life as I know it.
Hey guys
I know it hasn't been forever since I posted, but things are moving and shaking, and you're my family and I love you, so I want to keep you updated.
I'm going to Briercrest. It was basically the only place I knew I wouldn't go. It's pretty much the one thing that was firm: I would not be going to the middle of nowhere to pursue higher education. However, while in TO, I got to re-focus a bit and I realized how me-centered my plans were...so I've been working hard on surrendering everything about my future, my plans and goals, much like Jordan me-thinks. Anyway, after I decided in my heart to turn all that over, I asked God to just tell me out-right where to go, and to tell me either through a dream or through somebody close to me. The first conversation with my mother after this prayer started with "Rob, I've been praying a lot, and as crazy as it sounds, I think God is calling you to Briercrest." As much as I dislike it, I think I had better just be obedient and find out what exactly God has for me there. I think I'm starting to come to peace with the decision...I picked my classes yesterday.
Right now I'm at camp doing renovations on the nurse's quarters/infirmary, and really, really enjoying my time away from home. God is so good. I'm living and learning, and it's a crazy adventure and I love it. I'm remembering to be joyful, and I think it's growing into a deeper appreciation of God and creation and people and relationships. I like, DESIRE scripture, it screws me up when i miss my time in it. Exciting, no?
I love you guys and I miss you, and pray like ALL THE TIME for you guys.
