Jumping Out

-
Maybe it's the load of excitement before something big that throws off the balance, causing serious havoc. Or maybe the doors need to be shut so the soul doesn't plow throw, leaving behind worse damage. I'm not sure, but this adventure is temporarily on hold. There's only One that sees the beautiful painting with each brush stroke clearly defined. And to Him, it's clear and it's beautiful.

Monday night I went to Sky High, "the trampoline place," with our collegiate Sabbath school group. Fun place, especially the foam pit. Right before we left, I had a pretty bad fall. (probably some crazy triple back flip, side spin, something. You know?) Long story short, I busted my knee, had an MRI yesterday and am having surgery today. Thought you all should know since I'm expected to leave for Argentina so soon. So it may not happen this quarter, or any quarter. I'll know for sure after the surgery this morning. Will keep you all posted! And thank you so much for your prayers this far. It makes it easier knowing that God is the one in charge and I've got a mighty army of His great children behind me.

    I am sooo sorry!!
    I just keep sensing..."all things work together for good." And you said it so well in your first paragraph..."preventing worse damage later on".
    You wrote that sooo well.
    I am praying for you regularly. I am secretly glad you will still be here! And you can make awesome growth here....
    Enjoy your relaxing vacation. (laid up in bed!!)

seize a friend and fly away

A poster I saw at Pike's Place this weekend. I'm SO ready to fly there.  Carpe Diem "Be happy, happy, happy,  And seize the day of pleasure" - Robert Frost I was talking with my friend Eric, whom I co-direct programming with for MiVoden, this weekend on our trip to Seattle. He was talking about looking at everything for the first time, really living in the present. He challenged me to go outside and look at nature without thinking about what I've known or been taught about it from the past, or what I think for the future, but to look at it for what I see now. I love that. So, today I went for a bike ride and looked at everything for the first time. The only problem is that there are too many things, so to prevent any possible anxiety I quickly looked at the Blue Jay flying past me. I wondered why God created him with such a long tail, why his colors were a mix of white, blue and black, or how many feathers did he have. Just really looking at him. There's ...

Holy Plans

-
So this week was a week of God revealing His HOLY plans. "Before I shaped you in the womb, I knew all about you. Before you saw the light of day, I had holy plans for you." - Jeremiah 1:5 21 years ago God knew that on Wednesday , August 11 , 2010 I would be transitioning from a holy week at Priest spent with two awesome friends to the rest of a holy summer spent at a summer camp. He knew on this day I would open my eyes to the passions he placed inside of me, recognize my fears, and step away to follow his calling. Holy plans. They are real and happen when we search and wait. PS - I'm so excited to start my Elementary Exploratory class in a few weeks.

Those days...

"How near to good is what is WILD!"  - Thoreau Over the past several years, as I've grown into this feminine figure, I've pulled myself away from good things. Some mornings, I look in the mirror and feel guilty for not looking like the girl on the magazine,  What's wrong with you? You need to exercise more.  Or when I'm sitting in class and I don't understand what everyone else understands, Ah, you're so dumb.   I'm critical, super critical of myself. Plus, I'm a sucker for guilt. Vacation me with guilt and you're guaranteed to get your way. Some days I don't even want to leave my house and if I have to... please, maybe nobody will see me today. Today I was reflecting on the days before this was a problem. The days when I would cry, not because of my lack in looks, brains or style, but because the boys wouldn't let a girl play football. The days when dad would get home from work and I'd run out to his truck in my flowered span...
