lately

my universe lately; praying without ceasing for his presence and help, hundreds of hours in the metro and busses and walking to and from, dishes on dishes, releasing of fear and taking on of joy and excitement, a growing love for unreached peoples, exhaustion and satisfaction in communication in a second language, the stunning views from 21 floors up of sunsets and sunrises and rain clouds and shrouding mist, feeling a new sense of home when welcomed by fresh-baked bread under the streets, paperwork and excel, explaining English, mugs and mugs of hot tea, and a settled satisfaction in the here and now and perfect plan God has laid out before me.
