an update

It's been a while since I blogged last...I have been just a trifle busy. My weekend was insane, and I wanted to just stay in bed all day today. However, I knew that wouldn't be a very wise use of my time today, so I slept in an hour late and then got up...I'd say that's a good compromise.

So the reason my weekend was so crazy...I GOT A JOB!!! :) And on my first day of work (on Saturday), I worked a 12.5 hour shift. Yeah...it was pretty much exhausting, but sooooo good. I am working at a pie store and also a catering company because they are owned by the same person, so I'm kind of just filling in where they need me at right now. However, I think I'm going to be trained to work more at the pie store.

I'm so excited. I love my job so far. I love the way that my employers have already made me feel like a valuable person, and the way they have just been so positive. I love working for a local business. Basically I am incredibly blessed. It is so nice after being essentially unemployed for 5 months to finally have a job. I think I have learned a lot in those 5 months, and I know that I probably didn't need a job for those months. It was nice to rest, but it is also nice to work, to have useful labor. I don't think I could be a beach bum for the rest of my life...I would go insane.

Work filled Saturday, but it also had other delights. I made a new friend. I got to share the word about the TOMS Style Your Sole event happening tonight at The Potter's House. I had a delicious piece of pecan pie. I had a piece of delicious wedding cake...yum! I had a late night chat with a dear friend over a plate of cheese fries.

Sunday was a day for rest. Movies were watched, and take away Chinese was consumed. Fellowship was experienced with friends from church, and chocolate chip cookie dough was shared with glasses of wine and much laughter. My roommate was designing a t-shirt for The Potter's House, so I got to see the ideas she was developing. Then we had mugs of hot tea before we went to sleep.

I have so much I want to do today, and yet I feel like doing nothing. There are new recipes I want to try, and people I want to visit, and projects I want to finish. I hate this struggle. I need to just get started and then they will all happen, but the problem is getting started.

Step 1: get off my computer...

happening now.

Peace out yo!

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
