a quick update

driving home from work today i was completely immersed in tranquility. can't quite explain it, just a peaceful resonance in my soul. all i know is MY GOD IS GOOD. and oh sooo gracious. i hadn't even spoken to my Lord at all at this point in the day, yet, He soaked my soul in his goodness by sending such a peace into my spirit that i was smiling by myself in my car from my workplace to my driveway.

i was reminded about how much of a prodigy Bethany Dillon is in the songwriting realm, after listening to her first album from start to finish for the upteenth time today on my drive home. she wrote most of the songs, and at the fragile age of 15! incredible. an album that most definitely hasn't lost it's luster.

also, on my way home i passed a vehicle with the bumper sticker "God bless every person of every nation". how completely true that statement is. it is all too often that we lose sight of the importance of praying for more than just our nation! there are struggling nations in need of our prayers, and how completely crucial it is that we are diligent in our pursuit of their deliverance!

i'm headed to rome (georgia) for a wedding this weekend. i'm thrilled to be making the trip to see a friend from duluth get married! we met at camp all american in duluth and have kept in contact since, and it is such an honor to have been invited into the presence of she and her soon to be husband to watch them be united by marraige!! both of them are such radiant reflectors of the love of Christ and i am so very excited for the both of them.

tomorrow is my last day of work at the learning center. as sad as i am about leaving all of my kiddos, i am thrilled about spending the next several weeks spending lots of time with jewel and ella....my two little obsessions, both of which have been in my pre-k class at the learning center. they have become like family to me and i'm just tickled to have the opportunity to strengthen the bond i have with the two of them!

currently, on this lovely thursday evening, i am cleaning out my summer closet, trying to consolidate my possessions to make for an easier move to duluth in the fall. the more seamless the transition, the better.
