I've been noticing about myself that I have begun to view the world from different eyes. This has been on my mind a lot lately. My friends will (sometimes too emphatically) attest that I was a pessimist. (I simply think I was realistic.) I just looked at a situation and saw what it was. So, without further defending my sometimes negative nature, I just write that God has really brought me on this journey of recognizing beauty, even out of imperfection. Now, this could be Paris or art or some other fanciful circumstance, but I've become a dreamer. I find myself more and more viewing the world as magical. (And, I've never even been to a Disney theme park! I know, unAmerican, Europeans have told me. I do plan to check out Euro Disney!) As recent posts suggest, there are some days that are grey and dreary, but my world is a delightful place. (Do I sound a bit quacky?:)) I'm OK, I think. I just am realizing that I don't enjoy being around people who complain and I do not like for people to have expectations of me that I could not meet. So, I don't want to complain or have unrealistic expectations. This has been working! I can, most of the time, look at a situation and view it as good and see a person as human, with some faults but also some magic. I don't know...maybe I've visited a few too many castles... Really, I just think that since all things were created through Christ and for Christ goodness is rampant.
P.S. I'm sorry, I'm not a blogger! This is not on the forefront of my mind. Just when I think I'm doing well with posting I decide I have nothing interesting to post. Then, I decide I have a million things to post. So, they all come at once. :)
Oh, and I like pink. Pink is my signature color.

I have seen the change. It is amazing.
I think it all comes down to making lemonade out of the lemons life throws your way. God causes all things for good, regardless of how our feeble minds perceive things.
You, my friend, are amazing. I prayed for you this morning for boldness and for the language barrier to be ripped down. You will be speaking french like a hopeless romantic when you get back to the states! You should learn how to call the Hogs and sing the razorback fight song in french... now that would be awesome! Love ya!
