No longer much of a nomad.  Not physically anyway.  My mind does wander from place to place, going where it finds value.

I am taking classes now.  I am enjoying the information.  I very much enjoy the information, though the class format/style may not be my favorite at times.  I am grateful that in a world of A.D.D. with its numerous distractions such as a smart phone, I am having to force myself to learn the discipline of sitting and reading more than a paragraph or two, then moving on to whatever wants to capture my attention next.

In one of my texts, I read that self-consciousness is a gift that God has given us.  Now, this was profound...and...oh-so-FREEing for me!!  All of the lies I'd been believing about my own self-counsciousness (recently, specifically) had to let my neck loose, and I could inhale.  You see, I had never put much clear consideration into self-consciousness, but I had considered it one of hell's curses.  But how true, that it is a gift that God has given us!  Through it, we are able to consider all of the truth of who we are.  Who we are is based on WHOSE we are.  It makes perfect sense that this gift God gave us, Satan wants to use as a target of deception and doubt.  Wow.  Wow, wow.

This part of the tale is in a new setting.  I'm excited to share as I walk along classrooms of coffee shops, parks, houses.  I trust that the eyes led to this will also be blessed.

Grace.  Peace.
