And I just showed up for my own life
And I'm standing here taking it in and it sure looks bright
~ Just Showed Up For My Own Life, Sara Groves
My name is Kristy.
I am a daughter, sister, aunt, friend, dog owner, home owner, decorator, crafter, cook, hostess, organizer, and traveler. I have been a dog foster parent, jewelry maker, nursery director, singer, small group leader, and child advocate. I've lived in three different states (one of them twice) and two different countries in my adult life.
But mostly, I'm just a child of God, trying to live day by day in this life adventure.
But now, this is what the LORD says —
he who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name;
you are mine."
- Isaiah 43:1
Your first dawn blinded you, left you cursing the day.
Entrance is crucial and it's not without pain.
There's no path to follow, once you're here.
You'll climb up the slide and then you'll slide down the stairs.
It's foreign on this side, but it feels like I'm home again.
There's no place to hide but I don't think I'm scared.
- Nickel Creek, This Side
why this song?
Kristy, thanks so much for your investment in Gabon. You have sown well and have reaped a bit of it during your time. When you are away (hopefully not too long!), those of us that are there will have the privilege of reaping more, because you have faithfully sown. Well done sista! We'll miss you greatly.
