I'm headed to my new grad school tomorrow, for 14 meetings with researchers, professors, staff and students. It started out simple enough -- set up a small tour and meet a prof or two. Look what it turned in to?
My life started out simple enough too. Dates consisted of going to the movie theater (the $1 place on the way to Lansing), perhaps some fast-food on the way home, and then cuddling and kissing on the sofa before falling asleep. Now I'm 2000 miles from home, 2000 miles from family, jetting off to some faraway place for the weekend, with no hope of settling down in the future.
Confusing, to be sure. But I get this sense of pride that the things I'm doing are for a reason. And for the right reason, at that.
One trudging step at a time. One day at a time.
Martin Luther wrote that "love is the only absolute". Earlier today I wondered if even love is an absolute. Now I'm wondering if there aren't more absolutes. Such as: God's never-ending support and love, grace and mercey.

God is Love... therefore love IS an absolute.
