Good day despite unprovoked attack!

This week we are studying personal and interpersonal development, in other words ... Who am I and Who are you? So I think it goes without saying that today has definitely been a time of learning for me. During the lunch time hour I had a meeting with one of the chaplains, just to discuss how everything is going. Let's just say (without going into details) it was very good for me to get some long enclosed feelings out and vent some frustrations. It was an awesome time, I wish I could have a meeting like that once a week. This is what I learned though. Every day we should say this little five second prayer ... Dear Lord, allow me to see myself through your eyes today - Amen. Do you realize the way He sees you and me? We are perfect and so dazzling beautiful (or handsome c:). You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex. Your workmanship is marvelous; how well I know it. - Psalm 139:13-14 Another way to use the word knit is to say to carefully and lovingly form or piece together. God carefully and lovingly made you just the way you are because He wants you to be unique. He knows you have freckles, short legs or big curly hair ... He made you that way. I encourage you to pray this prayer with me every day. Maybe we can all begin to realize how beautifully and intricately unique God has made us all.
In other news Texas has really mean wasps! I had encounter numero dos with these evil flying insects today. In Georgia if you avoid them they won't bother you. Well today I'm sitting in my chair and suddenly one is buzzing around my head. I tried to stay still I really did, but eventually I had to get away. That's when it attacked, haha. It then proceeded to dodge two men trying to apprehend/kill this horrible insect, but sadly it got away to attack another day. So the score is Kari  0 / Evil Texas wasps 2 (I was stung the first week also).

  1. As much as I am not happy that you were stung, the idea of you running/darting away from ETW kinda makes me grin. ... I bet the time with the chaplain was great! ... Love you!
