Well, I made it safely to England with no delays and no problems in customs. I am so thankful for that. Maybe it's just that I'm older now or have just become more patient over the years but this trip went quickly and I just enjoyed the journey. Sometimes I do not enjoy flying so this was a particular blessing.
This whole journey has been a blessing. I continue to pray that I can be a blessing to this community as I have been blessed. Having only been here less than two weeks and already been told that I am an answer to prayer is a huge blessing in itself.
So what have I been up to since I've been here you might ask...I've been busy...which is great! That's what I'm here to do! The housekeeper for NTC left for a college trip 4 days after I arrived and I've been doing her job while she has been gone. It's been a whirlwind but I'm loving it. With the help of several others we have been preparing all the colleges accommodations for a Minister's Summer School that begins tomorrow. We have been cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. It's been a tight turnaround, changing over around 21 rooms. I've been so grateful for the experience of those I have been working with and grateful that they never seem to tire of answering my many many questions. It's been a steep learning curve but really that's been the best way for me to learn quickly.
It's funny because I haven't even been here two weeks and it almost feels like I never left. Several people have asked me if it's weird being back and the short answer is no not really but the longer answer is that it's weird that it's not weird. I've been welcomed back to the community with open arms. It's been so wonderful to see familiar faces and meet so many new ones. I am reminded that it's the community that makes NTC so special. It truly is like family. Family is a blessing.
I am blessed.
