gitz - beautiful, really.

but on a lighter note...
I have been having probs with my right contact lens today, and instead of winter, I read 'sweater'. I immediately went, huh, and read it correctly, but for a second... hehe
that was cute... I know - not how it was meant - but laughter, too is a blessing....

@mandy: you CAN write like that. You just must not hear yourself like I hear you.

@darlee: I'm sorry it's been rough... but your summer is there. I promise.

I definately need my invincible summer right now. These past few days have been very exhausting. But who am I to complain... Thank you for the sweet words of comfort.

I'm sitting here, at my desk at work, by myself, reading this outloud and saying "mmm.hhhmmm.." yes. I hear the poetry. It's all wrapped up in the 'i' sound in: In, mIdst, wInter, In, InvIncIble.... brings out the word invincible in a crazy way.

Wishing could write like that. LOVE seeing snippets of your walladoodles!

@lk: I like that phrase "God of the big stick." :) You're right, I think sometimes we forget that He's on our side and hoping we succeed, not waiting for us to fail.

@sheryl: you should make a wall of doodles... I highly recommend it :)

@neas: no, thank you for coming here.

@robin: what you do even matters in the little everyday scheme of things. And you do many things very well, friend.

@sherri: thanks.

@jess: then I'm glad I wrote it... it must have been for you. :) Give E. a squeeze for me!

@vicky: "remembering what we already know" Exactly. It's just a thing where we can't use the excuse that we don't know better because we do. We just choose to ignore it sometimes. [or at least I do :)]

@anita: ahhh... carbs. :) You just let me know when your wall is starting to feel empty and we'll add to it. :)

@michelle: Only a few hours away... you're welcome any time :)

Wow, Sara. Thanks. I feel the same about words. I can't seem to put them together into poetry, but I love reading others' thoughts. A beautifully turned phrase almost makes my heart melt.

Remembering the summer within.

I think one of these days I want to meet you. Maybe, if I ever make it to Mayo, I'll be close enough to visit???

Love you and have a good day!

That is part of what I love about your wall of doodles. It reminds me of how the Hebrew people set up stones of remembrance. I have two actual rocks I went and found when God did something amazing.

I'm on a carb crash so I hope this makes sense...

I generally keep index cards and sticky notes and notebooks with quotes and verses. They are easily lost or separated that way. I don't have a place to paint my walls right now, but I have two canvases to get me started!

How did you get inside my head to know how much this would touch me today?

In graduate school, my favorite quote came from a Prof who taught us that we all need a good definition of learning, and that when we define it to be sure to include this "sometimes, learning is really just remembering what we already know." This has stayed with me always. Now I have an even better visual!

Thanks Gitz!

I needed this today. More than you could ever realize. Thank you.

Wonderful post, Sara. One I'll keep. Thanks!

Thank You!

whoa! this is great. what wisdom. i will need to read this over and over. there is such truth here. there are so many things that i have already learned that seem easy to forget. of course, i initially think of my illness but then i think of the spiritual things. HE is faithful. ALWAYS! summer is within me. thank you for this. (and i think i want a wall of doodles!!)

What have you already learned that seems easy for you to forget?

That our God is not The-God-of-the-Big-Stick. He is loving, faithful and always has my best at heart.
