home alone. it’s been nice to have "emily time" as i like to call it=) it was a good day that God gave me. when in fact this day can be a bit rough around the edges. church i needed today. the woman who spoke just hit that part of me that my eyes just can’t help but release emotion. people around me i’m sure would think of me silly-tears streaming down my cheeks and yet i have a smile on my face. here is a woman who found where her heart was beckoned to the nth degree. how beautiful when the gift you are given can be utilized for such a great purpose. her gift being business and a heart for those behind prison walls. it never ceases to amaze me that when we have our ears perked and our eyes open-we could be called at any moment to do things that we never thought of, imagined, or thought possible. here was a woman obedient to what her heart/God called her to-that is admirable and beautiful. it just makes me more alert to my own life. there is something underway-something hard, perhaps heart wrenching, perhaps exciting, but no doubt wonderful ahead. you have those notions? tell me your thoughts.
maybe its time for sleep? ….. nope not yet=)
i must say i love what i have already learned as i have met such unique and wonderful people here. thanks for sharing a part of your life, your world, your perspective with me. it’s cool. i’m smiling as i think of some of the things i’ve seen, done, and shared with you. i was doing my usual listening of my personal sound track-rockin’ it out on the train instead of the usual nyc unaffected stare into nothingness and the lovely person across from me was doing the exact same thing-i was grinning ear to ear and wanted to give them the head nod of approval, in fact i may have-i am a dork and i am quite alright with that! peace to you.
do not be afraid.
