Life has been so busy, it amazes me how fast time is going by! There are big decisions looming in my near future, although I guess I shouldn't say "looming" because they could be some really exciting things. God has been reminding me lately of His constant faithfulness despite my lack of faithfulness at times. He is always good to me and I know He will not deprive me of any good thing simply because I am not a perfect kingdom daughter. There are so many strange twists to life and ways that God has for us that we could not have ever possibly imagined. I am so thankful that "His ways are perfect" and meant for my good and His glory. While I consider some more specific things to write about, here is a picture from our recent "Autumn Gala" at the school. It was a fun night out, although I must say that it reminded me of how much I really enjoy the international missional life that I have become more accustomed to. Dressing up is fun for about five minutes, and then I want to be back in a t-shirt with a fresh-scrubbed face. I think our society has definitely misinterpreted God's desire for femininity. Instead of just being naturally beautiful in the way God created us, we think it means primping and spraying and toning as much as we possibly can. Obviously there's nothing wrong with beautifying ourselves, but I just don't really enjoy all the excessive lengths we go to in order to accomplish that. It ends up feeling fake or showy. Oh well...
