It is hard to believe that October is on its way out of the year. It's the 25th people! i love it because i am counting down till school's out for the quarter. . . this is the 5th full week so i am almost halfway done. And doing well! another reason i am excited that october is almost over is because it's another month closer to DTS.
but that means it's another month closer to DTS. what am i doing? i am really going away! i got the call today from Chico saying that i was officially accepted. i grinned, and chuckled a little, but nothing really changed. i already knew i was going. this is right and this is good. i promise.
but it is strange to think about life in the community i'm leaving. is it best for them if i am not here for 5 months? are there things that God needs to teach them without me here? or is all of this just for me and my life? i refuse to believe that, especially after reading Isaiah 48.11 last week. No. God acts for His purposes and His name's sake. i just happen to be involved, that's all. along for a sweet sweet ride.
i am having fun this week.
i'm a little less tired!
i am feeling a little less weak
but not quite feeling inspired.
i am happy to be here
but happy to be going away
i am glad that God is near
no matter where i stay.
i am happy to know you
and i'm happy that you know me
as happy as the watery blue
that's happy to be in the sea.
i'm ecstatic to feel some things
i've been feeling over again
i am eternally waiting and hoping:
i don't want to stay where i've been!
for a moment i'm quietly satisfied
and this moment i'll savor with time
slowly myself is being crucified
but i am happy to die.
Christ's call is to come and die. die to self, die to the world, die to sin. what a demanding call. i am really excited for the opportunity to give it all away, forsake all i know, for the knowledge of Christ. i hope your weeks are filled with Christ's words spoken to your hearts and minds. be blessed.
peace out --
