It is wholly underserved, unsought, but so beautiful when we open our eyes and see the grace that supports us, that holds us up and holds us down so that we do not utterly float into the sky or sink under the weight of our own flesh and bones.<br /><br />Greg and I have been called to teach Seminary. I have to believe that the creator has a divine purpose in this, for I was just blissfully adjusting to being able to sleep in whilst Amelia drives herself in the red jeep at 6 am. I am not certain that I can teach every day, but I have to believe that God has a plan. As we were waiting to be set apart we ran into an old friend from seventh ward--he actually invented virtual reality, seriously, at UW--and I can't remember his name. Gary? Do you remember him Lara? We told him what we were waiting for, and he told us that he taught Seminary years ago, when he was living in Ohio, teaching at Ohio State, and that he got up every morning at 3 am so that he could run five miles and then prepare to teach. He said, "I have never felt so alive." The little conversation was a gift, a blessing, unexpected and so welcome. And I will not be getting up at 3 am to run five miles, but I don't know how this call will change me, change us.<br /><br />I wrote to Eliza today and reminded her that calls will continue to come to her throughout her life, calls that she will not want to take, calls that she will not always want to hear or that she cannot even decipher, but calls that she must answer and calls that will awaken parts of her heart and mind that she did not even know existed.Marni C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06878647689318100663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632941727207751747.post-26453037005065925242012-04-22T23:05:49.932-04:002012-04-22T23:05:49.932-04:00wedges=target last summer. they're falling ap...wedges=target last summer. they're falling apart. not sure i'm graceful in them, but they're surprisingly comfortable.larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13967263058541485619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632941727207751747.post-12247935922730742682012-04-22T23:04:50.883-04:002012-04-22T23:04:50.883-04:00thanks, ingy. jealous you get to hang with the qu...thanks, ingy. jealous you get to hang with the quakers. i wanna here more of this stuff.larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13967263058541485619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632941727207751747.post-13206413890423349772012-04-22T21:52:23.694-04:002012-04-22T21:52:23.694-04:00Where did you get those wedges, btw?Where did you get those wedges, btw?JThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05204273215290917463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632941727207751747.post-59835160225649690042012-04-22T21:51:51.076-04:002012-04-22T21:51:51.076-04:00What a great little lunch!
