Heaven, come down!

"I know it's not like God is this egotistical crazy man, allowing things to go terribly awry just to make himself look better, and more loving when he does "fix" it. I know it's because He wants Us to bring heaven down, and not just wait for it all to be over, that's what Christ did, He brought heaven here, made it able to be had while we are still in this life, and that's what I want to be able to do, and to be frank, I'm just not sure how to do it. "

Kirstin, your understanding of God and your love for His people ("even the least of these") inspires me in ways you couldn't possibly begin to understand.
Thank you thank you thank you...

I actually have three days off this week from work. It's so exciting to me. I usually work six or seven days a week, just saving up for.. well, whatever it is I'll be doing next summer (buying a car, traveling, going oversees, it's still not clear to me..), and this week Family Christian didn't schedule me at all SO I have Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday off. Saturday is Sweetest Day, and Calla and I are hanging out (because she's is definitely my sweetest!) with my family. We're even getting each other little gifts, and I'm really excited about it. Excited to have even more time to chill out and relax and regroup (as if my five day vacation through the mountains last week wasn't enough! I'm still paying for that, grade-wise..).

..ha. My dad just texted me some scripture randomly.

John 6:63
The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life.

Hm.
Thanks, dad. =]
