and we close this book

Part of me feels that the year has wound down to an almost story-book ending. Most of the conflicts have been resolved, exciting summer adventures are about to unfold, and even before summer starts and after it ends, lots of people around me have things to be excited for--and I'm excited for them, as well as for myself.

And then there's this part of me that feels like I blew it, big time. There's this one conflict that I can't resolve, that I'm completely powerless against, that I instigated--and unknowingly--and there's nothing I can do about it now. Nothing. I don't even know what or who is right or wrong, it's all blurry, and that's all I'm going to say about it. In God's grace, resolution will come, and my opinion of the timing doesn't matter because His is perfect.

So at the end of this week I'll go to SCF leadership training for a few days, followed by Leah's graduation party in Ann Arbor, and I'll finally make it home around Thursday of next week. Then I'll work at the farm for about 3 1/2 weeks before heading down to Detroit for my fellowship.

But for now, I have 2 papers to write, and I just can't get myself to care about them. I guess I'd better work on that.

yay for summer and coming home... even though you won't be here that long, it'll still be nice to be home.
