These past few months have been a whirlwind; exhilarating, connecting, creative, busy, and affirming. They have also been exhausting and draining, but not in the ways that in my former position led to burnout. I feel settled here, at home, and actually eagerly anticipate the challenges the next semester will bring. But for now, I rest. "Be still, and know I am God". I hear the voice, and I submit.

Be still...
There is quiet. No laughter in the office, and no students coming through the door. The sun is setting and all is still. This is a rarity on a bustling college campus. It it the beginning of Christmas break. The pace around here has gone from 70mph to 25. I have a hard time figuring out how I should spend my newly found "free" time, a gift I've been praying for over the past 3 months. I have a stack of books I've been waiting to read, and a January class that I desperately need to put the finishing touches on. There are holiday preparations and craft projects to finish. But for now, I relish the quiet, the calm.
