We got so many fun souvenirs out in Jackson. I got a furry Pendleton hat - the kind with ears that buttons under my chin. It's so nice and it keeps my ears warm. I got a bunch of stickers, pins, and patches. The latter two I want to eventually put on a patch jacket. I got a SUPER FLUFFY alpaca made of alpaca wool. It was just too cute! It's grey/blue. I also got a new headscarf for church that's blue floral and gold trimmed, and a new horse model (which I had to fund myself because he thinks my horse obsession is... Obsessive.)

My usual schedule back home had devolved into something like going to sleep anywhere from 11-1, and waking up between 8-10. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ My husband is very on top of keeping his schedule regular for work, so it has been really helpful for me.

I did end up enjoying it! A little different from Bible studies I'm used to, having grown up protestant (grew up baptist, my husband is an Orthodox Christian and I plan to join the Orthodox Church). I always hated bible study because we would spend two hours on one or two verses, trying to dissect the "hidden meaning", never accepting that some things aren't intended to be known or understood, or that some things simply need to be taken at face value. It just drove me up the wall! I really like how our priest does it. No weird obsession to know everything, just taking God's word for what it is and spending time focusing on a few chapters and what they mean, not drawing personal conclusions and treating our own interpretations as truth (that's something I hated about whenever I'd go to Bible study at my baptist church). That was my experience with it at least. To each their own, some folks like spending forever on one verse and I am not one of them, lol.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I agree no need to dissect every little verse, it is all God's word and we can rest in knowing that it is all true! And if we are meant to know what the verse means, God will tell us.☺️

Yeah if I don't understand a verse I don't dwell on it. God's just keeping the meaning for me another time, or I will never know. What is important is not letting me not knowing what the verse means cause me to doubt His Word.

Agreed. Something I see a lot of folks get caught up in is thinking they need to know everything. The Orthodox church calls things "divine mysteries", and no one questions it. Such as the sacraments of the Eucharist (communion) and marriage. We do not need to know how God joins souls or how bread and wine become flesh and blood. It is for God to know, and us to believe.
