i might as well just start

i've been putting this thing off cause...well, i always have some excuse. mostly good ones.

one day when i was in college i was standing at the kitchen sink in my apartment and noticed a daily calendar with quotes on the window sill. it was open to the following:

We always have time for the things we put first.
"Seek ye first the kingdom of God."

it struck me. it has stayed with me. it's true. and here it is coming back to me again. buen circulo.

two weeks ago we were at edison elementary school playing on the monkey bars. avery was crossing the bars and as she let go to jump down on the other side her foot slipped and she started to fall backwards off the ledge. cole was standing next to her and quickly grabbed her by putting his arm behind her back and taking her hand in his. he said, "i've got you avery." it was beautiful, gentle. it was so Christ-like. it was such a blessing that i got to see that moment. it brought the Spirit to my heart as it did to avery and cole.

i saw God that day.
