Springtime has arrived in this place, and I feel myself renewed in more ways than one. My life is still about as uncertain as it was 6 months ago...in regards to how long I'll be in the place, how people will respond to me, or how well my body will choose to digest tonight's dinner. But God's brought me SO far this past year, that I feel such combination of emotions (in a GREAT way!) Relief, inspiration, gratitude, praise...all I have to say is PRAISE GOD that He saves us from who we used to be, and no matter how deep of a pit we may find ourselves in...there is ALWAYS a way out through HIM. He calls us not only to something better, but something life-giving. Goooooood stuff.
I just want to give a shout out to you guys who have been so encouraging to me during my time here. You know who you are, I know who you are and God knows who you are :) And God knows that I know (and hope YOU know) that I could not have made it in this place without your support (whew! I'm tired.) You've been a backbone to me during some rough days, to say the least, and a confirmation of God's unwavering call and love through many emails, cards, carepackages, and phone conversations (that have often started with tears of depression and ended with tears of laughter!)
I so richly love you guys, and all I can say is I am honored to walk through the crazy life with you.
