i love journaling. i have the privilege of doing it once a week or so as a part of a class i am taking on spiritual formation. the last week has been somewhat hectic, lots of things going on and starting back up. its easy to lose focus an be too concerned about the program, but last wednesday when it was all said and done, i was able to connect again with one of the youth i got to know a bit this summer, and just that, if i can encourage one person, makes it all worth it. i have been suprised with myself and how much a actually sort of like school work, not all of it, but most. learning about the old testament expecially, becuase taking time out to study the bible isn't something i do often enough. so i am really looking forward to this coming year which has already started rolling. i hope that i grasp school work a bit quicker though, so i can make room in my busy schedual for the youth, for the things that are really important.
