good signs

There is a lot of stuff swirling around in my head that needs to come out. It makes me slightly crazy when I can't sit down and let it all flow out of my fingers. But that won't be happening anytime soon....

I am stealing this time away from the demanding masters of this week: study for 2 finals on Thursday, more Christmas gift acquisitions and wrapping, house cleaning in preparation for Christmas Eve at my house... and so on.... I long to just sit and be. And think. And write. Soon I hope.

I do have a prayer request.

We...um...went to church last Sunday. Shhhh. It's true. A new church we've never been to before. My heart leapt when I walked through the door. I cried for the entire service. I feel scared to death.

I think these are good signs.

So please pray. Because I want to go back.

go see it


Last night Brad and I took the Dakota House kids and staff to see The Nativity Story.

I can't stop thinking about it.

It was powerful. It left me longing for a different time. For purity. For faith. It is our story. It is what God intended. We seem to have forgotten it somehow.

Go see it. Take people with you.
