Although I have been home from Cortez for nearly two months, I just now am getting the chance to post. That in itself is a good indication of how things are going back in Michigan. Quite splendid, I must say :)When voyaging home, I was filled with excitement seeing the edge of Lake Michigan...it is amazing the things I took for granted before leaving for a while. I have come to appreciate the beauty of this state since being home, I was anxious to get to the beach as soon as possible. My sister and I were able to take a walk out to the pier within the first week of my return.
Unfortunately, summer faded soon after setting my feet back on Michigan soil. School is now in full swing. Oh joy? It is a joy to be back with friends and with school comes another full year of campus ministries events; all of which have proved to be very fulfilling. I joined the prayer team this year which is in many ways therapeutic. Taking 17 credits this semester, working, and being social can make for days that are more than full. Having an hour to bring things back into perspective is wonderful. Every day, I search for moments to be still and breathe. Realizing that God is in the craziness around me and yearns for me to listen for his subtle voice amidst it all.
I hope you too can find those moments to breathe and enjoy the journey.
Enjoy life.
Anna
