The Joy of Life!

Life. A gift. An amazing opportunity to be alive, enjoying the beauty and circumstances that flow from all that surrounds. A chance to serve. laugh. give. receive. impact. Living in the present. Trusting and being filled with peace. TRUE peace from within. Past events and memories not to consume. Future and forbearing left to be discovered as they melt into the present. Thankfulness for this moment.

Sister Surprise

I don't know why I feel so alive...but I do and I love it! Maybe it is the cool yet warm autumn air or the splashes of color that engulf the trees. My sister surprised me last night by coming home!!! So great to see her. We spent the afternoon together sharing and talking...going to the library, cooking and dancing. I just love her more that I can express. Today at the library I got so many different books! I thought about how rich I am. I mean...here I am with an assortment of books filled with knowledge and I didn't have to pay a dime for them! Isn't that incomprehensible? Libraries are treasures.

Last night there was a tremendous thunderstorm. Thick bolts of lightening surrounded me as I traveled home. Sadly disaster stuck as a tornado stuck in the States…southern IN. Also there are riots outside of Paris. I have been in the suburbs a bit in Paris and have seen some of the people from Africa. I have attended a church filled with these wonderful people and a friend from time before has several friends there. I am concerned and wish I knew more. But today God reminded me that I can pray…and that is good. So I will…even though I am still trying to figure prayer out.

I have decisions to make for the future. So many options and people that are hurting and need of care. Where do I go? What should I do? Should I learn French? What about my master’s degree? I will actively pursue options and see where the path leads. Psalms 25:4-5.
