I wake up with achy muscles, the kind that accompany a move.
This is a new stage in life; my first home! Two great friends in a beautiful house, doing life together in Northern Ireland. So far, I love this stage.
I look out of my bedroom and can see what us English call mountains, what the rest call hills. I'm right by college so I can still...well... get to class last.
This home has been prayed for and prayed over. It's not what we expected but a thousand times better. A gift from our generous God to be accepted and passed on, hopefully as a gift to all who may spend time here.
My prayer is that we create a space for our own friendship, and our own growth. I need to learn diligence in routine and cleaning, my housemate needs to learn to cook! Both of us studying and getting to know our God better. But also a space to welcome the joys of our friends, to get to know new friends and to simply love the broken-hearted.
I can only hope that we don't hold on to this blessing, that this year doesn't fly by too fast.
