A long semester...

I know, I know. I haven't written here in months. I've been meaning to... it's been hard.

This has been a surprisingly difficult semester in a ton of completely unexpected ways. Being home has given me the chance to begin to process everything that has happened and begin to heal from it. I have also finally been able to think about some theological issues I've been questioning and will soon get the chance to actually dialogue with someone about them. I have been so homesick this semester, and am glad to be home so that I can relax and face what needs to be faced instead of continuing to push it aside because I have no time or energy to deal with it.

Now I have that time and energy, and will be able to head back to Gordon refreshed because hopefully by January 16 I will have had enough time to put myself back together. This is my chance to let God take me apart, break me down, test me and then put me back together in a place I am safe and whole. Have your way Lord, have your way. You're the Potter, I'm the clay.
