And so it goes, another semester is coming to the end as we finish our final exams at school. This will mark my half way point through the program and start the last 9.5 months I have to serve in Toronto. It seems bittersweet right now because I have succeeded in so many things here that have allowed me to move on, but as with the end of every semester, the impending departure of some of my fellow students is starting to look more certain. Its always hard saying goodbye. But worse then that is not being able to say goodbye at all because things end before you know it. Its also given me a reflection for life. No matter what you are going through, there are aspects of your life that are still bright. You may be having a bad day, but somewhere someone is sick, someone is starving, someone lost their home, someone has died. These seem like the obvious stereotypes that would be mentioned, but if you look around you can find them anywhere. This musing isn’t meant to be depressing, but rather more for the purpose to evoke a new appreciation for the opportunities that God gives us each day. We may not always be privileged enough to have everything easy, but we can look at making each day what we want it to be. I feel like I need to remember that more, and make my future as bright and happy as possible…
