June 9th-Airport
Today was complete chaos, but i could not have asked for a more beautiful last day in Stellenbosch. The sun was shining and the clear skies made Stellenbosch mountain impossible to miss. Last night I finished off all of the beer on the Beer Quest list at Brazen, leaving only my Guinness to enjoy over lunch in the bar which holds countless memories. These past few days have flown by and I think my body is moving physically fast through the motions of goodbyes and packing. I'm afraid for the emotions to catch up and kick my butt soon.
June 10th-Home in Laurinburg
I was able to re open Frederick Buechner's Listening to Your Life devotional for the first time in months and this days daily devotional encourages one to step into the darkness. I feel as though the summer ahead is very full of darkness, but I pray that it challenges me in a way that leads to growth and more space to reflect on the past semester so I can use new knowledge in older familiar environments. I left when the sun was going down in Cape Town and tonight I got back home and after crossing into Scotland County I turned around to see a huge beautiful sunset.
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. -Romans 12:2
