I was thinking this morning about how great a blessing it is that I moved into this new flat in March, which has a spare bed in my room. Since coming here, I think someone's been sleeping in the extra bed at least once a week. Especially lately, it's really come in use for serving others who need a break or a place to stay. Last night I got a phonecall that there was a mix-up in the hostel booking for our dear female summer intern. She got back to her room last night to find all of her stuff put into garbage bags and hauled out of the room... Not fun. So she's staying here for a few days, which is so great! It's just been a good reminder to me of how God has blessed us with certain resources for a reason, even things as "small" as an extra bed. Sometimes I really need my downtime and space, and I think last year I would have really had a hard time with people coming through all the time. But it's been really amazing to experience Him working in my heart and really becoming a lot more chill, and growing in me a heart for hospitality, even in close quarters. That's something I'm thanking Him for today.
