psalm 16:6

the boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;

except that as the boundary lines fall and even when they are in place i am oftentimes still obliviously petitioning. today i lift up my eyes a little from my litany of concerns and realize that many specific* prayers have been specifically answered when i wasn't looking. i actually feel like swelling up in gratitude.

this will be a good post to look back on i guess when i am nose deep in my usual morass of worries and anxieties again.

*not to put too fine a point to it, but specifically regarding the way J1 has grown and the way J2 has grown.
