Life has been interesting as of late. It's hard to believe that February has almost officially come and gone. I can't quite grasp the fact that we are more than a third of the way through the Spring semester. In fact midterm grades are due to the registrars office on March 3rd. And if you've heard from me lately you know that I am now a stand in professor for Latin American History here at my little college in rural GA. It's a rather long story, if you want the details email me.
All that to say my time is not so free anymore. I feel pretty overwhelmed by the notion that I'm now responsible for effectively conveying the historical significance of a region that is oft misunderstood in our world. I feel inadequate to the task, but feelings aside I really think I'll be okay.
In other venues of my life I continue to marinate in patience. Trying to grasp what it means and how it works itself out practically in my life on a day to day basis. It's proving to be more taxing that I ever could have imagined, but I continue to be humbled by the many ways that God continues to extend grace to me through my friends and family. Regardless of the outcome God has been teaching me many things and for those experiences and ponderings I'm thankful!
This morning turning the corner to my street after my morning walk I saw three very large deer dash across 29. It was a sight! Glad they didn't damage any on coming cars. Very neat.
Oh and last week when the lunar eclipse graced the sky, my goodness was I overwhelmed with gratefulness for my current residence. I sat in the yard wrapped in a blanket, drinking coffee and just soaking the moon in with hardly any light pollution it was AMAZING!!
It is entirely too late and I need to be in bed, like 40 minutes ago.
Thanks for reading my ramblings.
