This isn't to tell you all I'm travelling (at least, not at the moment) but rather what I'm up to.
I've been in school for just over a month now and things have been non-stop since the day I arrived. I'm consumed with thoughts of the present (classes, work, my Senior Honors Project) and of the future (Seminary, Candidacy, what I'll eat for dinner tomorrow). So I'm going to, hopefully, start updating my blog more often as both a way to keep you aware of just what I'm doing while I'm so far away, as well as a way to help me process just what the heck I'm thinking!
Seminary? you ask. Well, I should probably mention that one fairly soon...
After an amazing summer doing an "internship" of sorts, I felt affirmed in a call to public ministry. It's something that I've felt was a possibility from a very young age but, for a variety of reasons, it took a while for me to admit to myself. I've started Candidacy, which is the formal process of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) for people who want to join rostered ministry. It's a long story (which will continue for a long time) and I'd love to talk about it more...at a later time ;)
I really just wanted to update you all a bit and let you know I'm still alive. I'm hoping to post on the blog more often so you don't think I've fallen off the face of the earth. If you're really adventurous, feel free to follow me on twitter (which I usually post on daily) at www.twitter.com/CtyWeller.
Talk with you soon!
