flood the earth

i recently went to a meeting where the stupendous sister dalton encouraged us to "Flood the earth with VIRTUE." she encouraged us to use the internet to do that. so here i am-trying to do my part.

here is the first picture devin and i have together. devin looks exactly the same. i have chubby cheeks, and hair that is 12 inches shorter. i am hiding my right eye because this was the first day out of the hospital after i had my first reconstructive surgery years ago. oh how time has flown. oh how we've grown.

at that time, nothing i had previously experienced was so stretching and testing as a kick in the eye with a rollerblade. of course in retrospect, like all trials, i now can see how it helped refine my course and prepare for other little tests ahead. they are all little tests compared to those others face, but big ones for me. things that i didn't think i could muddle through, but was miraculously enabled to do so. God is so good. i am happy for the small but 'mighty changes' he has allowed to take place in my heart, most often as a result of trying times.
