wowed
today i am amazed by what i have been given. not material things but salvation, actually.
i can't imagine not having had the holy spirit intervene in my life. i don't like thinking about me being without that. completely and utterly depraved would be a good way to describe what that would be like. despair, in fact.
seeing someone very lost and very in need of that intervention, which can't be given by me, is heartbreaking.
the only good thing is that i am that much more aware of my own depravity and His sole capability. not mine. that's really really hit home today.
For by GRACE you have been saved through faith, and that NOT of yourselves; it is the GIFT of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.
- Eph 2:8-9

what's the formula for a good time?
Four girls+vintage shopping+coffee
That's it.
So that was fun, and I've definitely been busy lately. Working at the pregnancy care center is the hugest blessing in the world. And I can already tell that the Lord is really orchestrating that collaboration. The women there have blessed me so much. And I've already learned so much being there as little as I have.
I can also tell people are praying for this ministry. It's amazing to see. And I'm trying to do that more and more myself. Seeing the prayerfulness of others around me, not just at GPCC but in others too, my mom, etc., has really encouraged me to pray for others more.
If I have a burden for someone or for something in the world, I need to take that and be proactive and pray.
So that's it for now. I have to go and try to get some sleep. My sleeping schedule has been really messed up lately.
Coming up soon:
- Eavan's birthday!
- Leanne's wedding in Tallahassee next weekend

mad world
this song is a remake of a tears for fears song.
it was featured on the donnie darko soundtrack.
there's this strong, haunting paradox between the music, which is so beautiful, and the words, which are so despairing.
actually, it may be the most nihilistic song i've heard... maybe.
