quiet changes

There were no earthquakes or storms, but somehow this week changed me...

I'm having a hard time seeing clearly how it changed me through this veil, but I know I grew and something happened and is happening.

Some major and minor catalysts and products of change from the past week or so...


-talked to a guy and was able to finally forgive him and myself

-made a commitment and followed through even though it resulted in adding to end of the week exhaustion and the loss of my voice

-reconciled in humility when I wanted to have an entitlement to being offended and right in the situation

-discovering that my words meant something to people and were remembered

-fresh excitement and hope

-awareness of love

-awareness of dependence

-awareness of answered prayers

-recognition of God's listening ear

-sharing hearts with a dear friend over yogurt

-acted like an adult

-reality checks

-satisfied

-lots of joy; especially in one of my favorite moments... Luis (my 3rd grader who speaks hardly any english) dancing with the quirkiest moves ever in the middle of a circle of cheering peers and bouncing puppets made of pool noodles and pipe cleaners

-lots of prayer

-claiming freedom

-peace and so much gratitude in and for this season

-being a part of something bigger

-falling deeper in love with Him

-His beloved


Life is really great. God is doing things. I'm ready to graduate and I'm expecting great things.
