Earth bound as we are, even we can walk on water..

It's like every time I start getting a little bit sad, every time I start losing my motivation or drive,
God throws something in the mix that brings it right back.
I was feeling a little off yesterday. Not bad, not depressed, just a little bit off. I didn't feel like I had my usual spark and I noticed it.
So I get home and what do I find waiting for me? A thick envelope from Kirstin Mara, my friend who's in Uganda right now with Light Gives Heat.
She made me this little poster thing, and sent me a Suubi bead and some tea, and the most inspirational letter I've ever read. My mom started crying when she read it. It was just absolutely beautiful, the way this girl loves her heavenly Father, the way she sees Him in the midst of an awful place, "the beauty among the ashes".

Kirstin: I love you, I miss you, I'm praying for you as well. Thank you.


Today is Sweetest Day, and I'm spending it with Calla and my family. :)
We made it to five apple orchards, which is awesome. Now Calla's napping, and I'm updating some things, and just being happy.
Last night at work, this guy I work with said he didn't "get" me. How I could always be happy and in a good mood.
By the end of the night he was convinced that I've removed myself from reality and just don't deal with pain.
That or I've never really suffered.

HA! If only!
The joy of the Lord is my strength. And I do not have to stay sad!
