While many of my friends around the world have been posting photos of the fall color changes we here in Cairo welcomed in fall (October) with temps over 100, and still the same hazy brown color that we peer thru the other 11 months of the year.
On the positive side we can still go to the beach in mid October and swim comfortably and maintain our tan so it is not all bad by any means! I promised Caleb a few days of undivided attention so we went with some friends to Ein Suhkna about 2 hrs away and enjoyed just hanging out and breathing fresh air and watching the ships go by in the distance.
Women's Bible Study is in full swing and I am really enjoying the study and learning and experiencing amazing things about the Holy Spirit. Sometimes it feels like it is too much to absorb and put into practice, sometimes I feel as if we are sitting on a keg of dynamite with no clue of the potential power that surges below. How to understand, absorb and practice it all is overwhelming! Am preaching in a week from book of Ecclesiastes this will be a first!
This last month of adjusting to school has proven to be a real challenge for both Caleb and I. We are doing well at finding and following a routine (We have been on time every morning so far!) He is not real happy with the structured time concept and remarks often "When will I be free?" how can I explain to him that the days of carefree living are literally over? He woke up from a bad dream the other night crying and when I asked him what was wrong, he sobbed "I don't want to grow up!" I thought quietly to myself "Me either buddy."
