Restless child.


 My body is feeling better- more acclimated.
My heart is feeling lonely, but it’s not for lack of excellent community. I’m not sure how to describe it (ni en ingles o espanol).
My spirit is comforted. Psalms 18:1 lets my cheeks be wet this morning.
My mind is overwhelmed as if it is not in sync with the rest of me.

I’m nervous about starting school again. But that’s why I came here. And I do want to do this (I just have to remind myself… Discipline and work are never fun, but the benefits vale la pena).

Another one off the bucket list.
I’ve been here for a week now. The honeymoon phase is over, but I’m still very content.

I’ve got the joy of the Lord, a fraction of the weight of the world, and much support. My family here also supports me and is very encouraging. Mamá G brings  good perspective especially when I am lost in my own thoughts.  I appreciate every Twitter, facebook message, and email I have been sent. I read them over and over again like a kid feasting on a jolly rancher. My mouth is sticky with the sweetness of your words.

Much love,

Your faith is an inspiration. I'm praying for you and everyone you may come in contact with. May you find His peace in the midst of your day, in the littlest things. In the face of a child...Love you friend!
