Back again.

I've been so horrible about updating this thing. I had these wonderful intentions to update people throughout the spring quarter on what I was learning and feeling. It's now the first week of October. The spring quarter was definitely an experience. The summer held needed rest, and to discern if seminary was really the right thing for me. I desperately wanted to be Jonah, hop on the ships of Tarsus and sail away from my responsibility. The same week I was having thoughts running away from my responsibilities, the pastor at my church gave a sermon. On Jonah. And the whale. Well if that's not a bullhorn, I don't know what is.

So I find myself back at Fuller, but conflicted. Part of this walk has been lonely. I feel like there's a bit more than a God-shaped hole in my heart. I'm taking the chance to open myself up, trying to get to know more people, making myself a bit more vulnerable. I just didn't realize how scary it would be. The comfort I do find is the support of my family and friends. And God, even if I'm a terrible Biblical Greek student.
