Two posts is one day!!! This has got to be a record, hey! tow posts in one month is a record for me :)
For the past 8 months, I feel like God has really been trying toteach me about his love. And recently he has been teaching me what it means for his love to be steadfast.
This is an excerpt from my journal while I was in Goldsboro, NC visiting my grandmother over the last few days of my Spring Break.
"Today I looked into the face of my mother and grandmother and I saw how beautiful they are, how gracefully they had aged, and how very much alike we really are, and for the first time I was not ashamed by it. Latoya, one of the sitters that helps Aunt Helen eat while she is in the nursing home, thought that I looked a lot like Ma-Ma, and I cherish that thought. I feel like I am beginning to find my place in this narrative of my life.
I want to be able to love, to outwardly express it. To show the steadfast love of God overflowing from my life and effecting the hearts and lives of other people. I am sick and tires of living a life of vain conceit. I want to be able to love myself and others wholeheartedly as God does."
