Currently Listening I See Things Upside Down By Derek Webb see related

ya know, I'm glad to be here after all...  if only to take it all in still, as only Geneva can offer.

and there's a lot more I have to do here.
there's so much more that I'm already learning.
there's really a lot that ties me to people and this place.

I am myself here at college -
my growing self that I am satisfied with.
(guess that counts for a lot)

Estoy pensando en lugares distantes.

So I can't do this school thing anymore.  My brain has no desire to focus on schoolwork, and I'm already behind...  I can only think of the world, its needs, and what I may be able to do.  It's already in the mode of having a job and ministry, of moving beyond this self-bound existence called college, of letting life teach me outside the classroom...  There's so much of me that wonders how I'll get through the year ahead, and I'm consumed with what will come after graduation.

I'm at the doorway, answering the knock...

If only you could know the tremendous thoughts in my head, prayers the Lord has answered, and new adventures I am on.  I can't even conceive it myself let alone try to describe it all!  But He is calling, and I'm answering for once.  I'm not going to lose this chance at risk and blessing, brokenness and beauty...  It's a wonderful combination of the tough with the joy.  I never thought I'd see myself where I am now, and I never thought I'd say it but "bring it on."

Welcome in.
