humility and my new model
even though i've wanted to write, i've waited for several days because i kind of backed myself into a corner with my last post; i have been pridefully feeling that if i were to write about anything other than what i deemed most important, i would be presenting myself as the huge hypocrite that i am...thanks to Grace and my dear friend Kevin, i'm able to emerge again, discussing things of the here and now, while "we still occupy this little spot." (I regained perspective because of my loving friend's words here while being uplifted and encouraged.)over the past nine or so years, i have witnessed the wonder of a woman whom i have, of late, really grown to admire. i have decided that this person, in addition to my incredible Mother, is one whom i hope to be like when i grow up. she is full of knowledge and wisdom, rich in character and, without question, has wheelbarrows full of personality...she feels deeply, thinks critically, and speaks intelligently. her expressions are matchless, her voice is unique and instantly recognizable, and her presence is sparkling and inspiring. truly, she is one of the most inspirational persons i have ever known. her reputation, as she fulfills her worthy occupation of english professor, goes far before her. i only wish i could have had the opportunity to be under her tutelage when i was a student. she may be known as Mary Poppins on Speed to others, but i will be thinking of her as my new model. (i guess i'm her secret admirer.)

We were on a PEW retreat, and I had the priviledge of helping her in the kitchen and watching the boys and such... how can you not admire someone with intelligence, grace, humor, and homemaking skills to boot? I love to meet women who can make you desire wisdom and family simultaneously...

sms- i remember the pen...i did NOT however, know (or remember) it was from her. amazing a) that she would think of you and afs while on holiday b) BUY you something because c) it reminded her of you two! how beautiful. (and you are, too.)
crs-i am so jealous that you got to have her. what a GREAT memory that must be--the story in and of itself is incredible, but to have had experienced it firsthand...wow. (p.s. still have not finished an e-mail to you! thank you for patience)
kim-i am so jealous about this experience of yours, too! how wonderful. yes, my sentiments exactly. (and i'm so happy that i made YOU happy w/the lyrics! isn't that a great song?) :)
