discoveries and struggles in light of a new season, scrapbook thoughts

Greetings all, a fairly brief update.

It’s been an interesting month or so. We finished our first part of staff training last week, and this week the schedule has been fairly open to allow time for final preparations before the school officially starts on Saturday. I’ve been spending some time preparing teaching, and there have been some practical bits and pieces to sort. We greeted our first two trainees’ today, from now they’ll be trickling in up until Saturday.
Experiencing a plethora of emotions and have been thinking many thoughts, about things generally, perhaps too much. I’ve been confronted with many challenges recently, as I’ve been seeking to settle in and build friendships here at holmsted. I’m working through alot of things from my past, and to be honest I’ve felt like I’m losing the battle at times, but I know I’m covering ground and I know it’s a day by day thing. Walking in my identity in Christ and making peace. It’s going to be a busy few months, months of much growth. Hard at times- but good, very good.
I intend to write an update soon with more detail as to what I’ve been up to exactly. For the moment, I hope this will suffice.

Prayer requests

-Battles/victories. Please pray that I’d continue to battle with zeal, and that I’d be able to work through my issues- and find a good balance generally, that I wouldn’t be consumed with my struggles so much that I become ineffective.

-Unity. Please pray as I settle in and build friendships here at holmsted, for our dts staff team- for good solid lasting relationships that give out a positive impact to the trainees.

-Energy/Wisdom. Please pray that I’d continue to grow in maturity, in faith, in practical things like time management and lots of other things.

Thankyou oh so very much for reading. I say it every time, but it’s because I mean it! I really appreciate it.

Have a wonderful week.

Adam
