February 26. Today marks a year since my car accident. As I look back over the last year, I am reminded that God is so faithful. As I was spending some time in prayer this week with some friends, I was broken before the Lord. This last year has showed me that each breath is a gift. Yet do I really live that way? As I look back, I remember the lessons I learned and right now that is so powerful. God has a purpose for my life and for Becca and Emily’s as well. God spared us for a reason. I don’t understand how God works in that way. I don’t know why God spared me and not Grandma. Grandma was doing far more to further his Kingdom than I.
But I do know God has a purpose for me, and I will be faithful. And I think part of my purpose is to carry on Grandma’s legacy by pursuing Christ the same way did.
Hospitality
Laughter Often
See Value in Every Human Being and Love Everyone Well (the poor and the rich)
Life is Precious, Make the Most of Every Moment
Give Until it Hurts
Disciple Others
I desire to be a woman-for-others, like Grandma was. I don’t understand why life happens the way it does, but I do know that my God is big. He cares about each breath that I breath. It means something. I want to use that to glorify him with my whole being.
"I am victorious. I am at work in your life. I hear you and I will answer you. Look back and see my protection, my power, and my hand. Understand that I spared you because I have big plans for your life. But don't look back for long. Don't dwell on that. Remember what you have learned, then look forward and see what I am going to do in you and through you. I delight in you."

Amen to last paragraph. K, Grandma was competitive but I think she would have argued with that statement about who is doing more for the kingdom. :) isn't it cool that He uses us all?
Rejoicing over your life.....

You are a zealous woman, Kalyn. You refuse to settle for less than Father's best for you and those in your life.
There's so much beauty and challenge and truth in your life.
Kalyn,
I love you. Your wisdom is incredible and it is so obviously from the Lord. We cannot wait to see you in May but know the Lord has so much more for you in the next couple of months!
