please pray! I am very excited!! There may also be another possibility in Utah that I became aware of last night as well.

Last night I joined a prayer group and it was a much different experience than I anticipated, in a great way! It was refreshing to be with people who love Jesus, are willing to be authentic, and come together to share with each other. I know this happens in many places, yet it hasn't been part of my community for some time. I was also able to re-connect with my invitee which was rejuvenating to talk about life, God and our brokenness without false pretenses.

I love how God can surprise us in many ways, sometimes in one day, other times in mere moments. How beautifully complex is this journey we call life!

Oh, I just am about to cry reading that one. I am so happy about all the possiblities that God has opened up for you- in school and community. Authentic community is priceless, and I miss experiencing it with you like we used to. Yay for great surprises form God!
