It has been well over a month since I have updated my blog. Here is an update: God is good. God is so good and He gives me well over the limit of what I actually deserve.
Since I blogged last, I was able to fly home to Cincinnati for three wonderful weeks. I tell you what, I do love living here in Puerto Rico, but there is NO place like home. Home was what I needed. My family, my friends. Odd how a bit of my decision to move to Puerto Rico almost felt like an escape, and then to return again was also a similar feeling. Perhaps leaving is what I needed to realize how much I actually do love and appreciate home. In my Life Plan, I will return to live, teach, and minister in Cincinnati. It feels right, but I never know what God has in store. Who does? (p.s. If you've figured it out, pass it on) However, I am the type of person who, let's be honest, over analyzes basically everything, and once I know what I am doing right now, I can't stop obsessing over the next step.
I didn't make any resolutions for the new year, but perhaps it should be to stop obsessing over the future and focus on the "here and now." So I am. And what is the "here and now?" Well, it's 22 students that I have promised to love and educate. It's a church that I have promised to serve in. It's a group of people here who have decided to love and support me just because they can. I'd say that God has indeed blessed me beyond what I deserve right now.
