Who says women think about a lot at once?

...I REALLY want to climb a mountain. I'm going to make it happen. This summer maybe? Yes.

...I am convinced the two snow days Trinity received were a gift straight from Heaven...I desperately needed 1) adventure, 2) sleep, and 3) time to think/catch up on work, and I was able to accomplish all three. Praise the Lord.

...I work for an 88-year-old Catholic lady named Ruth on Sunday evenings. I'm typing up/editing her memoirs for her...she has an wonderful perspective on life, and an amazing testimony. Ruth challenges me to have more patience, write often (and with passion and authenticity), be intentional about the way I live, and pray most often when I don't feel like God understands. I cherish our time together.

...I really want some double fudge brownie ice cream right now. Good thing my blankets are too cozy to make me move.

...If I had the superpower of being able to reach out my arms and fly, I would take off at this very moment. And go around the world tonight. I would probably pit stop at the top of every really tall building, just like they do in the movies.

...I'm sending off my deposit to Ambex tomorrow. This Germany thing is for real. Wow. Yikes. Yay.

...I also really want to jump out of a plane. With a parachute of course. I'm feeling too hardcore tonight. Maybe I should just go parkour off a blade of grass to temporarily get my fix.

...Seeing the kind of love my dad has shown for me-- in all the sacrifices he has made for my family --opens my eyes up even further to the ultimate sacrifice God made in sending us His only son...the "great love the father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God" (1 John 3:1) ...Amazing love, indeed.
