"to hit the ground running..."

"...probably means, remembering
not to do any running [away] at all."

we just said bye too.

and already there's something else,
some random thought, or event, or other
that i wanna tell you about.

hm.
im not quite sure where i am.

but at the same time, im gonna go wiiith....
i have no idea =D

and thats okay. < 3


i found a fortune cookie fortune
actually i found two!
in my pants pocket yesterday..



i had left those particular pair of pants..er..shorts
here in davis, while i was in India and AZ

so it was a surprise to find anything in it!

"slow and steady wins the race."

yeah, yeah, i know..its cliche, heard of a zillion times, and not particularly deep.
...but eff.
it was almost exactly what i needed to hear at that point.

after already getting a lil bit overwhelmed with a tidal wave of responsibilities,
priorities, goals, and hopes for the year

it was like God giving me a nice lil reminder to slow down
and not to
get pulled into
that same
"invisible race"
i had talked/mentioned to Nabi before



today we met Hilda < 3



haha seriously was really uncomfy at first
but midway through was able to exhale that out
and be like--eff
i cant say no to cute old-ish ladies
and even more so,
ones that are super sweet
sincere
and..apparently
loves Christ =]

we were stopped to take blood pressures--so random
but i realized midway through that it was a way to minister
and reach out to people that they were doing this

and she asked me if i had any prayer requests
and i was really happy to hear later on,
her being asked
and her telling us her prayer requests too

what she said really stood out to me

she talked about her son
and him not being a believer...so he had like
the weight of the world
on his shoulders

as opposed to us, she said
who could put that weight
and those troubles,
worries,
and stresses,

to God

and let those all be surrendered
at His feet.

and that's when i realized a lil more..
just what i was probably doing wrong
and why i had been
so stressed out before

or what's really happening
when i allow myself to be...

i'm..
shouldering things
myself
instead of

letting them rest
at God's feet

talking to Eunice was amazing =]

she really is..wise
and mature
and just..cares
a lot

she pours into my life
and gives so much
without asking, or expecting
anything back


so many people do

and im really..
really thankful for that.


mm..
my other fortune in my other pocket was..

"soon, someone will make you very proud."

...and today actually
someone really, really did =]






Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
-Collosians 3:15-17
