Sweet Love

God loves me....and He likes to remind me of that because I have a very short memory. Last week, He showered (literally) His love on me in a very unexpected way.

A while back, I remarked to K that one thing I was looking forward to when I get married is my husband washing the car windshield when we fuel up the car. It isn't something that I hate doing. I just would rather not spend my time on it. During the summer it gets especially bad because of all the bugs.

Well last week, my windshield was gross, and when I fueled up my car, I just really did not feel like washing it off, so I didn't. Well later in the day, it sprinkled just a little bit which caused all the bugs just to smear all over the place. I was a little frustrated, and then as I was driving, it actually started raining.

And then my windshield was clear!! God washed my windshield for me!!

He is so amazing!!

This morning I was reading Song of Solomon Chapter 1, and I got to verse 3 which says "Thy name is as ointment poured forth" And I realized that just the Name of Jesus brings healing. Ointments are used to heal wounds, so when it says this, it is saying that Jesus' name is used to heal wounds. How awesome is that!?!?

The newest job is going well. I have day 2 starting here in a bit. I really enjoyed myself last night, and I'm looking forward to another evening of working there.

I ran over to Manhattan today and bought fabric to make myself a couple of skirts. I'm really excited about it, and I hope that they turn out well as I've kind of just created what I want them to look like in my mind....I guess we'll see if they turn out. It should be fun at any rate.

I'm listening to Pandora right now, and the song that is on is Love Song . I'm not sure what exactly that has to do with my life at the moment, but thought I would share it with you all. In fact, I feel rather at a loss as to what I should say as I sit here eating sweet potatoes. I had a lovely run with my roommate, B, today. We both decided that it is much more fun to run with someone than to run outside alone...not to mention smarter as our neighborhood isn't the greatest. Running feels so awesome now. I am getting new running shoes tomorrow, and I'm really excited about them. The lady at the store let me go out on the sidewalk and run back and forth to test them out when I went today to look, and they just felt really amazing. Switching Subjects... I have never really had many guy friends. I'm not sure why. I think part of it had to do with the fact that for a while I was really scared of men in general. Then I went through a men disliking period (I refuse to say

learning to savor

I was asked today if money wasn't an object, if I didn't have to work, if I could do anything in the world, live anywhere in the world, what would I do? I wanted to give her a thoughtful answer, a truthful answer, so I thought about it. If I could do anything what would I do? My heart leapt within me at the thought. It's one of those rare opportunities where you just allow yourself to dream for a minute of a perfect world. What would that world look like? I knew within myself what I would do, and I did my best to express it to this lady. I would have a house on the beach. It would be a safe place, a resting place, a refuge. It would be open to anyone who wanted to come. I would have tea every afternoon with my friends. I would cook and bake. I would work in my garden in the backyard. I would spend hours in communion with my Beloved. I would take walks on the beach, watching the sunset. I would sit on my front porch and soak up the day and night. I would savor life, and I wo

I say Hi!

I have discovered the secret to avoiding awkward situations... things are only awkward if you make them awkward. Think about it. We take our cues from the people around us. If someone else is trying to make you feel awkward, and you just ignore it and go on with life...then they will stop. I was in a situation tonight that could have been awkward, if I had made it that way, but I choose not to. As a result I ended up having a great conversation and was very encouraged and uplifted from it. Anyway...this is going to be short because it has been a very long day and I have a lot of homework to do tomorrow...so tomorrow is going to be a very long day. We finally covered Philippians 3 in Bible Study tonight...so excited to move on. Also, I am greatly enjoying playing chess with a good friend...we are having about a weekly match up. Good times!! I'm getting better, so we'll see if I'm able to eventually pull off a win. Funny how God grants little desires of our hearts. I always k
