reminder: graciously thankful

2 Corinthians 6:14 NIV
14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?

being back to university reminds me of all the things that i missed about the people here that i love and had sort of forgotten than i loved so much.  they're a wonderful family and i'm very lucky to have them.  moving back in today was good.  you reminded me of things here in the dirty T.

now, i ought not be tied to the actions of those who don't know you.  love the person. refrain from the sin.  love like you would.  tomorrow, and every other day, keep reflecting your love in life. i've been fairing much better where the language is concerned.  throughout my time in peru i think i was able to grow in that way. 

but i also have a lot of catching up to do with you after not writing any letters for like 4 weeks. like basically a month.  i'll....do that tomorrow.  or this weekend.  something like that.  and i will at least be on top of THIS.  spending time thinking about and talking to you is important so yeah.

i know that you've blessed me so much in that i have basically everything.  you kept me safe while i was abroad. you gave me experiences i... didn't really think i could have.  you showed me a glimpse of what _that_ is like.  what one side of being a woman is, i suppose.  i think in the whole thing, i grew a lot.  i have confidence in myself that wasn't there before.  i know how to be strong and independent.  assertiveness is important.  peru was good to me.  you were good to me while i was in peru.  and for that i am nothing but gracious and thankful.
