Update

Life has been CRAZY full!  Day to day goodness at the INN keeps me checking my planner and poppin' from one cup of coffee to the next.  Meeting people, nurturing friendships with those I love, contemplating what's next, and just living out the typical elements of life create both a challenge and a passion.  I wouldn't trade this time of life for the world.

I have been anxious about a lot of things lately.  I never really want to go home and sit on my couch but I desire a place to sit and rest.  I feel a sense of needing to have some time alone and focus on God and my relationship with him, but I am afraid to walk alone.  New relationships call for new action, new realizations call for me to step up, fresh perspective calls for me to step back.  I have a friend who talks about the different ways we live in tension a lot - more than ever I have begun to experience what he talks about.  

New challenges have begun as well.  On Monday morning Sarah, Lisa, and I are going to tackle a 28 day detox.  It's going to be AWESOME.  I'm really excited about doing something good for my body.  And along with the detox I'm excited to do something for my soul and faith as well.  The INNterns have decided to take on the spiritual discipline of prayer.  We are going to gather together 15 minutes early every morning to pray for the Spirit to move through us, through the INN, through student leaders, and through our beautiful Bellingham.  I'm excited to see what God does with these intentional acts.

Well, off to a long weekend.  Perhaps the sun will shine and my longboard will leave the office and roll me down the sidewalks by the marina.  Until next time, blessings.
