Currently Listening
Little Women: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
By Thomas Newman
the valley of shadow
see related
this music is phenomenal. it's like going home every time i listen to it.

anyway, i figured - again - that it's about time i update....in case anyone is still reading this. tea in hand, i think i'm ready. school starts next week for me. i got a job at starbucks. go figure. but at least now i can start saving up for an excitingly ambiguous, undetermined (as of yet) summer adventure. i have a wart on my finger. i've tried to freeze it off with this kit. but it won't go away. i made my first successful (if i do say so myself) lasagne. i watched the movie 'dear frankie' and loved it. it made me love living here even more....i am now part scottish. it's amazing what Jesus does to the human heart. how one can go from hating a place, to loving it.
i don't feel like the same person that i was in may. heck, i don't feel like the same person i who woke up in my skin yesterday morning. i think there are some major things He's changing in my heart - reforging, reshaping, and renewing. it can be a slightly uncomfortable place to be in. a slightly unstable place. but, at least for me, it reminds me how very near He is. if i can feel Him changing me, that means He's very close. only a breathless whisper away.
you know how God just drops words into your mind sometimes? well, the word i've been pondering lately is the word 'grace'. it's kinda odd to be pondering your name....but it's amazing at the same time. grace....limitlessly trusting, death-defyingly powerful, perception challenging, unpresumptiously loving.
these words have been challenging me every minute of these days - 'you have never locked eyes with some one who is not intimitely and infinitely loved by Jesus.' -mark conner.
so that's me. hope you all are doing well. shoot me an email. i'd like to know.
love,
-grace:)

oh beautiful person. i love how you go from talking about working at starbucks [i am infinitely jealous by the way] to telling us of your wart. just another one of those things i love about you. at least now you and i can relate in yet another way, i too have had a stubborn wart for as long as i can remember.... i am so glad you finally watched 'dear frankie.' i know exactly what you mean by going from hating a place to absolutely loving it, tho my case is not quite as extreme i think.... i often ponder the word 'grace' too, and how you are one of the many embodiments of God's grace to me. one of the strongest. i think i will shoot you an email one of these days, it's been a long time.... i adore you my dear old friend.

Wow! sounds like you lead an interesting life. I too know what it is like to feel that God is changing you. I recently moved from Durham, NC to North Myrtle Beach, SC. Now I have a job and I think God has given me more energy and is teaching me about serving others. Hope everything is going well for you. If you don't remember me, my name is Caleb Owens. I started going to King's Park shortly before you left. Hope to hear from you.

Ahh Grace...truly you grow into a name.  God so loves you and I do miss you even as I sip out of the London Shakespeare Starbuck's cup that my newest group of British Lit. students love , by the way, especially at quiz time. Hope your classes are going well.  Want to send kudos to a book you might enjoy and which I jsut finished "teaching" at church,  Captivating by John and Stacie Eldridge.  E-mail me soon/  Hugs from all.     Glenda
