School has started and is now in full force, I'm still working part time, and have started an internship at the UNM hospital in their public affairs department... it's going to be a busy semester! It's fantastic to have a routine back, and even more fantastic that this is my last year of school (hopefully!). I can't believe how quickly college is going by, and my life in general. Things have gotten so busy lately. I feel so tired all the time, but am always wanting to add "one more" thing to my schedule... how very practical. I was able to talk with 3 of the amazing girls I went to Namibia with this morning and hear how life back in the states is going for each of them. It reminds me of how much I miss them and how much the Lord worked in our individual hearts and our friendships with one another over the short weeks we were together. I can't wait to hear from them again, and hopefully see them again! To share the precious community that was so cherished while we were in Africa. At the same time though, I feel the Lord reminding me that He is my All in All. No person or group of people at home or across the country could take His place, could satisfy like He does. As life has gotten a little more hectic with being back to school and continuing to help with family things and work as well, it's occurred to me how skewed I allow my priorities to become without even noticing. I'm grateful to have a God who graciously and lovingly takes my hand and pulls me back to Him, especially when I've so carelessly put Him on the back burner of my life as things get busy... a bad habit I've develop over the last few years. BUT He is always faithful to call me back to Him.
"Then I will win her back once again. I will lead her into the desert and speak tenderly to her there." Hosea 2:14
What an amazing Savior.
