Yesterday was my last scheduled appointment with my counselor. As we talked over the phone, I had this incredible sense that this leg of the journey was coming to a close. God has helped me to establish myself in Vancouver now and I no longer need his particular care and guidance. It's as if I have come out of the ICU because my condition has stabilized.
It's been almost a year since Tim surprised me with a ring and got a huge ball of changes rolling. I'm glad to say, I think the ball has finally stopped rolling. I realized the other day that I'm finally able to rest. Even though I'm running our household and working part time, I would dare to say that I'm resting better now than any other time in my past. At the very least, for the first time since graduating from high school (that's nine years!), I am not packing up my room for the summer or moving to another "home" this fall.
It's not that there are no more changes. There are. I just enrolled in a 2-year Master's level Spiritual Formation program through a local theological college that starts in June. But I think this change will be an enriching experience. In a way, I can see God continuing His ministry of rebuilding my soul through the people I will encounter through this program.
So there are endings. And there are beginnings. And from where I stand right now, I think the darkest part of the valley is behind me. (At least this time around!)

Howz it goin? I still read this blog of yours cuz I'm curious to read about the spiritual journeys of those rare individuals I know who go all out for God =)
Thanks for your support and advice giving for me in EA.
A spiritual formation program? Yo man, I'm curious! I love that spiritual formation stuff, I actually applied some of it this year and it really works! When you enroll in it, could you tell me what reading material you guys use for your course? I'm curious!
Hope you're doing well.
