The power..

These past few days have really had my brain spinning. Last Wednesday we were hit pretty hard by a few storms... some damage, no one was really hurt-- but, nearly 500,000 people were without electricity for days.. and there are still nearly 1/4 of those people who have yet to regain power.

So what has been rattling my brain is how dependent we are on electricity! I can't count how many times I complained this past week, which is probably nothing compared to the majority of people. But then I got to thinking about when I was in the Dominican on a mission trip and how the power didn't just go out for a few days, but there was no power period. I cannot remember myself or any team members complaining about it... because we never had it to begin with. What was the power we had? Not cable, internet, video games, air conditioning-- but we enjoyed each other's company, spending time with kids, loving on people, etc... So why can't we, here, amidst all the things of the world, do the same? Our lives have become so crowded with THINGS that we don't enjoy each other and the natural things the Lord has given us.

I want the power in my life to remain from Jesus--- not by things this world has to offer.

I am so ready to go where He wants me...

For now, just waiting....

Life is...

Simply amazing.

It's incredible to see how God handles things and situations when you let Him.

I really don't have any exciting stories other than just laying out how incredible every moment of my life is. That could get boring...
