  • I am home and...

     
        missing amazing Arizona weather!
        missing two darling little sisters and adopted parents.
        missing all the excitement of flying and traveling.
        --------------------------------------------------------------
        glad that God gave me three brothers.
        so happy to see Jack again... *grin*
        absolutely loving "Enchanted" [movie and soundtrack].
        realizing that I have overbooked myself the next two weeks.
        am caught up on sleep, finally!
        thinking through a lot of things.
        so thankful for kindred-spirit friends.
        wanting to go live in a cabin for a month and take a vow of silence.
        completely captivated by reading again!
        loving all 500+ pictures from Arizona!
        am grateful for God's hand of protection.
        need to write about five different cards/letters.
        trying to decide when to get my hair cut.
        remembering things that needed to be done before I left last week...
        really thankful that God's grace never ends.
        striving to change in His strength.
     
    Yes, lots going on. It is rather overwhelming actually. My head is spinning. Right now I think I am going to take some time to read some Psalms and pray. Its been an incredible week, but life does not slow down for a moment even when one is away on vacation. One of my dear girlfriends, Kendyl, had a seizure last Wednesday. It was rather scary... thankfully she has been home and is recovering now, but it has really shaken me up on the inside. Hearing more details yesterday and the aftereffects of the seizure how it is affecting her has hit me rather hard. Life is so precious and fragile. I know that, but I want to life like I know it! Please pray for Kendyl's quick recovery and that the peace of God which passes all understand would guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

    Thinking about that gives me a desire to witness more faithfully, spend more time in the Word, learning even more what it means to "Pray without ceasing", take time to spend quality time with friends, have deep and meaningful conversations with my parents [not talking about schedules and decisions all the time], take my brothers out and spent time just having fun with them, finish writing all my short stories and scripts, etc. etc. etc. That has given me lots to apply to my week of activities. Meanwhile, God is so faithful in showing His love in so many little ways through surprise visits with friends, encouraging emails, surprise birthday packages and His perfect timing... He is good!

    I love your new layout! Your profile picture is really cute, too.


    Wow girl, you've done a lot of traveling this year! I remember Arizona. It was really nice.


    I hope your friend will be feeling better soon. A seizure is scary.

    Enchanted is a wonderful movie, with great music! My favorite has to be "So Close" by Jon McLaughlin... he's actually from Indiana, and has some other great music too :) Hope your week isn't too crazy!
