*Hey, guys! This week you’re getting a “two fer”, as I completely neglected to post this weekly update in due time. I hope you enjoy!* As each day passes, I’m settling more and more into my life here. Again, the battle ensues between choosing to rest after a long week or to explore the area. This…
4/13- Celebrations in Cape Cod
Hope you all had a wonderful Fourth of July! I know I did! I returned to the Cape Tuesday night after work to spend time with Kayla and Evan (remember them from Week 2’s post?) and had a blast! That morning, we all sat down together to read the Bible and journal, which was such…
Oiling Up: My Health Journey and the Role Essential Oils Play
“Fad”. “Overpriced”. “Placebo”. These were words I used whenever essential oils came up in conversation. It was safe to say that I was an unbeliever. Coming from the point of view of a healthcare professional, it felt like blasphemy for anyone to claim that anything other than a prescribed medication by a licensed physician could…
2/13- Favor Upon Favor
Tuesday night was my second week of a women’s Bible study going on at the church I will be attending while in Worcester. Can I just say that God is a perfect provider? Time and time again, He never fails to blow my mind with how He perfectly fulfills both the needs and desires in…
1/13- Noodles and Newport
That’s it! My first week in Massachusetts has come and gone! It’s so strange, to already be a week through this assignment, but yet have twelve more ahead of me! Mentally, it’s a struggle to find the balance between “I just got here” and “I’m ready for what’s next”. My living situation with this assignment…
Day 4- St. Louis, MO to Columbus, OH
Well, we did it folks. We made it back home. The last stretch is always the best (and the worst) part of traveling. There’s that physical weariness of long days sitting in a car and mental weariness from spending hours driving. There’s the weariness of eating food on the road and sleeping in strange beds….
Day 3- Amarillo, TX to St. Louis, MO
Today was another long stretch. We passed through several states. Oklahoma was gypy and didn’t have a state sign for us to photograph. So, we just sang Oklahoma! songs until we felt we were adequately acquainted with the new state. Besides an inexplicable amount of dead armadillos on the side of the road, I can’t…
Day 2- Flagstaff, AZ to Amarillo, TX
Today was Round Two of making our way back to Ohio! I have to say, the closer I get to home, the more things I realize things I’ve missed and will enjoy getting to experience again. Ex. 1: my parent’s dog. Ex. 2: my family have watched Band of Brothers together every Memorial Day weekend…
Day 1- San Francisco, CA to Flagstaff, AZ
The return home begins! It was a little strange, seeing the space I had called home for 13 weeks now stripped of anything that made it mine. Empty drawers, empty closet, empty kitchen, but oh, what a full heart I have. Dad and I put SF in BBJ’s rearview mirror right at 7 AM, starting…
13/13- One Last Time
Any Hamilton lovers in the house? I’ve caught myself singing “One Last Time” to myself several times throughout this week. There’s something so sad and sweet about it and what a better theme song for my last week in San Francisco? A good portion of my week was spent packing, but I did manage to…
