It's almost been a month since my last post.
That would be because this one time I got a concussion, took students to Jubilee, and then got sick. Basically the month of February was a complete blur for me. I really hope to never feel like that again.
I (re)learned a lot about myself. I was reminded how much I love to do things by myself. how much i love to pretend that I am the god of my universe. that i'm super self-sufficient and i can do everything. i love to find my identity in being articulate, smart, and good at my job. i like to do what i want, when i want. and all of that is super annoying to say, but let's be honest, it's how I live.
So I got a concussion, couldn't think, articulate myself well, and I shouldn't have been doing the things that I was trying to do. Apparently a concussion is a serious brain injury, who knew? it was actually pretty painful to ask for help and admit over and over again that i couldn't do things.
and really that's not the person I want to be. so i'm trying to learn from the month of blurryness. I'm trying to step forward in the radical acts of asking for help, finding strength in weakness, and continuing to lean into the grace of Christ.
Jubilee 2010 was delightful, and now that my brain is not bruised I look forward to sharing more soon. :)
