| | I finished my first two weeks of Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE). What a different world. In some ways it reminds me of college because of the close group interaction and internship idea... and yet it's so NOT college since I commute on a bus, have other responsibilities/life going on, am not getting paid, and have a lot less direction. I can't really write about my experiences yet. I'm not feeling up for it. But each day is intense, I enjoy the group of people I'm working with, and thankful I'm at Methodist Hospital in Arcadia. I'm really tired. Today reading Anne Lamott on the bus, to and from, helped me feel more positive on either end. In the mornings, I feel like I'm never going to make it through the whole day. Once I'm there I really love it, especially when I'm with patients. After each day, however, I feel stressed and am not really fun to be around; I'm working on that. Pray for Ryan. :)
My parents and 3 of my siblings are back in Kenya after the most upsetting year of their lives. God is faithful though and has been healing and sustaining them. We loved getting to see and talk to them more. They are a huge support to us and just great friends. We had a good last week with them, even with CPE Orientation in the mix. :)
Although we miss them, we're so glad that they are back where they belong, especially the kiddos, with their pet, house, school friends, and toys.
Here are some really old pictures from my camera from a family group trip to the Observatory and Karli's visit. I don't use the camera anymore because it just takes black pictures now. Sad about that...
 
 
Some of you know that I've wanted one of these since high school.... Ryan finally admitted it was more important to me to get one than him for me not to get one. :) He likes it.
