not successful, but faithful

"we are not here to be successful. we are here to be faithful."
-mother theresa

i just had a 2-hour visit with a professor (my main contact for my upcoming fellowship travel/study proposal). it was incredible. i left her office feeling... i don't know... just right. like i'm really at peace with where i am and what i'm doing. not attaching myself to anything unneccesary (at least i'm trying not to-- and that includes not getting too attached to this proposal that is due on friday, as badly as i'd like to be the recipient of the fellowship), and keeping a straight head on my shoulders about life and living this life for a power that is much, much stronger than myself. God is an amazing God and truly the reason why I am seeking this experience. what is the experience, you ask? i can't wait to tell you about it-- but that won't be until after i turn in the proposal on friday. then i'll jot down some excerpts and fill you in through my blog.

it's yet another gorgeous day... "what a glorious day"-- david crowder band. so, so true. God is good.
