schools going again…its a short term though, only 7 weeks left. i already feel wasted and i am ready for break. im running again, lots, and it feels great. i am on the track team at school and doing track/field during PE. i am also taking a wood working shop class this term and im totally freaked. i just know i’m gonna cut off my fingers or something on one of the many power tools.
life has been really rough the past few weeks and it’s definitely taking its toll on me. but God is faithful and i am learning to rest in Him.
 today is 57 days until furlough. it doesn’t seem like much time at all, yet it seems to be taking forever. i am more than ready to fly away and see my brothers and friends. i am missing them more than i thought possible right now.
 with term 4, comes many hard goodbyes. i can already feel the atmosphere building around school and amongst my friends. it’s the hardest thing about life around here. its so bad it makes me wish i had never come to PNG in the first place. i am dreading the day when i will be forced to say goodbye to so many friends who have meant so much to me.
at soul purpose today, one of the hostel dads was talking about how we are gonna have tough times in our life, when we will find obstacles in our life and we cannot see a way to avoid them. he used the analogy of bridges, as in PNG we come across those a lot. and sometimes, the bridges we find are not always secure and sometimes they are falling apart and we wonder how we will ever make it across. and he was saying how we each need to build bridges in our life to make it across hard times. we come across a big obstacle in our life and there seems no way to get around it…so we have to build a bridge. and that bridge has to be well grounded in faith. he also reminded us that each bridge we make has a beginning and an end. we may not see the end and we may not understand why we have to begin. but the truth remains….God is there, He is faithful, and He does bring an end to every trial we go there. it was a good reminder, as we look to the end of the school year, to many hard goodbyes and other things we may face in our lives.
keep it real ya’ll….

Ah… the bridge analogy was very good, a very good reminder at times like these. I know what you mean about saying “goodbyes”; I somtimes wish that I had never met certain people because I don’t want to face the pain of saying goodbye, but then I realize that those people were put in my life for a reason and I need to cherish the times and memories with them, moving forward without them, but having learned from them.
Missin’ ya, sista!
