The Swing of Things














This is the first day of the first "normal" week here at Whitworth for us. Kyle's folks, Mark and Cindi were here for a visit last week. We had a great time celebrating my birthday, refinishing furniture, eating at fave 3 restaurants, exploring local fruit farms (pumpkin doughnuts and apple cider!!!), attending Chapel, enjoying the gorgeous grounds at Manito Park, and taking a little day-trip to Sandpoint, ID. So great that they now know what our life looks like here. They approve of our guest room so come on up, y'all!

There is always something going on around here. Tyrone Wells (a local Spokanite) is putting on a concert this week, finally going to the Farmer's Market downtown, meeting up with my RA from Bodenseehof who now lives in Couer d'Alene, volleyball games, student dinners, and coffee dates abound. The Fall weather is finally starting to make its way to the Northwest (it was 90 degrees on Saturday). Time for scarves and tea and riding boots. It is refreshing to feel like there is a sense of normalcy as we experience our first season change.

Still looking for a church body that we can be part of. Trusting the Lord for His timing and clarity. Started my Spiritual Formation Workshop a few weeks back. Really enjoying learning about intimacy with Christ and anticipating a challenging and refreshing look at (and practice in) the disciplines. May you stop trying to live for Jesus, but let Him live through you. It is about His Life.
