"Love creates in Christians a dynamic that leads us to do all that God wants, spontaneously without even having to think about it, because, by this time, we have made God's will ours and we love everything that God loves." -From Sober Intoxication of the Spirit
Today I am packing my stuff and leaving CMC. I think the year flew by. I had a really life-giving time here with my housemates and at my work placement. I am so grateful for my life. It is strange that I am moving out and will lead a different lifestyle once I get back home to Rockford. The values will always be present in my life (Spirituality, Social Justice, Community, and Simple Living) as long as I have motivation to remain in peace.
So much has changed me, although I attribute all growth to God. He has truly been working non-stop in my life and I have remained for the most part open to new parts of the world through my senses.
My relationships have affected me the most; I have experienced God most clearly through people I have been blessed to know. Community has been one of if not the most crucial element of JVC. People have worked together and have come out with common goals. Love works through support, and community, specifically. I have been shown a lot about love that I didn't know before, namely, its wonderfully and intensely substantial nature. . . hard to say in words but through experience, love has become a clearer and clearer reality in my life.
I look forward to spending time with my family and connecting with friends when I am back in Rockford. I will leave it up to my life's progression in God to come to my next major life decision.
Thank you for your support and for reading my blog. I won't be updating it again, unless I move back to California. I will let the currents drive me.
Much love and peace to you
