Another day closes in England. Ralph and Ruth left this morning for a much needed holiday. They are such inspirational people. Through difficult life circumstances they radiate hope and faith. If you want to know what it is to be a human 'being' and not a human 'doing', these are the people to watch.
I am reading "The Shack". It is fantastic. It is stirring me and I'm actually making notes on what God is showing me through it. I was apprehensive to read it at first, but I am very glad I overcame that. If you haven't read it yet, pick up a copy.
Steph Carr took us for a curry (Indian food) tonight. It was great to see her, as always. She is full of God's Spirit and seeing miraculous things happen at work. Isn't that where we should be seeing God stuff is in the work place or really wherever the people of God are?
Hannah Glover made it here, lost luggage and all. It should arrive sometime tomorrow. I was impressed at how well she handled the stress of her trip!
We are on to Paris Monday!
I am feeling good. I still get a little foggy from time to time because of jet lag, but that is minor. Do you think I can use jet lag for an excuse at school? Just how long does jet lag effect one? I might could get a good months worth out of this one.
Being in Europe seems to strip away clutter from my mind so that I can focus on hearing God. It is a gift to be able to walk or sit and meditate on what God is saying without distraction. I guess it's part of what God is working in me for the continent. It's been that way anytime I have visited. Or maybe it's being away from a daily grind and routine that makes it easier. Either way I am grateful for the time to be quiet with Him. We will see if it is the same when I have 20 hours of class and 10 hours of homework a week.
