Its been a long while since I've posted. I've gotten so busy that time has passed by very quickly. I hate when that happens because life is so short as it is.

My brother is starting to recover from the accident but its going to be a long road. He called me yesterday just to see how things are going. It was the first time that i talked to him since he got out of the hospital. Sometimes I forget how much I love and appreciate him. Did you know that he gave me his old car a few months back? Yep, just gave it away expecting nothing in return. That boy would give you the shirt off his back!

I had a bad dream about a close friend the other night that left me unsettled. The next day I felt sorrow everytime I thought about her and prayed for her often. Later that evening she told me that she had needed a lot of prayer that particular day..Funny how God works sometimes.

At Shack on the Lake I decided that I wanted to start using a certain tea for my quiet times, although I didn't have any idea which tea it would be when I made the decision. I've settled on a particular one and Bjo was kind enough to buy me some of it (she's thoughtful). The tea that I'm using has a lot of symbolism to me but I didn't realize it until after I had chosen it (actually, I think God chose it for me). It has a bit of a bitter taste that can be eased with some honey but I kind of like the bitterness of it. I think it reminds me just how sweet God is.

I'm learning to embrace and love the way God has created me, something I have struggled with for a very long time. I know it might sound trite, but i like that God has given me the kind of personality that likes to clean. I mean, I truly enjoy cleaning my bathroom and I can let me room be a mess for only so long. Theo says that I'm like this because I am a strong melancholic. At any rate, I like that about myself. I'm excited to learn what else I actually enjoy about the way God has designed me.

I want to live a crazy and bold life. I'm not there yet, but thats what I want some day. I don't want a mundane life, I can't bare the thought of it. I want to be crazy for the Lord in a way that won't distract others but will bring glory to his name. I want more of him!!
