-Tuesday night bible study at Lisa Werner's house.
-My birthday this past Wednesday. I felt so incredibly loved by God from the moment I woke up to when I fell asleep. I had a 12-hour clinical that day on the inpatient psych unit but Sam and I have been joking that I can easily use this in a 'two truths and a lie' game.
Truth: I spent my 25th birthday on a lock-down psych unit at the hospital.
BUT! It only gets better because during group therapy, the occupational therapist led us in a form of tai chi and we did various movements focusing on our breathing. She also had us massage our heads.
Truth: I spent my 25th birthday on a lock-down psych unit at the hospital doing tai chi.
Gonna stow this one away with my other crazy truths.
Afterwards, I met up with some friends from school at Sultan's Market and we sat on the patio and then went to Handlebar afterwards and sat on the patio for dessert. Mae and Emilou started singing happy birthday to me, and the people sitting around us all joined in and it was one big festive birthday song. Ha ha!
I think the best part was that on Tuesday, my dad texted me saying happy birthday. Lord, thank you.
All in all, such a wonderful way to begin my 25th.
-Yesterday, I woke up to an email from Katie, a missionary who New Community Covenant Church supports. She and her family live in Columbia, and in the email (I've been in communication with them for a few months now), she invited me to come stay with them next month. Lord, THANK YOU! I have been praying for opportunities to get my toes wet in the mission field and seeing that I'll be on break next month, it seems that he has opened this door for me to go help out and simply love on Katie and her family. I went to small group last night, and as we were praying, I saw an image of a stoplight and the green light was on. Truly, I feel like the timing is right for me to go.
*Edit, I bought my tickets today and will be going next month from August 19 - August 28! Columbia, here I come.
-Thankful for small group and for everyone I've gotten to know. Thankful for Matt's hospitality and for his joy and love for food (and also for feeding us restaurant worthy food).
All in all, life is a whirlwind right now and my heart is full.
