Yesterday I met with a receptionist for the student services department at a local university and asked who I should speak wrt helping lessen student isolation on campus. She didn’t get what I was talking about and kept asking for clarification. It basically went no-where, just my walking away with a couple of phone numbers.
This morning I reflected on what there was to learn from this. I looked back at some notes I took at a Living the New Economy workshop about focusing on who is currently underserved, rather than what I’m offering. In addition I found these notes from my reading in an article on JSH-Online.com. Loved the new feel of ‘waiting on God’ .. having a fresh look at a situation which is not immediately resolving
‘To wait on God is to be obedient to divine Principle. To wait on Him is to lift thought above the sense testimony of confusion, lack, limitation, and to recognize the perfect operation of Mind abundantly manifested everywhere. It is to pause sufficiently long to ascertain whether it is mortal, erring mind or the one divine Mind which is directing one’s thoughts and ways; to listen intelligently, trustingly, and actively for God’s voice; to realize that whatever the anxiety, danger, or fear seems to be, God is loving, guiding, governing, and controlling the entire universe. To wait on God is to acknowledge no power apart from Him, to declare man’s perfection, spirituality, and completeness here and now.’ < more>
Home provided
In August we advertised one of our rooms and a lovely couple came and took it for their engineering son who was working back in his home town. The only challenge we decided to take on was that he had a co-op term in January and he may be leaving town. We decided to accept him. He was amazingly chill.
At the beginning of December we advertised the room. We had a few people look at the room, but one person was very keen, applied and he was accepted. The new person won’t have meals with us which make our work easier.
A week before school was out , our first tenant did get a very good co-op job out of town.
Ironing out wrinkles at home
A tenant was always late in paying their utilities. I rarely see him. Today on a walk I saw him with his car out of gas. I lent him a jerrycan. We talked about a new way to do the utilities. He agreed and explained school had been really demanding of late. This case prompted us to redo any student rentals we run. It’s been so helpful.
A new sense of home.. and now feeling so free
The draw to a new, simplified life in a 700 sq ft float home in Victoria, BC just footsteps from the Parliament Buildings, after life in the UK and then Manitoba.
In a season where compassion is often sung about….
Measurable growth on genetics damaged by loneliness, when ‘treated’ with compassion and meditation.
