double digits

one word: radical. read it. it will change your life. seriously. or at least attempt to challenge you to change it.

so we've finally made it to double digits- as in this kid has been gone for officially ten days. its like a benchmark making it FINALLY to double digits- in my mind at least. i mean how cute is he? nothing is cuter than my man in a picture making reference to me and even cooler- with beautiful architecture in the picture with him. my love languages- ah.

i miss him. a lot. status update: he's doing really well and growing tremendously with the Lord. and i'd say at least 75% of his growth involves growth in leadership, which is a result of him leading a team, spiritually, made up of 7 college kids. i mean, my man is legit. to legit to quit! not that he wasn't a great leader before; he is an amazing leader already. i know this from him leading me in our relationship. but its so refreshing to know the Lord is never satisfied with our current status and is always challenging us to grow more. as a matter of fact, during blake's absense, we've both grown more spiritually. getting to step back from him [as a distraction]- a good one at that- and seeing our relationship more focused through the Lord's perspective is so crucial and has been in this season of life. in our case, it has been a wonderful perspective to see through and pray over. absense truly makes the heart grow fonder. i miss this guy so much.
anyway, with him gone, i thought i'd be bored to tears, but its given me opportunities to be rather busy, especially at work. thus the lack of posting. i may have to either start posting when i'm at home at night, or just hold off until work gets slow again. i do miss the consistency of a good post though.
in the meantime, whether busy or lazy, i hope you have a pleasant weekend. enjoy the sun. the shade. the rain. whatever. and if you happen to think of him, pray for blake. happy weekend.

blake's team at the great wall. [fearless leader bottom-middle]
