go

sorry, this will only be a short post...more to come when life slows down a bit.

well, I arrived in Santa Barbara last week and much has happened since then. I now have a job working at Westmont. I started yesterday and I've been running around like crazy trying to get all of this figured out. Kiah and Anna got married last weekend. It was great.

I've been thinking a lot about life and how much I feel like it has changed...maybe I've just changed. All of the changes are good and appropriate and I'm excited to see what they will mean in my life. Lately I've also been thinking about rest...and how much I need it. Not just physical rest but emotional and spiritual rest. Like I've written about before, much of that has come from being in Montana. I was thinking about how little I have rested since getting to the states and how much of a contrast that was to my sleep.eat.sleep.read.eat.walk.eat.sleep routine I had in guatemala. All that to say this evening is my first time of rest. I can't believe how important this time has become, even after only being here for one week. I think that I will continue to learn about rest and how to take it without feeling lazy. until then I'll just have to live with feeling a bit lazy every now and then.

I will write again soon with more coherent and meaningful thoughts but I wanted to give you all a little tease so you don't think I forgot about you.

be at rest,
adam
