Learn to teach. Follow to lead. Live to show the Way. Love. just love.
Months pass. The wonderings begin. where to next? Oh how i miss so many at home and oh how i will miss those here. My head has been spinning with thoughts, frustrations, questions. We stop growing, we stop learning, we stop living when we stop asking questions.
Life is a curious thing. So filled with ugliness and beauty, sorrow and joy, weeping and laughter. we live in the tension. we live in the in between. it is in the valley between the mountains where things grow. Here, wine grapes. I live at one end of the Rhone Valley. Known for its red wine... this is a beautiful thing. but that is besides the point. the point is this: today i went for a walk. the mountains were covered with snow filled clouds. but the valley shown magnificently clear. i was amazed at how green the grass in the valley shone, spring is near. the sign of new life. the sign of hope. i continued walking to the small, and by small i mean tiny church here in Huemoz. Out in the courtyard is a swing set with two seats that fling you graciously closer to the heavens. i sat on the taller one and in a burst of laughter and song, i sang. loud. in fact another girl staying at L'abri who is from Romania walked by and laughed along with me. it is the good life. it is a good life. life, in its essence is good.
my ponderings continue. caught somewhere between faith and doubt, i am alive. i am well.
be still. be loved.
