Can you tell I am loving it here? :)

Another poem....

So quick to stray,

to walk away;

Where are You, Lord?

No, truly, where am I?

So quick to turn, 

so slow to learn;

How is it that

I've run from You again?

Quick to forget

Your face, and yet,

What else is it

that I am looking for?

Don't let me go

for Lord, You know

It's You I want, 

though I may wander so. 

Picturesque-ness in The Netherlands

The church next to the building where I am staying

Journal entry from 8/24

I am learning to appreciate the process of living, instead of just wishing I could fast-forward to the end result.

That's what life is-- a process and journey of learning and growing, and getting to know my Creator in a more true way.

It takes a lot of time and work, but much of the richness is in its unfolding.

The tide comes in right up to the buildings in Bosham, England.

A lovely footpath in Greatham, England.

Guess where I've been!

Before I headed off to The Netherlands a few weeks ago, I spent one whirlwind day in a very famous city.   From the pictures, it shouldn't be to difficult to tell which one I mean. :)

Note to self:  one day is hardly long enough to experience anything, especially such a bustling and diverse metropolis. Rumor has it that there is plenty more to see, including a lovely palace. Oh well, I think I did pretty well for one day. 

A certain famous bridge, which bears the name of the city. 

The fountains at Trafalgar Square

A very well-know clock tower

Westminister Abbey
The highlight of the day was Evensong at 5:00 pm.

One of the "back doors" of Westminister Abbey

A varied assortment of photos

A table that I set for lunch at L'Abri

Self-explanatory :)

Romsey Abbey

Deep in discussion at breakfast

Choir practice

L'Abri again



Enjoying "high tea" on Sunday evening

Our group at the end of the term. I am amazed at how many countries are represented in this picture: the UK, the states, Holland, South Africa, Austrailia, South Korea, Ukraine, etc.

Josh and I were some of the many people who helped build a duck island in the pond.

 

I played at the local church almost every Sunday while I was there.
