so…I’ve been posting some of the short papers I’m writing for Values and Vocations class, along with some other thoughts for the school part of this semester. They are on a different blog – www.discerninginchicago.blogspot.com
if anyone is interested.

I’m off to bed… sleeping early and rising before the sun. The world really smells better before it wakes up. I think I might walk on the lake before I have to go to class. But, then again, who knows where the Lord will direct my steps? Last week I met Sisco. This week? I don’t know. But I do know that my grandma is praying for me… and I think that’s why I feel so safe. God is using the powerful prayers of His people – so many blessings!

Oh, and today I am now friends with a beautiful sister from Indianapolis. Her spirit is refreshing and full of energy. I only just met her, but I know she has much to teach me … I am hoping ours is a friendship of the sweet-smelling kind.
