Pondering...

My favorite words...

grace...why do i expect people to pull it together when i can't even get "it" pulled together?  why do we want everyone to package their lives up and tie pretty bows around them?  why do some things that are so easy for some seem like mountains to climb for others?  why does He give us grace abundantly and then we forget to grab ahold and take it and then let it overflow? 

love...what does it really look like?  to me right now love looks deeper than tolerance which in itself is difficult.  it looks like acceptance and seeking the beauty in muddled places.  it means small moments of closeness in the midst of hurried days.  it means looking into eyes and not away.
