one of my goals during my time in india was to first and foremost journal every night, so that i don't ever forget these memories, and also to blog. well the blog part has partially failed, so i decided to just blog one of my random thoughts from my journal and go with it :)
happiness. such a simple word, with such a loaded meaning. for me, happiness looks something like ducking to avoid a million frisbees, hugging little bodies, wiping little tears, sharing lots of germs, smiles, hugs and kisses, hearing my name called a billion times a day, often at the same time, holding the most beautiful babies in the entire world, and laughing until it hurts. often in peoples testimony's, i hear them say something along the lines of "when i started trying to follow jesus, he wrecked my life" well, I'm blessed enough to have had that moment, and continue to have it every single day. i am so incredibly thankful and blessed to have this second family, that sometimes when i try and remember how i did life before i knew them, I can't remember. So thank you Jesus, for "wrecking" my life, and making it so much more beautiful, whole, and fulfilling than i could have ever dreamed, hoped for, or imagined.
