Hard to believe summer is over and September is here. August was a good and fruitful month...completed my WMF staff application, completed my spiritual direction work for The Journey, finished reading a few books (Submerge, Irresistible Revolution, Announcing the Reign of God), started a process of Ignition Spiritual Exercises, finished clearing out my uncle's storage unit, made some money on ebay, and shared some good times with family and friends throughout the month.
Tomorrow (September 1) I leave for a week in Romania. Looking forward to the time with the WMF community there. Lots to learn and glean from them in how they share life together! From Romania it is straight to Toronto to visit my sister, bro-in-law, nieces, and nephew! I'll return back home on September 24 to start the next phase of life at home, as I prepare for Argentina by February 1.
I'll try and blog from Romania when I can. Otherwise, watch for the highlight reel from Toronto.
I'll close with The Message paraphrase of familiar Psalm 23. These couple verses have encouraged me recently, as I consider God's extravagant goodness....
“True to your word, you let me catch my breath and send me in the right direction…Your beauty and love chase after me every day of my life. I’m back home in the house of God for the rest of my life" ~Psalm 23:3, 6
