My hunch is that I'm probably not alone in my tendency to focus on the negative over the positive. And being in a new/different environment, far away from the people and things that I love seems to have amplified those things that are difficult. With that in mind, I just want to share some good things that have happened recently...
- Last night was the wedding of one of my closest friends- Valerie
Nelson Strawhorn. While I wish I had been there, I got the next-best thing: one of my other sweet friends, Casey, printed a photo of me and took it to the wedding, where my friends (and my parents) did a photo shoot all over the wedding reception. I was truly overcome with happiness to see their smiling faces and especially to be acknowledged in such a fun, sweet way.
- Today I went to see "Catching Fire," and I absolutely loved it!
- This evening, my roommate, Bennett, and I had dinner with our fellow intern, Rene, and his precious family. His older son was playing with his toy cars under the table, and he invited me to join him. After I managed to get myself situated under the table, he sweetly handed me one of his cars to play with. - Such a simple gesture from a small child, but it truly warmed my heart so much.
Praise the Lord for simple gifts.
