9月9日 There is a faint perfumed note in the air that would tell me fall has arrived, and would do so even if the turning leaves, commencement of classes, and kick-off at McKernan Baptist Church hadn't alerted me to the fact already. As with every new school year, my head is a whir of wishes and worries. Here's what's new around the corner (for my far-away friends):
- Mom and Dad have moved to Stony Plain, and so live much, much closer than the 9 hour drive of previous years. They have a lovely new home, and Dad is settling in to work nicely by the sound of things.
- My extra-curricular stuff this year includes volunteering with the junior high gals, co-leading my small group Bible study, and participating in an online forum during the week to discuss the Sunday sermons (to help out with Lyle's doctorate project).
- I'm really pumped for year three of nursing. This year brings a psych placement, a medicine or surgery placement, a few philosophy of nursing courses, a research class, and an interdisciplinary health class. I'm a tad concerned about potential instructors, but I'll leave that in the Lord's hands (it's amazing the things that I stress about and don't think to bring to God in prayer, eh?).
- I went to Bridge Lake BC for a week! I'm glad I got out of the city/province for a little bit. It seems that most of the gals in my year of my program went to Europe for extended periods of time. . . I'll leave the country one day. For now I am content where I am. Photos are up on my facebook, and if you haven't got facebook, you can look at a small handful of them at www.flickr.com/photos/sparlingo
- I know own a copy of "The Celebration of Discipline." I'd like to keep people updated on my thoughts while working through the book. I welcome discipline right now.
- I'm excited a few folks around them have felt like they were in a place (either physical, spiritual, or both) that wasn't growing them . . . so they prayed about it and moved to newer and better places.
- I love autumn.
G-g-g-g-That's all folks!
