life has ahold of me, love has ahold of me.
i am thankful for:
coffee and my sister's homemade chocolate chip kahlua pecan pie.
my new job, which will be like a deepening and an opening up, a refreshing.
the chance to travel internationally again, which will totally awaken the sleeping parts of my heart.
the ashoka people who are out there, heroically just doing their little piece of life, making it better.
moving in january, which will be like a new beginning.
the allen hood sermon on growth through mistreatment, which nails my heart every single time.
a good and reliable car that i trust, and that i like more every time i drive it, even six months later.
a new moleskine ready to start a new journal.
greg, who teaches me resilience, perseverance, forbearance, and to allow myself to be loved.
andrea, who teaches me that everyone needs to be loved without measure. everyone.
people who are able to be humble, who have been made meek.
brian germain, who gives it all away.
my sister, who is witty and smart and so beautiful. and doesn't even know it.
beaver nuggets. (no, i'm totally not kidding.)
a community that believes in prayer, even when they aren't sure they can do it.
a few days ago i pressed something random on the keyboard and ended up enlarging everything on my desktop. the fonts were twice as large, the icons were twice as large. all of the sudden everything was just bigger. that's how i felt after we worshipped tonight. interesting.
