Well everybody - I made it.
"...let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us." Hebrews 12:1
My last night home between packing a huge pile of to dos I managed to get only 2 1/2 hours of sleep! A sorry way to start a summer I must say. But God is good and my packing crisis cleared and I accomplished the "absolutely must dos" before I left. Yesterday afternoon was spent meeting new people and greeting "old" ones.
I'm going to be honest and admit that it was hard to be here yesterday and that though I'm doing better I'm still in the process of adjusting. It is a surreal feeling to be back here in a place so familiar, yet so far away from everything else I know, again for the whole summer. I can't believe it's already been a year! After I first arrived I just wished to go home - the summer ahead looks hard, not because there's something especially difficult about this summer, but because God wants me to give my all and I've been resisting. It didn't help that upon arrival I was already missing people from home, but that was no excuse and before the staff meeting I had spent sometime reading my Bible, in prayer and ready to try.
So I'm off to a jogging start. My prayer for myself, and something I hope you will lift up yourself, is that I'll start running. I'm tired, but I need to run - full fledged run without abandon. May I throw off my sin of selfishness and everything else that so easily entangles and may I RUN.
Have a great morning everyone - I'm off to breakfast!
