Tomorrow is my first day of classes at Wheaton College where I’ll be pursuing a graduate degree in Intercultural Studies. I had an orientation at the college this past Friday, and spent most of today going over a check list of things that I needed to do to tie up loose ends.

So far the jury is out as to what I feel about the college. The buildings are nice, and people seem to be genuinely kind. I really hope that I will be able to get closer to Jesus here.

It is hard to believe that things have changed so much in the last year. ‘Change’ was a word associated with politics as much as it was a reality concerning the economy.

In the past year a lot of things have changed in my life. In January I was still working for Crista Ministries, I was serving as a Perspectives task force member, I went to Missions Fest Vancouver with Colin Wilson. Since then I have moved on from Crista, been accepted to graduate school at Wheaton College and served as a short-term missionary in Japan.

I spent New Years with my church in Seattle and was able to reflect on the past year -I have truly received so much grace and a deepened knowledge of God’s love. There are so many things to say, but I can’t find any words for them.
