Settling In

I have never experienced jet lag before this trip. I finally arrived at Capernwray after about 32 hours of traveling. I showed up 6:15am on Wednesday to a castle in the middle of sheep-land! I walked through the halls looking for my room trying not to make any noise with my gigantic rolling suitcase. I share a room with 3 roommates Michael(Germany), Trevor(California, USA), and Daniel(South Korea). Its great! I was told that I didn’t need to attend lectures and could of slept and settled in. But I didn’t want to miss out on any more of the teachings. So I decided to follow the schedule that we all have.

I fell asleep in every lecture. I’m not talking about nodding off and sitting quietly. I’m talking about full on, elbow slipping off the table and hitting my face on the desk. The best part of this is I am in the front row right in front of the lecturer and 164 students sitting behind me. Luckily everyone knew what I was going through and they gave me grace, but it was still embarrassing.

We have 40 guys here and 124 girls… I’m just saying (Wes).

The castle and grounds are beautiful and having to keep reminding myself that this is my home for the next two months.

For the past couple years, I feel like I have been a  state of anxiousness whether about my job or about bills ect. For the first time in a long time I feel that I am where the Lord wants me no dobt. I’m not completely sure why I’m here yet but I’m guessing that will come.

We were talking about worry yesterday in lectures and someone through out Jeremiah 29:11 – “I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out-plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.”

As many time as I have heard that, I think sometimes I become numb to its promise. The plans that The Lord has for me it to help me not break me down, although breakdown may be nessisary!

I am truly grateful for this opportunity, and am excited to see what God has in store! I will keep you all updated! And miss you all.

Oh and here is my mailing address!! Send me things!
