Today I

... sat in a room with a bunch of people all connected through bad decision making, and was told it was unusual that we all got along and liked each other and worked together.  I just assumed that was how it was supposed to be!  LOL.  I am too surprised at humanity it seems.
.
... watched as a woman declared her intentions to voluntarily walk away from the best things she has ever accomplished, and will ever help create.  I feel nothing but sorrow and pity for her, and for what she could have been, if only.  And therein the phrase, "there but for the grace of God, go I" becomes even more of a reality.  OH! How different my life could have been!
.
... am in some ways scared that the future holds BIG things that I can't hold, yet Knowing God is in control.
.
...realize that I may have to fight for what God wants to give me, because even the Israelites had to fight to conquer the Promised Land.
.
...held up my pants with a safety pin.
.
...talked. and talked. and talked again.
.
...saw a little girl that I didn't think I'd see again.
.
...am losing an old dearly beloved friend here in this world.
.
...received hope.
.
...warned of eternal destruction.
.
...prayed.  About lots of things.
.
...corrected. encouraged. discussed. laughed. was frustrated. was cautiously hopeful.  still quietly hopeful.  shared. was concerned. didn't know what to do.  still don't know what to do. definitely don't know what to do.  was cranky.  should be sleeping.
.
...wanted to give courage where it was needed.
.
...wanted to help mentor a few people, if only I had the time, and if they would listen and wanted to change.
.
...had sorrow for another human being who is lost.
