Insert witty subject line here

I've been enjoying the time here at home. Today I spent time at the pool and went out with my mom and my little brother. Our houseguests just left; we had staying in our house a pastor and his wife from Iceland. They are neat people. There is talk floating around about the possibility of going to Iceland this summer - imagine that! Iceland! But my family always talks about travelling (say, how about going to [insert random country here] sometime talk) so I'm not sure how much weight to put in it at the moment. Time will tell.

I could get used to living here at home. But I know God has called me to PHC, and I look to Him for strength in the upcoming semester. Life gets overwhelming at times when I look at it from my perspective; that's why I have to not look at the things unseen but the things seen. Stephanie and I were talking on the phone the other night about having a "gentle and quiet spirit." We kind of decided that being gentle doesn't mean being so quiet you never talk to anyone. It is more of a quietness and a stillness inside, despite the storms of life. So I hope, for next semester, that I can experience God's peace and quiet, and walk by faith, not by sight.
