Besides chasing food around town, Ross and I have tried to go to church once a week for some individual prayer {this is new for us}. Not only does this allow us to see other beautiful structures throughout the city and learn about historical sites, but it allows us to slow down and find some peace in the crazy, city life. And it seems like these days, I have a lot to pray for {patience, understanding, comfort + peace for family + friends, more patience, having this opportunity, patience, did I say that already?}, so I look forward to these quiet moments. This past weekend, we explored the Southwark Cathedral, where the great playwrights like Mr. Shakes himself and Chaucer worshipped. John Harvard, founder of THE university, was baptized in this church in 1607, so this chapel to the left was dedicated to Harvard. Can you believe the church has been here since the 1600s? {Warning: This is a little sappy} So, this post is dedicated to all those that have been in my prayers this past month, especially some of my friends who have had a difficult start to the year. My heart breaks that I cannot support you in person, but I am thinking of you and sending you love from London. xoxo.
