I've been trying hard to "educate myself" recently. Read better books, spend more time looking at the news and less time watching T.V. Remembering that the beauty in people far surpasses anything I could dream up during a nap and that while the sun will come out tomorrow it’s out today and I should enjoy it.
I’m working to not overwhelm myself with all I don’t know, and instead focus on the new things I learn each day (today, for instance, I learned that Uganda’s New Vision newspaper has a website, that Brittany has a friend Elsa to pray for, that I can go 3 miles on an elliptical machine and about how mustard was viewed in Jesus’ time and exactly how revolutionary the idea of the kingdom of heaven being like a mustard seed really was… I really want to take a class on Jewish culture during the early church). I’m trying to figure out how to incorporate true community into my life and remembering that the people in my family are a pretty cool bunch to hang out with.
It’s pretty exciting. How huge the world is, how much there is to see and do, how many things there are to learn, people there are to love, moments there are to shape you.
And even though the “future” seems scarily vague and I’m not looking forward to 8 hours of data entry tomorrow… I’m very excited to see exactly what the day holds.
