“Say that I’m still glorious
Say that I’m not withering like roses
Hey, I’m still glorious
While I’m withering like roses in the fall “
I did ok at this blog thing last year until around the middle of the year. I think that is pretty good for me. As classes began and time got more and more hard to find I didn’t come back to writing on here. I have about 50 other things I could be doing right now but I thought I would take a few moments to record what has been shaking in this season lately. A week consists of 30 to 40 hours of work, 3 classes, and time at a 150 hour internship, and in the middle living life. I am super thankful to be doing my internship at SafeHouse Outreach in Atlanta. I am loving every minute I spend there. It is funny because it challenges me in so so many ways. I have to put myself out there a lot more than I am comfortable with. I find myself constantly pushing myself to do better. I am meeting some awesome people and I feel like I belong there. I have a person and I feel like I can be myself. I went on a much needed trip to see the Cole family in Kansas City. I love that family like mad. I even love how they are not afraid to ask the hard questions. I think this is a season of learning. I want to learn as much as I can from every situation I am in. I was at SHO again this morning and spent much of the day there. A big challenge for me is to not hide or be invisible. I am good at that but that doesn’t work here. I have learned how frisky homeless men are. I am not sure how to feel about that. I am sure they do it with every female that comes through. I gave someone a tent and had no idea that is would send the wrong signal. I am me and nothing about me is special. I just wanted to give the dude a place to sleep. So cheers to a season of challenge, learning, and craziness.
