by the grace of god.

and only by the grace of God has my heart not yet exploded into a million little hearts.

I would like to do well processing and communicating all of the many things that God's doing right now, but I don't have the time, nor do I have necessary amounts of confidence in my ability to write in way that would keep you reading through all the fine details. So, I will leave you briefly with just this one thing:

In regards to the first sentence of this post, I am thoroughly amazed and overwhelmed by the love my Papa's imparting. This is the thing: I can honestly say that I am in love with, and radically devoted to the calling of God on the lives of our students. It is beyond human ability to love in this manner without any previous relationship. Because He has so sweetly revealed His heart for these students, I am able to love like I do. How could we love so deeply and genuinely without even remembering the names to put with the faces? It's just not possible outside of sweet impartations from our Maker. I don't have words to properly express how faithful and trustworthy our Papa is. When I think about how all of this works out, I am so overwhelmed by love, I feel like my heart's only response is to explode into a million little saturated hearts, that fall like confetti.


I had more to say, more details to share, more stories to tell, but after writing that short paragraph, I just can't think of anything else that's quite worthy of being the follow-up. We'll just wait and see what tomorrow brings...
