So I have given in and joined the blogging world. I have been telling everyone that I would try to keep them updated on my events in England and I thought that a blog would be the best way to do that. Now, I can feel like I am still connected with everyone while still thousands of miles away. To be honest, I don't really know what to write quite yet because I want to be funny and witty but nothing funny or witty has happened to me recently. Plus, when Gilmore Girls is on TV, I always feel inadequate to their wit and social references!
Speaking of witty, I called Aszia and asked her to come up with a witty title for my blog page. She is the best at catch phrases and idioms. I was thinking something cute like "epistle from England" or "the London times" (see why I needed Aszia's help). But when I took a second to really think about what I hope my time is like in England, I realized that I really just want it to be a time when I realize how much bigger and greater my God is than I make him out to be. I am going to a completely different country to do my student teaching. I am hoping that I will realize that God is bigger than the little box that I put him in. He is working in England. His hand is all over Europe (churches, cathedrals, etc.) and I am going to see it first hand. But most of all, I really feel that God has a big plan for me and England is part of that plan. I am praying the my time there is well spent to his glory. I love it in Romans when it says:
" Oh, the depths of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!
Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?
Who has ever given to God that God should repay him?
For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the
glory forever! Amen."- Romans 11:33-36
I hope that my time in England reflects this thought. That is my prayer. And I will appreciate all of your prayers while I am over there.
I can't wait to follow your adventure!!
