O, Pittsburgh...

you never cease to ravish my heart!
what is it about you?
the mountains?
the water?
the industry?
the church?
the people?
it can't be the call b/c i'm still in MD.

surrounded by love

i can't hide from the love that comes through so powerfully from the family here.
bringing so much to my life, filling and satisfying.
it's just not possible to settle for less.
there is soooo much love here...and it's pouring out to others...
so humbled by Your love, so strong and so beautiful spilling out on, and through all of us!

whatever was my gain, i now consider loss...

it seems that nothing is happening when looking from a worldly perspective, but when i look at it for what it truly is, i see that it has eternal value...to lose your life for eternal, now invisible things.

this is more than i could ask or imagine...so beyond my understanding, yet so beautiful....so beautiful.

LET ME LIVE LIKE THIS FOREVER...LET ME SPEND MYSELF FOR YOU! what can compare?
your blessing is sooooooo endless, so great...so...more than human words can even begin to explain....

Your ways are beyond any human understanding....YOU ARE SOOOOOOOO GOOD! GOD! You are sooooo good to me!!!!!!!
