on my day off

At my favorite coffeeshop. It's so lovely to just hang out and get some things accomplished. I love watching people and enjoying life. People doing homework. People reading. People hanging out and talking with their friends. Life is good.

I love being a regular at a coffeeshop because then you can always tell who is comfortable there and who is new. Case in point. A lady left her table and took her purse with her. I'm pretty sure there has never been anything stolen here. I have personally left my computer and purse here and left the building for hours and never even gave it a second thought.

I had such a long, lovely quiet time this morning. My body is finally waking up on its own again which means I am finally recovered from the sleep depriving months of November and December. I woke up and had just an wonderful prayer time followed by time in the Word. So refreshing.

My roommate came home last night from her vacation. It is so nice to have another person living in the house again. Also White Collar came back on last night!! So we had a girls night and good conversation, good food and White Collar. Delightful!

I am rather excited that work has rearranged my schedule so I now only work one morning a week which means I can stay out later. . .welcome back social life!!

Tomorrow night I start my small group I'm leading. I'm almost through the book for the second time, and it is so challenging to me, and I'm so excited to share it with the girls who come tomorrow night and the rest of the semester. I have so many fun things planned for us!!

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
