things continue to go really well here. i was thinking the other day about how comfortable i am here. in a place i should feel so out of place and uncomfortable i feel exactly the opposite. i think it's the community. community is something that i feel has always been lacking. and it's not that there hasn't been great people around me seeking Christ. but i spend time in both topeka and in lawrence and feel it makes it harder in a lot of ways. i'm literally spreading myself too thin and not being fully present in either place is maybe not the best way of doing things.
a couple weeks ago at my wednesday night bible study we were talking about the idea of being present not only physically but mentally. so often we can get caught up looking back to the past or ahead to the future. i feel that i tend to think more to the future, whether it be simply looking forward to lunch or the end of the day or further ahead to next month or next year. and not that it is bad to get excited about things coming up, but i now realize if i constantly spend my time thinking about the future then i'm going to miss out on what God has for me right now in this moment.
