The Wednesday Update

I left the blog alone for a while because I wanted people to really be able to see the post about Paul Farmer first if they happened to click on my page. But a couple days is enough to leave it alone... so onwards I go!

On Monday, my beautiful friend and I went for a lovely walk on the beach in Santa Barbara. Along the way we picked up a lot of glass, bottles, and other trash. Cleaning up the beach as we went along both helped to insure no one else was harmed by accidentally stepping on something that shouldn't have been there, as well as made sure that the trash was not going into the ocean and polluting that area for the animals that lived there. It was a simple way to show love to people and the Earth in general!

These past few days (Tuesday and Wednesday) have been a little difficult for me in general. A lot has been going on in so many facets of like that sometimes my brain just wants to explode! Finding ways to choose love has been really calming amid the storm, but it also has been harder for me to find ways to choose love. There have been a few times were I looked back on the day and realized I had been loving people all along without trying... but I do still want to be intentional. It is hard sometimes to not get so caught up in my own world that I forget about what how I am to be reflecting the Kingdom. So I just have to be more intentional in that as the days go on!

I found this picture today and just thought how perfect for this situation! So I am leaving the blog with this today... and will update later.
