Okay so my life has been consumed by some really silly stuff lately-- like watching 3 seasons of Grey's Anatomy with the roommate. This is a horrendous addiction I do not advise anyone to begin. But needless to say, I have been a little absent lately.
Anxiety is throbbing, however! As I have previously made known, I am going to Greece in May to work with the Roma people- ahh, a dream. I am leading, yes leading-whoa, a team of 16 students into a revolutionary, life-changing experience (or so I hope.) Blessing #1. .....
Blessing #2. I recently had someone contribute to the funds of the trip-- enormously. I didn't even know where to begin to thanks this person- I felt guilty for them giving me so much. I really had this huge burden of "how will I ever repay them?" I felt like I was going to be in debt forever. But, to my dismay, when I began thanking with as many words possible, trying with all my might to express my gratitude-- guess what the response was. "You are the blessing. We are not providing for you, God is. We are merely His instruments." This is giving!!! True giving!!! When you don't feel like you owe anything. Which only led me to a better depiction of the Cross. Oh praise the One who PAID MY DEBT! We owe nothing, zip, nada, zero... Blessing.
I can barely catch my breath at the beauty of this life.
