dear heart

Sometimes life appears to be moving in slow motion. Other times I can't seem to catch up. Right now I feel like God had me in slow motion and then hit the fast forward button, and I'm left trying to process everything. In the last two days so much has happened that I don't even know where to begin.

For starters--I AM HOME. After a long and tiring week and a half, I have actually made it home, although my desire to sleep in my own bed has been thwarted for an additional two nights.

My sister and her boyfriend were bringing my car to me so I could come home after BAK ended. On their way they encountered some heavy rains, and they ended up hydroplaning and hit a concrete barrier with the side of Trudy. Thankfully they are both okay although a little shaken up. That did leave me in Kansas without a car, and after a week of just wanting to come home and sleep in my own bed...let's just say I shed a few tears.

Enter Parents. My amazing parents drove me down to SGF so that I could be home and so that I could go to my church on Sunday. What an amazing blessing!! They also took all day yesterday and helped me move out of my apartment and into K's house. I was planning on this move...but just not quite this soon. By the time we finished it was late, so mis padres crashed in my bed at K's and then left early this morning.

For the moment, I am borrowing a truck that K's parents are generously allowing me to drive, so I do have a method of travel which is delightful. However, I am kind of hoping by the end of the week to have my motorcycle. But...insurance is killer!

And not having a job...yeah...if I was into worry, then I would have a lot of opportunities currently to do so. But I'm not into worry. God set me free so I don't have to worry. Thank you Jesus!

For now, I'm just going to try to focus on the things I need to get done...unpacking so I can find my clothes would be a good place to start, I think. :)

Also a tiny touch of sadness...I'm going to have to get a new Bible because mine got a bit water soaked during last week's combo of rain and tent and is now slightly molding and smelly...there were a few tears shed over my lovely teal-colored duck tape covered treasure. :(

A passage from my Bible reading this morning which is giving me great comfort: "Commit you way to the Lord; trust in Him, and He will act." Psalm 37:5

Well...I have things to get done...and summer Bible Study starts at PoHo tonight!! So excited!

Called Beauty

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
