Starless. Inky-blackness. Stormy sky. The perfect run. Yes, I just went on the most exhilarating run. It was peaceful, yet rejuvenating. The starless night sky hovered above with occasional storm clouds that would pass over, bringing a gentle cool breeze across my path. The air smelled fresh. It felt good to suck it into my lungs and then let it course through my muscles as I extended my stride and ran. I think this is what people who experience "runner's high" experience on a daily basis--I just experienced it. What a perfect end to a wonderful day.
Earlier this afternoon I met with a lady in my church, Denise, who has been discipling/mentoring me. We had a wonderful time of fellowship and I am looking forward to a few more of these before I pick up and leave 'good ole richmond.'
Spent some time at the coffee shop, reading Pride and Prejudice and crocheting, while Jordan did some homework. What a fab afternoon. I am glad I was able to spend some time with her. I sure have missed seeing her as frequently as I use to.
Yesterday, I had lunch with a couple from a church, of which I have attended off and on. It was neat to receive words of encouragement from them as I head off for six months to complete my level II fieldwork in Georgia and Florida--woo hoo! They also hooked me up with a church that I plan on checking out in Florida. It's amazing how this concern had been weighing heavily on my heart the past few weeks, but all doubts dissipated after chatting with them. What an answer to prayer. What is even more encouraging is that after talking to Denise today she suggested a few churches in Georgia, close to where I will be staying. Shoo wee God is good.
Tomorrow is my last day working with Alistair, and then he and his family leave for Taiwpa for two months. I have thoroughly enjoyed the time I have spent with him this semester, and am so thankful for the challenges and rewards that have come from this divine job opportunity! Regardless, I will miss my wittle man.
Off to bed for some much needed and desired shut-eye. <3
