today feels really good. fresh, green, a new start.
i'm so thankful for spring-it gives me an excuse to take crap to goodwill & start things over.
i'm moving people! in with a friend...to my most favorite neighborhood in des moines.
i'm looking forward to my front room, facing east-lots of windows.
also my antique bathtub & nook that i think i may turn into a prayer closet.

i haven't been focusing on His face lately. so distracted.
had 3 beautiful women pray for my heart lastnight.
HOW COULD I MAKE IT WITHOUT THESE PEOPLE?
i would probably just be really depressed & forgetful of my inheritance--the covenant.
did you know a covenant only is enacted after the one who makes it dies?
Jesus, there is so much more of you to know.

yesterday i felt the weight of spending money.
funny how i always thought it was so liberating.

I'M GOING TO BE ABLE TO RIDE MY BIKE TO ZANZIBAR'S FOR COFFEE
(to all non-locals: the best coffee shop in dsm)

praise the Lord i am getting through chemistry.
give me this day my daily bread.
give me this day all the brains i need to understand this foreign language.
give me this day all the patience i need for the difficult ones.
give me this day all the love i can bear so that i don't strive for it.
give me this day all the beauty You can offer so i don't forget your glory.
give me this day all the time i need to listen to & chat with You.
give me this day all the trust i need so i don't start forging my own path.
give me this day all the confidence i need so that i see You in me.
