How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. - Annie Dillard

My Other Half

Dustin is in San Diego for the week so I've got our small space to myself. I miss Dustin a lot, but I'm very thankful for the alone time. My soul is in need of something and I hope to find it this week. My goals this week:
1. No TV!!
2. Work out daily for 1.5-2 hours. (yikes!)
3. Write and blog daily.
4. Read something inspiring.

This past weekend I attended the Convergence event for women. It was perfect timing to say the least. Not only was it what my heart needed, but it was a great introduction to the time of solice that I will have over the next few days. Five women from Evergreen attended the event which proved to have not a stranger in the place. I immediately felt connected to every woman in there and completely comfortable sharing myself, blemishes and all with them. At the very least, these women's lives inspired me to make the most of mine. However, the greatest aspect of all was seeing how God is working all over this world, how hope that is deep can sustain us through even the most horrible circumstances, how the love of Christ actually changes the world, and no matter how small and insignificant I might feel God will use me if I let Him.

I came home Saturday night after 12 hours of true community completely exhausted. Sunday morning ended the weekend perfectly with beautiful worship music and stories of women who are changing the world by just being themselves. My favorite part of the weekend was the Native American dance that one woman performed for us. It was...full of grace and beauty and longing for God. I had tears watching as she moved across the floor. Afterward, she taught us a bit of a dance and we snaked around the room in a line, 50 women dancing in step together. I will never forget it.

I don't feel like my descriptions are really doing the weekend justice, so you'll just have to attend the event next year (women only, sorry guys)!! To all my Portland Convergence women, let's get together!!

    Too cool about the dancing woman! Sounds awesome. We missed you.

    I especially like this after the 'girlicious' post. Too good to be true. Does this mean I'm watching LOST alone thursday??

    Oh no, Lose is the exception to every rule.
