MMMM… coffee. I’m sitting here at the “Crazy Goat,” a local Coffee shop with happy baristas, on my day off from reality. I love these days where you can just sit, relax, and ponder where your life is. Ya know? Do you do that? If not, I recommend finding a favorite place, taking a couple hours, and letting your mind think of where you have come from to where you are now in life. A year ago I had returned from a 3 month adventure to the small, but rich green country of Costa Rica. Today, I sit sipping 3 autumn flavored coffees in Columbus, Ohio and yes I am jittery. I’m typing faster than normal with a smile on my face, partly due to the coffee, but also in large part to where I’m at in my life. Oh how life is interesting. It has been 4 months now here in the vibrant Columbus, Ohio. I am delighted to report that God has provided me with a great family to do life with, a supportive and out of the box job, and a vibrant “life group”to share struggles, joys, and cards, the competitive kind, not the Hallmark kind.
On this fresh October 1st I am thankful. I am thankful mostly today for a God who pursues, uses, and refines us. I am insecure, prideful, and doubting, but God still pursues me. Through my weakness and insecurities my Father has provided me with a family of support. I have a couple shout outs to people God has allowed me to do life with these past 4 months. Kanako, Abby, Francisco, Sophia, Isa, Alex, Xavier, John, Brian, Lisa, Catalyst Clan, Diane, Mcgregor’s, Warehem’s, Carey’s, Mom and Dad, Bridgescape staff, Jill, and of course Jono.
My heart is filled with gratitude by the kind hospitality, listening ears, and cards played. I am overwhelmed with gratitude.
