Changes

I've been blogging now for just over 4 months and I finally wrote something on my profile. 'Bout time, huh? I realized over 100 people had looked at it to no avail, so I decided I'd better get with it.

I wonder what God is doing in Paul and my lives right now. It's strange how we've come to this fall ready for new things. Paul is taking a couple of general education classes at BCC (man, better him than me!). I'm not sure what's going on in my life, though. The Lord seems to be leading me out of my comfort zone (which I usually don't have to go far to be out of!). It started last week when I got up the courage to go and talk with a dear friend's mom who I'd never met before. She has prayed faithfully for Ben through his cancer trial. Meeting someone sounds simple, right? Not for this shy girl. Then I went to sing with a choir the other night FULL of people I didn't know (save a couple). Today I attended a prayer breakfast in South Seattle (I'd known S. Seattle existed, but had been told it was pretty scary) with a room not only full of people I'd never met (not a one of them), but from completely different cultures than my own (except for the fact that we were all believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, which, of course, makes them all my brothers and sisters anyway!).

What intrigues me the most about these adventures in boldness, is that I've really, really enjoyed myself. It's like the Lord is giving me lessons in loving people and not being all wrapped up in myself. Man, I'd love to learn these lessons well!

Once again, it's bedtime. Oh, pray for Ben. His counts aren't responding very well. He received platelets and 2 units of blood today, which should help. He still is plagued with fevers, too.

Love,
