thank you, Henri Nouwen

"Writing is not just jotting down ideas. Often we say: "I don't know what to write. I have no thoughts worth writing down." But much good writing emerges from the process of writing itself. As we simply sit down in front of a sheet of paper and start to express in words what is on our minds or in our hearts, new ideas emerge, ideas that can surprise us and lead us to inner places we hardly knew were there.One of the most satisfying aspects of writing is that it can open in us deep wells of hidden treasures that are beautiful for us as well as for others to see."

I've felt like a dud on here lately. But God is definitely moving and exciting things are happening...it's just hard to find time to sit down and tell you all about it. I'll get better- I promise! Hidden treasures coming soon...

PS Went to pick up my wedding dress Monday. It didn't fit right. I cried. Then I got claustrophobic. Came back at the end of the day. Still fit all wrong. I didn't cry. Tried it on an hour later. Perfection. :) Phew, that was a close call...
