shuffle up

Well, I'm back at work. I was surprised to have forgotten that today (Friday) is a half day.. so, when asked how long I would be here today, I said, "oh, the regular times". Looking at what needs to be done and all, I don't think I ought to stay for that long. So...

Lots of things rolling around in my head. I feel a lot more love for my life than I have for a while. I genuinely love my life. Before my travelling bout, I lived my life. And liked bits of it. But I've been made pretty keenly aware of just how good this life is that God has given me, and being humbled by that. Oh, I feel pretty refreshed as well.


Here's a couple pictures of people I went to visit:

hey luke, what makes you say you are enjoying your life more now than ever? what is it about now that is better than before?

hard question, but since I'm having my first jet-lag morning (awake at 3:30am), I suppose I have the time to write. (c:

I think it is a combination of things. 1) Being able to well express love that I have for those I care about. 2) Feeling mutual acceptance and genuinely comfortable. 3) Understanding a bit more clearly that God cares about the things we care about and that it isn't merely the other way.

That seems to be my impression at least. I could probably write a much longer response on that and might see if I can formulate it a bit better, seperate from this blog setting. I appreciate the question, Jeff!

the three points are directly related to being able to take the trip to visit friends. i guess 'spending time' is one of the 'love languages' that i tend more towards, which isn't great for an MK, actually.
