Perichoresis - Living the Dance

3 weeks ago - School Orientation
last week - 1st week of classes - Even 'tho I had taken one course last semester, this first week was still...spent trying to adapt to the new environment, meeting people & the student council and introducing myself the other 1st year.

=)) the first week of school in the fall was different from the experience taking one night class last term.

There were commencement, chapels, more people, more courses, and I felt all the more...stress.

Retreat weekend - camp fire
This week - 2nd week of classes

Thank you, Lord for the wonder that you put into my life.
Thank you Lord, for Kaarina, the Dean of Student Life

So I'm continuing to do what I have been doing in the past couple of years - Reading ... and highlighting the pages & my favorite quotes :) haha...and the only difference is now I have a whole community of Faith where we can express our own thoughts, interact, support, challenge and sharpen one another... This is the Best!!!

We are here to get trained to communicate clearly, authentically and lovely. Living a life worthy of the Grace that we received from Christ Jesus :)

The President said last week - if you come to Tyndale, taking all the courses, but do not learn how to love God and one another, You have learn nothing.

He encouraged us to remember the gentle "tuck" of God on our Hearts.

Kaarina encouraged us by Jeremiah 9:23 -24 "Not to boast in anything but one thing"

I wasn't able to handle four courses...I was in a mess last week, mentally, emotionally a little. But dropping the NT History makes me feel better, and more able to focus on the reading.

Actually..... :)) Everything I read last week...had basically slipped through my mind.

Yes.....So now I'm On the 2nd Week :))
