it's ALL done! kind of sad that LGT is now over, just as we (my awesome volunteers/friends & i) were getting to know the kids. jessica and darian especially are cute beyond words...hopefully i'll see them at city north sometime, too. so, we spent the morning at odyssium, which was neat, as was bouncing around on the school bus on the way back...ah, good times :)

the past week has been absolutely INSANE with busyness at work, with one project finishing and the other two just barely starting. i love the st. al's group candace and i have been leading, and can't wait till we meet with them again. not so fond of the self-defense instructor we brought in yesterday, but i do appreciate the tips for escaping chokeholds and landing punches and kicks. as he told us, when you're in a dangerous situation, there really is no time to think, just react! ^_^

the bountiful nature of God's forgiveness really hit home yesterday. i had been putting off dealing with something for the longest time, but His one-time sacrifice is something i can now accept for THAT. thank you, Jesus!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GRACE! you're a sweetie whom i'm ever so blessed to have in my life. thanks for the fantastic phone convos and all your prayers and care! can't wait till we can chill again - which is definitely frequently during Christmas break!
