I am so totally blessed. God's plan to move me down here when He did couldn't have been more perfect. . . and it seems like such an obvious/dumb thing to say, but wow. . .

I have so much to write about. Mostly I just want to capture this moment, because I know that emotions, while important, are fleeting, and it's good to have reminders about the good things. . . about fulfilling a purpose that seems crazy to everyone, even to you, but sticking with it until you are led to do otherwise. . . about loving and being loved by people nearby and by people 1,200 miles away. . . about realizing that no matter what happens here on Earth, that you are a child of God, and nothing will take that away. . . and about wanting to do the best job you can of continuing His work while you are still here.

Loved. Blessed. Content. Peaceful. Completely overwhelmed by grace and mercy.

None of it from me. And definitely none of it because of me.

It's all about You.
