I don't think, therefore I am not?
Check out this cool photo I took:
Anyways!
You might think that with how often I mention how busy I am, I'd have lots to report. But here I am... coming up blank.
Uhhhhh, stuff happened this past month, I guess.
Looking back, I started this semester with the attitude that I would just power through. I accepted that it would be hard, and decided to push through every challenge with PURE. RAW. WILLPOWER.
What I'm realizing now is that in October I accidentally turned off a certain part of my brain—the part of my brain that processes what's happening to me and around me. I decided that I didn't need to think, I just needed to do.
But now I can't think of any stories to tell, reflecting hurts my head, and I don't know what to write about.
If you asked me what God did down here in October, I'd have a hard time telling you—because I last month I hardly slowed down enough to give it any thought!
My supervisor encouraged me to be more intentional about how I rest. Good idea! I need to chill out and open both my eyes and heart to reflect on the wonderful moments happening right in front of me.
Take the photo I showed you at the beginning, for example. At four years old, that little girl is being taught in her classroom here at Doulos to serve others, and she's being given real opportunities to practice it. And so are the rest of her classmates...
I definitely know God is good, but it's time to slow down, look around, and really know He is.
