gloomy

It's so gloomy outside that it's making me super lazy. I was supposed to try to do one more "long run" before my 10k this upcoming Friday, but I chickened out. The overcast sky just doesn't look inviting.

It's been awhile since I last blogged. I have been swamped with job market stuff, but am happy to say that I am making good progress. My first deadline is in two weeks, which is for two post-docs that I really want. I've been working really, really hard to meet that deadline, and if I do, it also means that I'll be in good shape for the assistant prof jobs too.

I've been meaning to write about the Listening Prayer workshop last weekend, but there's so much that I don't know where to begin. It was one of those workshops that revolutionized my spiritual life, and I really mean that. Perhaps in a future post I can share more specifically about how it has impacted me. One way is that it has revitalized my quiet times. Lots of good stuff, like learning how to listen to God's voice and let his word go deeper in my heart. These lessons have been really opportune, as I'm currently going through an uncertain time in my life. The job market has been pretty stressful, and I'm realizing my deep need for more of God's word to protect my heart and spirit.
