As i’m sitting here eating another (nutritious) snack of sherbet and rice krispies (ps…krispies? really?) and snooping on other people’s blogs, it occurred to me that i could do that. i could write a blog. so i started one.

and then i realized that my life just doesn’t seem “blog-worthy.” (go ahead and coin that phrase- i dare you.)

so, naturally in my rather contradictory fashion, i decided to continue with this blog.

if you haven’t already dismissed this as a ridiculous venture by an even more ridiculous person, i commend your ability to instead dismiss your own better judgment.

moving on.

i will say that the last week has been an interesting mix of ups and downs. hearing about the Haiti donations was a completely awe-inspiring moment. I hope that i never ever forget how i felt at that exact moment, when that “4” came up on the screen. it isn’t often enough in our lives when we let ourselves be struck speechless and can do nothing but cry and rejoice at the wonder of God.

and then to hear the news of Jabez and the saddness on the tail of such exuberance. but, the amazing inspiration a small boy in Haiti could have on people a world away…and yet, not so very far away. what splendor must have met Jabez as he was greeted by our Father in heaven!

i’m going to end each post with a song line or verse or title that is sticking with me at the moment i’m writing the blog. if you caught “Live in Concert” a few weeks ago, you know that music takes our worship from ordinary to extraordinary by the simple addition of a melody. if nothing else, God is felt even more vividly through the song and dance that we give to Him as our small token of praise. So its only appropriate to add a little of my life soundtrack to this piece of me…

“i can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on, and there will be an end to these troubles but until that day comes…still I will praise You, still I will praise You…”
