I've been learning a lot lately. I'm reading a book right now on the history of my hometown and its racial struggles, particularly in the 70s. It's hard reading, and I didn't learn this history growing up. I'm working on coming to terms with these details about my hometown.
I went to St. Cyprian's Episcopal in Oxford today. It was a really nice service. It was both in English and Spanish, as the congregation includes both English-speaking people and Spanish-speaking people. Everyone was really nice and they had ice cream afterwards. ^_^
I've got papers to work on now, but I just wanted to update and share what I have been learning recently.

Always on the journey
So much life has happened since the last time I put a journal on here. I did the yoga teacher training I mentioned last time. I moved back to Boston. I continued my yoga journey with more trainings. I started teaching yoga. I teach Sunday School and work as a children's minister. I continue my theological education and I hope to graduate with an S.T.M. this Spring. I'm interviewing for a chaplain residency this week. Life happened. And I didn't expect it. I think the one big thing I have learned recently is that life happens, and we don't always expect it to. My life these last few years has been following Jesus wherever he leads, and he continues to take me to places I didn't expect. He calls me to serve him by serving others. And that continues to be the best journey. I wouldn't take nothing for my journey now. If you've made it this far, I'd invite you to listen to this video. It's the story of my life, and you might enjoy it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS6w2DOc310
Wipe out!
Whew.
This semester cleaned my clock. I'm still working on papers from it. I think I put too much of myself into my work at the coffee shop and didn't have enough left to put myself into my studies.
So I'm shifting things around this semester. I've already decreased the amount of time I'm working, and I'm figuring out what I'll do with school. One of my classes was canceled, so I'm replacing it. I'm trying to figure out whether I want to add one more class.
One exciting thing I'm looking to do this semester is a yoga teacher training. There's an awesome studio on the north side that teaches yoga for all kinds of bodies. I really want to le
Chicago!
Hey all, I wanted to post a quick update!
I moved to Chicago this summer and am working on my Master of Sacred Theology half time, studying theology and worship. I'm working full time and living at the Lutheran school, right across from the University of Chicago. Life has cleaned my clock this semester, and I'm struggling to keep up.
I've discovered a great opportunity I'll be applying for soon. It's a two-year residency at a church, and it seems like it would be a wonderful way to minister while finishing up ordination requirements. Stay tuned!
It's Christmas time and the tree is up here in Chicago. We've not had much snow, but there was
Updates
So much has happened in the past few months. I've moved up to school and I had June classes. My little brother got married. I'm on chapel staff at school and this fall I'm taking over a full load of classes. I've got an internship at a church and I'm seeing a biologist back at UNC. I'm enjoying the weather and the beach up in Boston while also trying to get sooo much work done. *And* the dean asked me to be his research assistant on a project. Whew!
With everything changing, its good to know some things never change. I have the best friends and family in the world, even we we haven't hung out in a while. And I'm always playing music and drin
