Oh now this is just funny...

Remember that blog a couple of weeks ago? That one about being a Circumstantial Christ Follower?

... I wrote something about "Lord make me humble! (but please don't let it come in the form of facial disfigurement...) etc". Please let me present to you, answered prayer Exhibit A:


I received this lovely shiner on the Roadside Mission trip. We were trying to take over a paddle boat pirate-style...and one of the teens in the boat jumped out to try to thwart our plot... anyway, I got a foot in the eye and have been sporting this lovely look all day.
Coincidence? Maybe. Answered prayer. Maybe. But the past couple of weeks God has really been working on my heart and teaching me to love, to love, to love, to love. I'm learning. I am growing. I am being humbled. and I am humbled. It is so weird to have something wrong with your face. Especially the eyes. Because everyone sees them! Anyone that so much as looks at me has to wonder "Whoa what happened to her??" and that is not something I'm used to.
Thank you, God.
