review.

well friends, i've learned a lot this week.

i learned that we can approach God like an idol, just hoping to strike some sort of deal -- not knowing how much he desires to know us, not just fulfill our wishes. i learned that maybe, just maybe, israel's 40 years in the desert was God's heart expressing this -- he wanted them to come into the land of riches knowing him before the milk & honey.

i learned that loud and obnoxious can still equal insecure -- that even the words which seem to cut so deeply, which couldn't possibly be an accident, might just be someone else's hurt coming through. and if i can make Christ sufficient for my healing, then maybe, just maybe, i can have compassion, and step back to see where a friend needs grace and truth, not accusation and alarm.

i learned that my new (as of 10 hours ago) chiropractor has a technique which just might help me with me ankle.

i learned that floating down the old man river is AWESOME, and a great way to cool off and meet with friends.

i learned that moving in takes time, and sometimes the pieces just need to come together (aka, becca better get here soon...)...

hmmm. i learned a lot of things.
