FINALLY GW and i managed to contact each other, after nearly two months of phone tag. i'm so encouraged by her news of much growth in Him. likewise, hearing of LS's recent joy makes for a sunny day.

praise God for a reworking of my positions at work. it's that unexplainably RIGHT timing again! GH and i have been marveling at this concept lately, how He knows exactly where we need to be, and if we allow ourselves open hearts and minds, that He will put us there - no sooner, no later. immediately coming to mind is ecclesiastes 3:

1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:

2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

this has also shown itself in clearing up several other previously 'clouded' areas of thought; the outcomes are not necessarily as i may desire upon first glance, but later reflection brings about the realization that He was looking out for me after all.

back on track with my reading of the purpose-driven life. one day's material is too overwhelming to absorb in 24 hours, but several rotations of the clock makes it more manageable (more likely to "yup low" this way).

if you haven't bought your tickets to Judith's concert yet, you DON'T want to delay:

HAPPY BELATED 19TH, CUZ! praying you will seek and find Him in the year ahead. missing you lots!

JJ, i have yet to buy a medallion. i think i'm satisfied with just having the stats and pics, heh.

this game is mildly addicting, but try it anyway. :)
