One of the girls here often asks "how is your heart?" We often laugh together at it, but it's a "how are you... but how are you really" question, and quite good. So briefly, here is my response:
I woke up today, walked outside, and just stood for a moment relishing the cool, sunny, and quiet morning. I was unexplainably filled with a sense of freshness and joy. Finally, I said my first prayer for time not to speed up and thanked God that I am here. I'm ready for the experiences, challenges, discomfort, joys, and relationships that He has in store for me here this semester. One might say I'm a little late or "geeeez it's about time" but I guess better late than never!
Dear reader, I hope you have a very wonderful day.
Stay tuned for news on pretty great Veracruz adventure, maybe a backtrack entry to a trip a few weeks ago, and a description of a celebration like never seen before that is happening this week!
Erica, I am so happy to hear you say that you are ready for the experience! And I think it means so much more that you have come to it on your own terms, have it be natural, instead of forcing it - it will definitely allow you to take in the experiences so much more whole-heartedly! I love you and I hope you also have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteI agree with what Lepp said! Love you much sissy butt! xoxo K
