We leave the country in 2 days to visit my family! I'm really looking forward to time with my family. a lot. and time with my husband. in fact, I'm storing up questions to ask him during our long journey! =)
I'm trying to listen to Christmas music when i can, to make the season feel a little more real. We don't have many decorations up as we will be out of town for two weeks.
One of the advent readings i read talked about life being both sacred and messy. i think i have seen more of the messy-ness recently and have had to do some crying over hard moments. I'm feeling some of the brokenness of life rather than celebrating in the sacred-ness. sigh.
I've turned in all my paperwork to complete my masters degree and that was the last thing i had to do! So...even though i have to complete some hours tomorrow at my internship, I'm officially done! and it feels very small and i do not know how to celebrate. i mean, i know how to celebrate, but in the midst of a nasty sore throat and work and internship and packing and laundry and presents....not sure how to take a moment and recognize that i can call myself a counselor now. full blown and true. not just a student, not just an intern.
Maybe upon our return to the states i would like to have some sort of celebration/ending/sending/blessing party. Can you all please come? to recognize what has been, and to bless the future that is unknown. Maybe, somehow, i would like that.
Merry Christmas to you!
Grace and peace to you for these next weeks and the next year.
