09 September

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!
