I'm super stoked.....this year, I met this amazing girl that I truly feel God put in my life for a purpose. She is amazing and so much like me. I played guitar, love to sing and even did sing for years in a choir; played violin; piana and music was my joy. I love art, but am not an artist...however, I love studying the masters and enjoy fine art......
There is this wonderful girl who just have such a joie de vivre.....oh, I love her....and am glad she is in my life.....what an awesome God we serve!!!!!
*who just has such a joie de vivre*........LOL!
Cas, this is such an amazing summary for the last year. It's been forever since I've seen you, but it's so great to read little snippets of what's going on in your life from afar. Well, I guess we're not that far apart anymore. ;)
God's grace in the big things and little things, a beautiful peaceful place to live, getting to be there to watch and participate and my kids grow and develop, the opportunity to grow where I am weak. The chance we had to live with little so every new day was a surprise, so we had a choice whether to rely on God and be at peace, or to fear each moment and despair. The fact that there is a great God to rely on. New friends, old friends, rest and a comfy warm bed and heating blanket at the end of the day. The process of life. More time to read, and write, and do artsy craftsy sorts of things. Music. Hmmm, maybe everything. Except early mornings and toddler defiance :D
