Getting ready for school.
Tonight’s floor meeting was a prayerful and meaningful one. Hearing one another’s prayer requests highlighted the fact that I hardly knew much about anyone — much less what was going on in their lives. I was reminded to have a deeper appreciation and understanding of dormitory living — that it is not so much about the convenience and the “intercultural” experience that I receive, but really to live amongst other members of the Body, and to build one another up in love. It’s going to be a challenge. Looking at the syllabi, I feel daunted. Scared. Thrilled. Excited. All rolled into one. There is almost no time for a breather; each day has more than enough trouble for itself. And I also have student council, ministry, people, family… What will the third year of growth in SBC bring? It’s quite unbelievable, looking back, to see that I have been here for 3 years — I was 24, and now going on 27. From "early" twenties to pushing 30 — what a transition — what a blessed place for it to take place in. It’s a strange feeling, it’s a strange time, but it’s the right time. This peace of knowing that I am being in His will is really something unexplainable. Inexplicable. Joy.
That, and realising that many of my readings are available at such a cheaper price: On Kindle. Yay for savings and convenience! (Although I still prefer the touch of paper between them fingers…)
Here we go!
