This girl is blessed.


The past couple of weeks I have felt so much love being sent my way. Both from the US and here in Germany, and today I realized just how blessed I am.

I mean, I am already here in Germany, having an amazing time and experiencing a once in a life time opportunity. What more could I ask for? Yet, it is funny, how God goes above and beyond meeting your basic needs. He loves to love.

Today I received a package from Bryan for Valentine’s Day. I knew something was coming, but I had no idea what was going to be inside. Bryan decided to give everyone else at UVA a chance to love me as well, and I received a box full of letters and gifts from housemates, friends, and girls in my Bible study. I almost started crying in the kitchen when I realized what was inside. [Don’t worry, Mom, not in the homesick way, but in the oh my goodness way.] What an incredible reflection of God’s love. What a great reminder of all the people thinking and praying for me.

To all those who read this, thank you. I am not sure why you do; we all know I am not the best story teller or writer, but again it is just great to know that you care. Today, I am just so thankful that I am exactly where I am and I have people in my life who are so good at loving me.

  2. AMY. You are loved by many, and you tell stories in your blog like you do in person, which makes me happy....like I'm sitting in your apartment at UVA eating that delicious cheese dip...or sitting on the deck at LCCC listening to you. Either way. :)
