cool people

wow, cool people.

I love people. not that this should surprise me. BUT.. I have found an especially fond place in my heart for emo, grunge, hard core kids.

I just spent the afternoon snuggled into my dearest roommate Linnea's back as she drew the various musicians who played in the living room. random people from all kinds of places - one with two inch holes in his ears and a one inch plug below his lip. Another with two patches of hair 11" beyond his normal length and a purpley black dye splattered throughout that hair. Yet another, and another and another... Some with T-shirts and normal jeans and others who may have walked right off the NY runways, and me. It my leggings and bright blue skirt and knit sweater.

We were quite the crew.
and I loved it.

My heart feels so full in days like this..
so many different stories and all are welcome.

sorry for the long breaks

Realizing that my last post was pretty sullen. It was a really hard few weeks. But it is a time of the Lord's kind un-doing as He takes away our securities and sense of purpose. Create huge God spaces, things that only He can adequately fill.

Romans 2:3-4 "So when you, a mere man, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God's judgment? 4Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, tolerance and patience, not realizing that God's kindness leads you toward repentance?"

It is truely his kindness, tolerance, and patience that draws our hearts to trust Him.
