geography

if i could, i would have a home in probably 5 countries.  i dont think just visiting is enough.  =) other cultures interest me so much.  i love the differences.  theres something about seeing others live their lives in completely different ways than i.
the other day i was talking with my dad about the upcoming royal wedding and i then realized that when i was younger and had developed a bit of a crush on prince william...which then turned into an obsession with the royal family, as a teenager...this sparked my desire for travel & world experiences.  from that day on, my curiosity of the world had developed.  i still LOVE to pull out maps of any kind and study them.  geography is fascinating! 
so, i will continue to dream big about visiting as many of these special places i can in my lifetime.  and on friday morning...i WILL be sipping some tea while watching a beautiful wedding happening halfway around the world!

all i need

watching an innocent little baby struggle to breathe because they have congestion has got to be the worst thing!  I've had one LONG week.  both boys are fighting this crazy stuff off.  and the hope of a full nights sleep seems far off in the distant.  but this morning as i drink my coffee, browse through facebook, while garon naps (for what could end at any moment!)  Jesus reminded me that His grace is sufficient in my weakness.  boy am i weak...so today, i will NOT be down, frustrated, overwhelmed or give in.  I believe, trust and have hope that what Jesus did for me is all i need!
