this morning I've been perusing some old friends blogs. oh the memories. its amazing to see people change, grow, mature and becoming all that we've been created to be. and, to remember where we've come from, what we've changed out of, what we've been saved from.
I've also been reading Christmas posts. and, I hesitated to even write something because I wasn't sure where to go with it. but here I am. and here I go.
this Christmas the thing that has been the biggest treasure to me has been time with family and close friends. the kindred spirits. the hearts that are seeking growth, change, pursuit of holiness. the conversations of what it means to love. to forgive. to change. to serve. the iron sharpening iron. the challenges of becoming more of who we are created to be. the times of intercession. of thankfulness and expressing the deepest greatfulness in our hearts. these are the things that fill my heart, that bring joy, that overwhelm me with what life is all about and with what God has so richly blessed me with.
I've been in Pennsylvania the last week. tomorrow I head to NY for a week or two. and, I'm blessed. very blessed with an amazing family and incredible friends. I lack nothing. sure there are dreams. there are desires. there are things I'd love to do and see and experience in life. but for now. I lack nothing.
(oh, and there's this)
if you visit my blog, whether you're a first timer, or a regular. I'd love to hear from you, know why you come, what your thoughts are, what your response is to the deep or not so deep things are that I rant about. I'd just love to hear from you. I'd love to "meet" you! :)

I might as well admit, I check your blog sometime, just to see what your up to. We enjoyed working with your parents last summer. If you remember me?
