"i'm ready to be on the other side of all this drama, looking back...and just seeing all the ways that He showed himself faithful. but i'm not there yet, so be patient with me." (March 11, 2005)

so i'm there now...

thanks for being patient. i know it's been a little while since i've written anything of substance on here. but sometimes you just wanna enjoy the moments you're in without shouting them to the world...you know? it's fun to treat special times like some sort of secret that you get to share only when you want to. and there have been some truly special times recently.

it's interesting that i talked about seeing the ways God would show Himself faithful. i had no idea just how incredibly that one word would impact my life and the lives of those i care about...wow. just wow.

it's such an amazing feeling to sit back and see many of the ways that He used everything over the last little while for good. all the stuff that was so difficult, that i would never have chosen for myself...those things happened for important reasons. reasons that i, of course, could not comprehend at the time. but He knew all along...and His ways are most definitely higher than my ways.

it's just so sweet to be exactly where i know God wants me. not to say that i am perfect or i've got everything figured out...but i see Him at work all around me, in every area of my life. and that is just so exciting. i can't wait to see how He will blow my mind next.
