WOW - It seems the insanity of academia life has kept me in a vortex of books, papers, and 10,000 other things to do. But alas I have returned, my friends.
It truly has been a whirl-wind of a couple of months; Papers, midterms, a trip to Florida for a conference, and Spring Break on Vancouver Island, etc. etc. As busy as this season of life has been I can say I have definitely been learning a plethora of invaluable lessons. The beauty of life is that something is always to be learned; Regardless of age or context, life presents to us lessons that stretch us and expand our horizons.
As I lay in bed last night I reflected upon preceding months that have flown by. I noted in that moment how I felt, how to put it...new; fresh; as if a layer of myself had been shed, only to reveal a more beautiful self - not a physical, but an internal beauty. It seems as one grows up and embarks on their journey of life, they go through significant season of shedding self. It's as if in order for them to break forth into a new season of life, they must first shed the layer of self that restricts them of doing so.
Personally, I find this past season to be one of expanding my worldview - The lens in which I have viewed the world in relation to self has been developed into a more God-pleasing format. In order for this to be accomplished it was imperative that much of the past be shed. And this is where I find myself; shedding a layer of past, only to reveal a more beautiful present-self that is able to move forward in my journey of life.
Rather abstract, perhaps, but I am a rather abstract individual - and I like it.
Be blessed
Nick B.
