I've moved. And I do miss you (friends, roomies, coworkers, students, Czechs in general). I'd love to hear from you, so please keep in touch and write when you can. It'd be wonderful to come back and visit... and you're always welcome here, too! ("Here" being wherever I am in the states, or in the world. ha)
I'm not sure what God has in mind for me beyond grad school, but I'm taking it day by day and trying to relish the journey... not just the destination. After all, "He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together" (Colossians 1:17)
While I no longer live in a crazy, bustling 1.2 million-person international city.... the moments of silence here have given me time to reflect and remember the almighty God who first called me to Czech Republic back in 2010. It's as if He is whispering:
Sincere love and Richmondosity.

ps.
I still believe in snail mail and handwritten postcards/letters, so feel free to swap from abroad (or even from within the states) if you'd like :)

While I no longer live in a crazy, bustling 1.2 million-person international city.... the moments of silence here have given me time to reflect and remember the almighty God who first called me to Czech Republic back in 2010. It's as if He is whispering:
"Be still, and know that I am God! I am exalted among the nations, I am exalted in the earth. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge"Anyway, we will see what happens next. Regardless, though, as you and I embark on whatever or wherever we are in life, know that you are loved very much; and it's not just by me or from me -- it's so much better....
Sincere love and Richmondosity.

This is a great post! it serves as a real insight into what it is like to live in such a remarkable city. Myself and my wife are visiting on a Prague city breaks holiday next year and we can't wait.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mark! It's a pretty remarkable city to live in, so I'm glad to be able to shed some light on it. By the way, do I know you? How'd you find my blog? You and your wife will have THE BEST TIME in Prague.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if you need a great place to stay in Prague... check out BohemianHostels.com.
