Well, it has been forever since I thought I'd share my thoughts here and there on the internet with a blog. I don't know that I'll use this on an every day basis, but it is nice just to have it. Life is so complicated. People make life messy. Relationships- whether it be with family, friends, co-workers, children, spouses, or whoever- are always going to have some element of drama, no matter how much you don't want it to be so. If you want to have smooth sailing all your life then just avoid people altogether. But, if you want to live life the way it was meant to be, then living in community is absolutely vital. On the other side of the coin, relationships include some of the most incredible moments of our lives. Memories shared are so much better than a life lived in solitude.
Okay, so now for a completely unrelated thought. Next topic of rambling: The desire of my heart is to treat people the way God has treated me. I fall so short of this on a daily basis. Grace is more crucial than truth is for any relationship to survive. I mean it. God pours grace on me a ton. I should therefore be able to pour out a little grace on others. period.
Last time I posted, I was absolutely crushed and hated the season of my life that I was in, but seasons come and go and I am in a happy season! So YAY! Winter doesn't last forever! God has given me a great job where on a daily basis I get to work with kids and teach them how to read! I find great JOY in helping children possess a skill necessary to survive in our society! They also bring a lot of laughter in my life and I am blown away at how they love. Children are so precious. Also, update if you haven't talked to me in about 6 months, God had a great guy move to my hometown from NH.- Damon Harvey. He is such a blessing to me and I have no idea how he puts up with me and all my faults. He is so gracious, kind, and super cute! Together, we get to help out with the Middle School Ministry at church and boy is it fun! ha ha! I am so thankful to God for every moment He has given me on this earth. Even the weird moments. I can't understand even a lot of what has happened lately in my life or why, but I do know that God is faithful, trustworthy, and can see a person through the best of times, or the worst of times. What a mighty God He is.
