This week has been the first week, i have been spending large amounts of time on both ministry here, and partnership development. Plenty of split time has meant i need to stay on top of my schedule which can be hard, but it keeps me learning. I’ve been learning that focus and stamina throughout the day depend on how i start the day. So I feel a little like Paul, buffeting my body, though I think my struggles are significantly less than his, I am nonetheless growing through process, and that’s nothing to complain about.

I feel i want to complain about being 5000 miles from my fiance, but again, the growth through process, and the joy of knowing her more and deeper despite the distance is invaluable, and a beautiful thing.
