God is so good to give us family and friends who help us through the stinging life can dish out. While I know God is in control and that everything has a purpose, the human heart still bleeds red.
While romance can be beautiful and wonderful, it can also be ugly and be full of lies and hurt. My wonderful Lord has given me a niece and a nephew to occupy my time and my mind. They reveal to me the innocence my life used to once hold. I've gone hiking with friends at Indian Cove where the quietness and beauty of the desert gives me peace in the fast pace of my student life. I also have my patients, the kids, who need so much love to get better and out of the hospital. And I love making them laugh! I have parents who hug me and pray with me to reassure me the God has so many better things planned for me in my life.
I have friends...the roomies...especially Liza and Michelle who help me wrap my mind around God and his gifts rather than the ugliness of the human heart. Who build me up and tell me that I am funny, attractive, fun, and even desirable. That I need to be patient for God's match, not mine. Who spends an afternoon laughing, eating, and pillow fighting with me to keep my mind busy; and then take me ice skating and DVD watching with a cup of soy chai. I'll post photos and words as soon as I have time.
I have Mammoth again this weekend! I'm glad life is busy and not allowing me to dwell with my thoughts. I'm grateful for my real and genuine friends be cause they are also my family. I love you God!
Love your son,
Eric
