most people who know about our trip to chicago also know that our plans have changed slightly- at least where i am concerned. as i explained, or at least attempted, in my last post about chicago is why we are going. i communicated some of my hesitations and unrest about going for a year. i had been trying to shake the feeling by talking to others about it and by chalking it up to fear. however, after talking to others, i grew more discouraged. finally, i talked with holly and casey, my two beautiful friends with whom i am making the journey. here's the change- i will be returning at the end of august instead of next may. i have a strong desire for a home, for stability, for a community. and that is why i will be returning early.
when i return, my hope is that i will be able to move into east atlanta and live as a small community with people whom i love dearly. there is a community of people there who love each other and love their neighbors, but most of all, desire to please the Lord. if i am unable to move in there, i will seek to be content with living where i can, with whom i can, doing what i can.
there are the huge details of where i will live and where i will work, as well as when i can enter graduate school. perhaps i should be more worried about these details, but for the time being, i simply am not. ok, i am sort of.
that's all for now. i will post our chicago letter later. i ask kindly, yet pleadingly, for your prayers. now and as we set out on our trip. thank you.
