singing over me
my brother jordan vincent has started singing a song over me - naming gifts & abilities he sees in me, calling me by a new name, if you will. (this is an odd reversal - sort of amusing to have my baby brother doing this) it comes on the heels of an experience that left me feeling like i live my life as an extra in someone else's a movie...so it's been especially provocative in my heart. it is quite something to have someone believe in your innerself...and tell you that out loud, over and over, until you start to believe it, too. it's a gift. maybe i will be able to learn the tune...

teach it to us and we will all sing along with our favorite siren...
hey you - what left you feeling like a barnacle on a ship going down? By the way, did you know that barnacles have the largest penis in the animal world (compared to body size of course) ...and they can be male or female at different times... and they have feathery legs so you don't have to shave...so barnacle away! me
Rachel you are crazy! Do you know how much you helped me? You have a gift, you are able to tell people what they need to hear and connect them with resources they need during hard times. I don't know what I would have done without that lunch we had and you really opened my eyes. You are not just playing a part in someone else's movie- you are on the road to something amazing! I know in my heart that one day you are going to do something extraordinary for women's ministry and you are doing an AWESOME job with Red Tent. If you ever feel like that again call me up, I will shower you with praise!
