Although my break was just lovely - filled with family time & work - I am relieved to be back in the swing of things. I'm really accustomed to the university/residence life!! And although I could do without the immediate due dates of various assignments, school gives me something to do and anything that can keep me busy is a good thing.
I have recently joined a small group that meets on Sunday nights, here in the city. We had our first actual 'study' session last night, which I really enjoyed. We are working through Francis Chan's book, "Forgotten God - Reversing our Tragic Neglect of the Holy Spirit", along with his DVD series. The first little teaching was good - it challenged us to think about actually 'walking the walk'. How can you tell a Christian from a non-Christian? What does it mean to live with and by the Spirit? Lots of deep, unanswerable questions for us to chew on before kicking off a new week! But it was a great time, and our leader made us a fabulous home-cooked dinner which is always greatly appreciated by college students.
In other news, I've been getting ready for a 10K run at the end of March, in about 3 weeks. It's the St. Patrick's Day 10K, which completely owned me last year - it was such a bad experience that I had given up running entirely. But now I'm back, determined to run it again and to finish on a hugely positive note. However, seeing how the weather refuses to warm past -20, the prospect of this outdoor, river valley run is looking rather bleak. Fingers crossed for a rapid 3-week melting spree!
Happy Monday!
