Love...

This marks the beginning of my journey. Many of you have asked me if I was going to blog or how to keep up with me over the next year as I travel and start the internship and at first I was not sure what to do, and after much thought I decided that it was time to start a blog. So here is my first one.

As many of you know I am moving this weekend and it is a bitter sweet experience and time in my life. Tennessee has become my home, not just a place I went to school. I found extended family while living here. The saying home is where the heart is I find to be more true each day. My heart is in TN, and so is some of my family, and as I get ready to part with a place that had what I would consider to be a large impact on my life, and as I move away from the people who have challenged me and helped me to grow, and as I move away from the kids who have stolen my heart I know that the Lord is sending me on an incredible journey to refine and prepare me for what he has called me to do. My heart is happy and sad all at the same time. But what I do know is I am grateful for my TN family and I know that I'll be coming home regularly.

I was reading a book this past week, called love has a face. It is an incredible book, and book that has challenged me in a variety of ways. When I traveled to China a couple of years ago I remember I prayed a prayer the month before I left almost daily and that prayer was Lord, show me the people through your eyes. That prayer changed my world and my perspective of life...it broke me into pieces. This book has challenged to find out what love really looks like through the eyes of my Father. So I leave you with this question today, and yes I would like to respond because all of my questions have a bigger purpose in life other than for you to think about and for me to have an answer to...the answers from my questions are being used for a very important something that I will not be telling you about just yet....

The question I leave you with today is: What do you in your flesh percieve love to be?
