underneath things
underneath things we are all pretty fragile. in some sense at least.
there are those certain people or ideas or dreams that really get to you. every time. especially when it all comes down.
i have been having those things pressed upon, shaped and challenged a lot lately in me. i entered 2010 with thoughts and worries whirling around in a constant cloud instead of enjoying the ambiguity of what could happen. instead of dreaming and trusting and soaking in the presence that is always promised to me. i (sadly) do that most of the time when it comes down to it...at least about the things that are most dear to me.
so being challenged is good, because i need to grow up in that area, right?
but as always, He has proved Himself faithful and continues to lift those weights off of me, and the veil comes off and i realize how much time i waste in anxiety. because He is good. all the time. all of the time He is good.
in between and within those thoughts, quite a few things have been happening. brian puts up his thesis show next week! i cannot believe that time is here. we have officially been in new jersey for a year and a half and one of the culminating things of our time here is now occurring.
so exciting! you would not believe these drawings. they are unreal. literally. i wish that everyone could be at this opening on march 3rd. i am so proud of brian and so excited for everyone to see his work.
music is going well in my life, which continues to be a huge blessing. my kiddos at work are getting bigger and i learn form them most every day. we got news that brian is in the final 20 for the fulbright grant we applied to for amsterdam. he has now officially finished applying for all residencies and grants (at least until he graduates).
so the cards are on the table and we are just waiting.
instead of being anxious and doubting what He will provide for us, i am trying (sometimes in skipping steps, sometimes in heavy, slow ones) to remember what He has done. He has done more in our short lives then we could have ever imagined. He is better and more generous then we could ever be. and whenever i remind myself of those things, i simply cannot wait to see what He is going to do in the next few months. underneath, and all around.
(the pictures are from brian's birthday, one of my little girls enjoying painting with chocolate and a new drawing.)
also here is a link to some of my songs:
