Though my expectations are high that good things will continue to happen through my growing ability to speak Dari, an epoch of life is presenting itself where the linguistic brakes are on. The upcoming months should be devoted to getting closer to God and developing my relationship with Him. The fact that you can only speak English at my school is one thing that has always put the dampers on language learning. But now there are new obstacles, as well.
- Hamroz and I speak English most of the time. This is a time for love, and English is (more often than not) the language of our love.
- I have been convicted about reviewing what I had memorized in the scriptures. There are over 100 chapters (thousands of verses) just in English (more in other languages) that I am in the process of forgetting.
Spring is time for revival, but we are passing through a sort of winter, for now. This is a season for cold consolidation. Now is the time for marital love to congeal. Now is the time to concentrate on drawing near to God. Not that we will forget about serving others, but this is a special season to focus on our relationship with Him. Friends are still dropping by, and we make time for them. We have enough life to share. But our focus is horizontal, not vertical.
