Gifts...that is the word I would use for this past week, admist busyness, forgettfulness, speeding, billions hours of studying, tiredness, and slight stress induced heart palpatations, but mainly gifts, which I like the best.
Monday night one of my friends left a generous donation check for my trip to Haiti on my pillow with a letter explaining thyself. I was in awe of such kindness and brotherly love. I havent sent out my support letters yet or even talked about raising the funds and yet, God lead him to give. Jesus also led another friend to offer to buy my envelopes and stamps for me. I have the envelopes already and now I have 80 gifted stamps. I went to sleep that night in awe of the love of my heavenly father and how he cares for even the little things like stamps. HOW CRAZY AWESOME IS HE!! gifts are everywhere. we must allow our eyes and hearts to see them.
One more gift I have to mention...friends. I ventured to Manhattan Ks to spend the weekend with my bestie since 7th grade. It was much needed for the both of us and the weekend healed my weary heart. It consisted of laughter from the abs, banana bread, doughnuts, bluestem, nature walk, movie, food, clothes, pranks, words, games, worms, and french toast. Anika is a gift. a real grand wonderful one. and we love eachother.
friends are the bomb-dig.
BAAAAAh, Lu, you're too sweet. Come back real soon! I'll give you a jingle soon so we can catch each other up :) So glad you had fun at the concert last night.
