Luke 11: 5-10
And he said to them, 'Suppose one of you has a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say to him, "Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; for a friend of mine has arrived, and I have nothing to set before him." And he answers from within, "Do not bother me; the door had already been locked, and my children are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything." I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, at least because of his persistence he will get up and give him whatever he needs.
'So I say to you, Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you. For everyone you asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.
Knock and keep knocking. God is relentless with us. Be relentless with God.

and so many more...
We keep messing up as humans. I thought following the law was what God had called me to do, and when I failed at that, I thought I was so far from God that I didn't deserve to be near Him. I had so wronged God that I should be punished- I knew better and did it anyway! BUT, that says that my sin is bigger than God. NOT TRUE! That says that I'm better at being bad, that my bad is mightier than God's GOOD. NOT TRUE! God's GRACE is GREATER than my sin!

JOHN 14:27
I'm leaving you well and whole, That's my parting gift to you. Peace. I don't leave you the way you're used to being left - feeling abandoned, bereft. So don't be upset. Don't be distraught.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
I am leaving with you a gift - peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.

Putting a bird on it
3/29/11: Okay, big decision approaching in the coming months. It involves a LOT of planning, prepping and praying. It's bound to be a trying time with some fairly anxious moments, knowing how I tend to respond to these sort of things. I like knowing that I can plan things out and take things at my own pace when I need to. Ultimately, I'm in for quite an experience. I'm expecting fear, pain, joy, laughter, tears, smiles, love and most of all peace when it's all said and done. More on this to come...
6/18/12: I finally went through with that big decision on Friday, May 25, 2012. I had planned and planned, and finally, all the pieces to the puzzle finally fit into place.
Yep, that's right, I, Kacie Gauby, got a tattoo.
For many people who've known me since I was a child, it's a surprise, but for others, it's just another part of me being me. If I learned anything about myself in college, it was that I am inexplicably me. No one can be precisely who I am, and no one can come from exactly where I've come from. It's daunting and exhilarating all at once to come face to face with that, but it's so true, and it's been something I'm trying to hold onto and embrace.
So, the tattoo. I want to write out what it means, because inevitably, I am asked what it stands for, and I tend to underemphasize what it really is all about. And if this doesn't really make sense, well, it's really more for me than anything, so...sorry.
My dove is a symbol of my faith. Peace. The Holy Spirit. The Olive branch. God's promise. Prayer. Guidance. Pain. Rest. Fear. Strength. Community. Love. Family. Simplicity. Anointing. Faithfulness.

Dog days of summer
Summer break has started, and I've been reveling in the freedom from middle school with one of the greatest dogs on the planet. One downside is that he hates going out, so I have to push him off the deck to make sure he does his business so that I can go about my day, running errands, stopping by the shop, or just enjoying some time on the couch watching TV. At the end of this week I'll be off to another house to watch the giant dog and the snorter. A pug and a mastiff...such an odd couple, to say the very least, but they are quite low-key for the most part.
At the approach of the summer, my goals were to get a bit healthier (maybe drop some pounds or a pant size), find a job to make some more money, and take some time to enjoy the sunshine and lower stress levels of summer. With that said, I'm not really sure that dogsitting counts as a summer job, but at least it's a bit more income for me at the moment.
I now have a week of the summer packed full of high school students in a place that means so much to me. I'm going to be counseling for a week at the summer camp I went to while I was in high school. I'm looking forward to being back but know it's not going to be the same or as easy as it has been in the past. I'm continually reminded that life is more difficult now, but I'm hoping to be reassured that it is all worthwhile!

Beauty is as beauty does...
I know that I'm a beautiful person, but I don't always feel that way physically. I've been chubby since third grade, and since then I have always thought that boys won't like me because I'm not skinny. I do realise that any guy that is not interested in me for that one reason is not the kind of guy that I want to be with, but it's still not a great thing for my self-esteem. I really love the person that I am inside, but it's harder for me to have the same kind of love for what I am on the outside. I know that God made me in his image and without mistakes, so that hurts me even more to feel like I'm not good enough because of my size. I'm just glad I have friends who are always supportive and encouraging.
