Ok, so you'd think at this juncture in life I would have said Hasta la Vista to the habits of a student. Not so. Here I am, in Antigua sitting at a table for two with a whiteboard, the smell of dry-erase markers, and a stack of books. My teacher has vacated the premises and so I study. I'm finding a little more determination knowing the benefits that sit on the other side of this mountain of language, dreaming about the possibilities.
I'm actually feeling quite blessed (though I don't like that word, feels overused and lacks a certain sufficiency to how this truly feels, but alas…). Upon entering this country, I knew what to expect. I was aware that I'd have a LOT of time to think and process and analyze and drive myself crazy (without the help of others, thank you!). And so this is where I land, feeling favored. Not favored above others, but favored in light of this time and reflecting. February has been a full month. January and February brought life and liveliness, love and lots of laughter-admittedly, with a few intermittent tears. A lot of prayer, a lot of trust, a lot of believing beauty for ashes AND the opportunity to be a witness to those promises from Isaiah.
He is GOOD.
So we move on. March. I'm smiling.
Maybe my next post will be in Spanish? Yeah, no!
