i ADORE holidays, specifically long weekends. this is definitely a recovery weekend for me and most students at wheaton. we've already been practically pummeled with homework and activities and meetings, and now it's time to chill. jade and i went to the french market this morning -- if you haven't visited the outdoors lately, STOP READING THIS AND GO OUTSIDE! the prairie path is beautiful, and the weather is perfect. we don't belong indoors on days like this!
i feel like the Lord has really been speaking to me about priorities and what is eternally valuable lately. "ruthlessly eliminate hurry" -- right, LBC peeps? at the end of this life, what will matter? that we knew Christ and proclaimed his glory unashamedly. i know, i know, there is value in the things i am learning at wheaton. they'll equip me to be a more responsible agent of change in the future (hopefully). that said, i so often get the means and the ends and the overarching picture mixed up.
"i am still confident of this: i will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." (ps 27:13-14)

thanks for sharing your wisdom...good stuff! love ya, Renee
You are wise beyond your years. Enjoy the break!
Sonne is definitely different, though I wouldn't say that it's strange; that would be unfair. The new staff are great. We have 2 new male RAs that are a lot of fun and a great addition to the dorm. We played floor soccer this afternoon, and in about an hour we will have dorm devotions. Does that bring back memories? There might be photos some time soon... It's too bad that I didn't get to see you this summer... Oh well.
Take care,
~Tim.
