• Been in the house for over three months now.  It's decorated for Christmas and it is a home.  I have another new home also.  Firewheel Bible Fellowship.  Loving it.  Can't imagine missing a single Sunday.  Meeting some of my new family.  Jeremy, Jodi, Keadan, Jeff.  Good people with good hearts.  Getting ready for a big adventure down the road.  The Lord is preparing our hearts for that.  It's coming soon and I'm excited and I'm scared.  I still get scared about money, about making ends meet.  It's a neverending lesson in trust.  I love my kids at work.  They teach me every day.  Relearning lessons in love and discipline.  Learning to be gentle and kind.  These are difficult lessons to learn.  Despite the money shortage, I wouldn't give this up.  Wonderful people I work with.  I am humbled every day by three year olds.  And they make my joy overflow.  I miss my family more every day.  I miss being near them.  What will I do in a year when they are even farther?  Do they know the extent of my overflowing love for them?  Very blessed to be theirs.  Very blessed indeed.  I have a house.  For free. And I have a playful cat.  I have more best friends than a broken girl deserves.  I have a car.  It runs.  My cabinets are overstocked with food.  I know love.  I sleep in a warm bed every night.  I wear clothes every day.  And they're cute.  For the most part.  I love books.  And I have lots of them.  I am broken.  And I am overcome by grace.  By His scandalous, unorthodox love.  Blessed indeed.

   

   

   

  Lead me to the cross
  Where Your love poured out
  Bring me to my knees
  Lord I lay me down
  Rid me of myself
  I belong to You
