i had the chance to sit down with martha smallwood at westlink today. i knew it was going to be a good meeting, but i was surprised in the end with how peaceful i felt. i wouldn't expect to leave a meeting with someone feeling at ease, but that's exactly what happened.
not only was i able to share where i've been, where i'm headed now, and how i could grow in the future, but i also felt challenged and encouraged through our entire discussion of what i will be doing and how westlink will be able to support me in whatever fashion.
to boot, we were able to sit down with a couple of ladies from the church who are faithful to pray weekly (and i'm sure more) for the body. i've never thought much of anointing or praying blessings on others, but spending just the few minutes in prayer together was a treat. the meaning of their words and the encouragement that filled me are hard to describe.
sometimes i sit anxiously, not sure if i will make it in jena (in many ways) or if it will really be the best thing for me now, but coming home from church tonight i felt a strong peace in my heart about the path i am on.
may i walk the path by the light i see.
.jrs.
