a few weeks ago, Matt and i went and saw Hellboy 2. random, i know..but i actually like both 1 & 2. anyway, there was a scene when they used these special glasses and could see "the true nature of things." for instance, when wearing them you can see an old lady as the troll that she really is underneath and when looking at hellboy, you see his horns in all their fullness-the way he was intended. (he shaves them down b/c he doesn't like them).
it made me start thinking that moving cities for me is much like the glasses. moving has allowed me to see the true nature of things. i think so often our eyesight gets clouded by everyday annoyances. Our view of people is slightly skewed b/c of a conversation gone wrong or an expectation unmet.
moving has removed all that for me and its wonderful. it's like i can begin to see people for who they are and not with all my expectations or judgements on them.
its really made me appreciate all that i have been given.
we are excited about our move...just a few days away. we will be without internet for the first week so i am sure once i am back online, i'll have lots of pictures of our new tiny apartment and of maggie at the zoo. (my new favorite website: www.apartmenttherapy.com)

thx for the thoughts. it is good for us to see things "how they are intended" with a gracious and real eye.
we're gonna come see you in your new wee apartment! :) although, it's 950 square feet above + 950 in the basement which is storage and an extra room!
love you guys and are praying about the move, the kids, school & friends!
