Goodbye August.
It’s the last day of August. It just hit me. September is coming, which means cooler weather will be on it’s way with bonfires, hot tea, and fall attire. These are a few of my favorite things. (The Sound of Music reference is for my mom.) A lot has happened in the past month.
School: It’s going great, I enjoy most of my classes, well, when I say most I mean 3 of the 6. But what I have really enjoyed is the fellowship and community that has continued to grow. I live off campus in a cool house with some great guys and it has made the stress of school far less severe.
Church: Wiregrass is still great, I’m thankful God has given me a place to serve and grow while I’m at school. I’m now helping with an 8th grade guys small group with my roommate Daniel and they are a handful, but a lot of fun to work with.
Work: I enjoy being back at work, even the days I don’t feel like going, like yesterday. I got to see an incredible thing last night. A woman I work with who doesn’t have a very clear understanding of God reached out to a woman in need and showed compassion to a lady and her family by buying her food. It’s incredible to see ‘non-churchgoers’ doing things like this. My friend Chelsea and I were able to have a cool conversation with her afterwards. God is good.
Life: The hardest thing for me right now is how much I miss the people of Beaches Chapel. God really blessed me with incredible people there. I think about them constantly and often wish I was at home to be apart of their lives. But I have come to an understanding that God has me here at school for a reason and I must be faithful to where I am now. And though I may be separated geographically from them, technology has allowed me to stay in touch. Plus I’ll be at home this weekend and get to see them a lot. It will be a blessing.
If you’ve gotten this far, thanks for reading my ramblings. I hope you are having a good end of summer/beginning of fall. Be blessed.
Brian
