in retrospect.

this year has been different so far.  in both good and bad ways.  different people, different responsibilities, different location...the location is DEFINITELY a lot better, though i miss being in the city of philadelphia.  in other ways, it is the same.  students, adults, staff...all have needs that can only be met by Christ alone.  students go through trials and difficulties.  staffers fall in love with ministry and their city and sites.  it's comforting that though the people alongside me, and the theme and scenery, differ....there is reassurance that ministry is always ministry...and i like that a whole lot.

i'm finding that i'm warming up to differences. in less than two months, my life is going to change drastically.  i'm going to be in a new state, with new people, doing different things.  as scary as that is, i think i'm ready, and i think i'll be okay...
