Closing Time

So, its done. My time at Moody has drawn to a close with a beautiful but hectic day of moving, cleaning and eating out.
My time with my floor has come to an end, and two great years with amazing women is over.

I'm sure this summer will be filled with blog posts mourning those losses and celebrating what's next, but today is a lament for Romans 12.

Today is the last day of my semester of Christian character building via Romans 12. For the last 2 or 3 weeks, I've dropped the ball on blogging on the subject matter, from feeding my enemies to overcoming evil with good.
I'd love to tell you how God has used those things in my life — because he has— but today is a day to mourn the last of my spiritual structure and the start of a very confusing time free of detailed time commitments and clear boundaries on my spiritual exercises. Now I'm in for a period of forging ahead, and finding out what comes next on my own.
It's terrifying. I'm excited for what is next and have confidence that my faith will flourish, but there is a piece of me that fears I will fall apart.
And I very well might.

So today, I'm drawing a close to my Romans 12 semester, and not sure what comes next in my world of blogging, but I'm signing off in the grace of God and clinging onto what I know is good — Christ himself.

To him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we can ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations for ever and ever. Amen.
