Oggi e venerdi, 22 febbraio, 2013
Another Friday of classes. Better now than later, I think. We read over Corinthians in theology, which was the last thing I studied on my last day of high school- "and if I cast my body into the flames but have not love, I gain nothing" was the last note I took that day, March 16, 2011. It's been a very long series of months since that day and I really have thought that there was a sort of dichotomy between by life until that point and my life following. I think that's a terrible, silly way to see life, but now I have a hindsight vantage. It all flows together, somehow, providentially.

I just wanted you to know I am reading these journals and readily await the rest. This is such an experience. Ash and I were talking about your Rome journal last night, and we decided the only thing we wish we could've done in college that we didn't was study abroad. It's not strong enough to be regret, because it was a conscious decision -- study abroad or save money for our wedding -- and though our wedding was humble, it was beautiful to us. But I do hope we get to spend some time later in life immersed in another culture the way you have. I am also struck by how insightful you are. In many ways, you are so far beyond your years in wisdom, though I know, as someone who was the same way, that this doesn't so much help make decisions as complicate them.
ReplyDeleteI thought a lot about you guys during the semester; funnily enough I was mostly thinking about how impressed I was that you managed to travel after you were married, and how I hoped I would be able to keep traveling after school. It's built in to our curriculum, so it felt like a given for our group, but it was such a gift and such an experience. I'm sorry I didn't get to write to many people, but thank goodness for the internet, making it possible to keep communication up. Thanks Abby; I know you're busy, but I'd like to email you soon! (:
