From the inside out

Craziness...yeah. I just got back from a week in LA helping with a ski show. Man, that was hard work, long and hard, but fun. We picked up our new student, Melissa, who's from Australia, while we were there. She's amazing and I just love her! What a breath of fresh air - she's such a diligent worker, easy-going, and "heaps" of fun. These last two weeks have blown by in a furry of business, surprise, and awesome fellowship. The renovation I feel on the inside is insane. It is hard to see the ugly things God brings to the surface as He refines my life. In the last few weeks I feel as though I gave in to my own weariness, and I see all too clearly the vice of my own selfishness. It is so annoying to me to see how wired I am to put me first. But God's grace is changing me day by day, little by little, from the inside out.
