my wilson

i'm sitting here alone (besides 2 dogs, 3 cats, 1 bird) in the house i am sitting for the weekend. studying and watching Wilson be a thankless, unwavering friend to House. it's true, when i sit alone for any extended period, i get sappy. so, i'm sappy.

i am so thankful for the wilson in my life. some days, you contribute to my problems, and some days you are their solution. always, you are there, and your presence makes me better.

thank you for caring enough to be tough when i am impossible. thank you for loving me through the worst and darkest time of my life. i am burdened daily by how much you loved and how little i deserved. thank you for saving my life. i owe you everything.

May the LORD now show you kindness and faithfulness, and I too will show you the same favor because you have done this. - 2 Samuel 2.6

I need to do something. I am not okay sitting comfortably here in my home or even less comfortably at school in my desk. I am ready to go, to do.

For my job, I have been doing quite a bit of research on economic development in Africa, and I am just not content filling my head without dirtying my hands. I am gifted in academia, and I enjoy it. But, I am created for ministry. Ready to go!

today

Sunday school today was great. Enough youth that I could assign each a chapter of Genesis to read silently then recount aloud to the group. They did an extraordinarily good job. We learned from the story of Joseph. I enjoyed them.

Clay began a series on the work of the Holy Spirit. Good sermon today. click here to hear it.

I love Christ's church at Avondale Estates FBC.

AND... Slept a good nap after coming home. First good sleep in several days.

and not relating

i don't know why. had a great date tonight. prayed on the way home, and God very clearly said, "no"

so, i obeyed

excited that i heard God speak

and excited about what "yes" lies in store beyond that "no"

:)

i'm constantly in awe of the abundance of life following Christ

even hard decisions are amazing when they are God decisions

i love it

even when i hate it
