goodnight moon

Hey there guys. I am working on a "proper" update tomorrow. For now though...
I think I am adjusting back to the life lay before me in Perth.
A life that includes plenty of morning tea.
A life that includes baby sitting nearly every Sunday night.
A life that includes a revolving front door and a french press that can't be cleaned fast enough.
A life that includes dreading letting my feet touch the wood floor each morning.
A life that includes sitting with people from the nations at each meal.
A life that includes swallowing my pride and asking "What is your name? I have forgotten...again."
A life that includes commercial mops and disinfectant that dries only to smell like pee.
I am learning...that it is different...that it is okay for me to have free time...that G*d will show me how to use it and be wise with it, if I ask. There is adventure unfolding. I am being stretched. Hmmm...I like doing posts like this, don't I? I think my posts end up like when I feel like I have a lot to say but I don't know how to say it.

I am enjoying my last week of being 21.

My friend was epilating her legs while I was typing this and now she just turned it off...my ears are ringing. I think that machine was used in Medieval times for torture.

Cheers!

new school. new schedule.

hi guys. the school started yesterday, the fourth of july, what a celebration!
i just spent some time tonight long boarding outside my aussie home. it feels like it is filling my snowboard love tank. i'm loving it, and i don't need snow pants to do it.
my friend lent me his board for the week while he is away at a youth camp. such an unexpected blessing.
anyway, just a testimony to how kinesthetic activities bring euphoric joy and clear minds. i had such a great time, nearly falling off, talking to dad, jumping ship, watching cars, riding...
I am enjoying a bit more laid back schedule, a more 8ish-7ish day than outreach or staffing a school can be. oh man G*d is good.
