So, school's out and with it has come a time of detox. A time of cleansing my body of a lot of crap. I should be thankful for the opportunity to have the time to do this. The process has just begun and it's not too much fun right now. I've felt called to take this week and just reflect majorly in quiet and alone, and not do too much of anything else. I'll be the first to admit I've failed miserably at this, because I know it's going to be uncomfortable to think and process through a lot of stuff. But I need to. I hope I can listen.

Despite my escape, thoughts have already come to my head...trying to probe me into reflection and quiet. As I process through stuff, I might write some stuff on here, but for now, here's some things on my mind:

-How can you be "okay" in a busy or slow-paced time of life, and where does personality take a part in it?

-Feeding of the soul with consistent community life together.

-How to know as a teacher, how to not make school everything, yet knowing that the relationships and time with children are opportunities God's giving you each day. (I've struggled so much with this one. )

-What things could intentionally be done to build our community closer and closer?

-How can we be intentionally outwardly focused, within the context of relationship and what is natural?

I want to rush and God's asking me to go slow. Pray for my spirit to say "yes, Lord, take me where You will."

I love you all. Peace to you tonight.
