friday wonderings
(i'm writing here in the hopes that once i get some thoughts out i'll be able to focus on my social policy reading again. but for now: blogging.)
i'm thankful. the light is slanting through the big open area of the museum; i can see it from where i sit in this little office. i don't have a window, but this is the next best thing. it's friday, and i'm finally going to have a chance to clean out my horribly-messy room this weekend.
it's been quite a week, filled with simple little meals, repaired cars, and enlightening thoughts in my social work classes. the other night i fell asleep relieved that even social work can't answer all my questions about the world. it makes me think about Jesus instead, and how reading his Bible is just what i need after class discussions that seem so inconclusive and frustrating. i can't wait until all these things-- ebola and racism and fragmented families-- become "the former things that pass away." (revelation 21:4b) because even really good evidence-based interventions aren't going to be enough.
and who knows what is ahead for me. it's so crazy to think about grad-school apps and careers and professionalism when i have this simple passion for people and i'm just one person in a sea of social work seniors who all want to go change the world. i'm thankful that God's passion for people far exceeds all of ours.
these are just some thoughts at the end of another week. here's to more questions and more answers. here's to more gratitude, more wondering, and more simple little meals eaten by my favorite light-filled window.
