Just Because...

This is one of my favorite pics, our last vacation...standing in the middle of a narrow road on the way from Kalapana to Volcano on the Big Island.


July was a looong month! And worth it...

Thank God for the patience, kindness and general compassion of those I both live with and work with.


How did I get to this point of my life? To be so blessed and to know that I'm driving out of a place that was dark, dreary & unpropitious ... into one that's full of light, love & God.

Totally by God's grace.

My prayer is to be able to take the tools that were made available to me...
to be able to get out of that dark, dreary and unpropitious place
and share them with others so that my life can be a blessing to others.

Because of this,:
~reading to retain knowledge long enough to hopefully ace test
~writing papers
~fighting morning traffic (something I pretty much never had to do with my current position)
~and much prayer for endurance
is on the horizon.

Meanwhile, I'm gonna enjoy these last few weeks and try to rearrange my life to make room for the exciting new path that's being set before me...and fit in a bunch of time at my sewing machine.

Maybe a quilt is in the future? :)
