total randomness


this is me and my sister, doing the graduation thing and taking pictures at the uga arch (because once you graduate, the arch is fair game :)). it would've been up sooner, but blogger and i were having issues uploading pictures.....
i've spent the last few days contemplating a lot and i'm not sure what i have to show for it. however, i truly love it when God shows Himself in wonderful ways.

i bought a book from barnes and noble that i'm kind of excited to read: max tivoli. there's more to the title, but i can't remember it at the moment. it's about this guy who is born to look like an old man and grows "younger." i think it will be interesting.

tonight i'm going to see a movie that will be wonderfully silly and probably amazing: sisterhood of the traveling pants 2 :) thanks to my friend and former roomie becky, i have read all of the sisterhood books. becky loves them and she had them, so i had access to them and read them. when the first movie came to uga for a preview (gotta love college towns), i went to see it with some friends. it was ridiculous and perfect for a night out with some girlfriends. tonight, i am going to see it with one of the very same girls i saw the first one with, miss hannah redd and also with steph. i am excited. oh, the gloriousness of being a girl :)

i had a pita pizza for lunch today. this is also something from college. my friend anna b and i used to eat them all the time. she'd come down to our apartment (literally downstairs...we lived under her) or i'd go up there and we'd eat pita pizzas. they are terrific little creations. pita. sauce. cheese. maybe some spice. cook. yum :)

that's all. i think i'm going to have some magic shell and watch something equally as girly as sisterhood.

enjoy your day.

His Straight, Not Mine

Whenever I have a huge decision to make, I stress. My default mode is "what if I'm wrong??" This has been true for the last 10+ years of my life. College, mission trips during college, where to teach after college, quitting teaching, moving to Baltimore, leaving Baltimore, beginning seminary. All decisions fraught with questions, doubts, fears. And I'm there again. Graduated from seminary, looking for the next step. Wondering. Doubting. Questioning. Hoping. Dreaming. Fearing.  Every big decision is the same. You'd think I'd have learned by now just to decide or jump or trust or whatever. But no. The reason for this struggle is that I so badly long to do what I am meant to do. I long to follow God where He is leading, to fulfill the purpose He has planned for me from the beginning. But I'm only human. And so how on earth do I know what God has planned for me? And how on earth can I possibly do that without screwing it up completely?  I look at vers...

34.

One of the things I love most about my birthday is that it falls so close to the beginning of the year. A new calendar year and new life year start together.  I also love that I share a birthday with Kate, Duchess of Cambridge.  You know, the important things.  I've thought a lot about this year and what it would be like. Not because I've now officially hit my mid-30's (oh my goodness, really??) but what will 2019 and 34 hold? The last two years have been the hardest I've faced. Everything felt like it was breaking to pieces, and I was never fast enough to gather them all up before they landed, or good enough to keep everything together. These pieces were significant chunks of my identity. Things (and people!) I had placed a lot of value in, that I thought defined me, were gone. Slowly, suddenly, systematically, chaotically. It felt very much like I was being stripped away, and that there wasn't much else there.  At the same time, the world also se...

Over the Cliff

In the middle of Prince Caspian, there's a moment. Lucy has seen Aslan, but no one else has, and Aslan's told her she has to follow, whether anyone else does or not. Fortunately, they all agree to go with her. As the set off, she's the only one who can see Him, and she's leading everyone else.  "He led them to the right of the dancing trees -- whether they were still dancing nobody knew, for Lucy had her eyes on the Lion and the rest had their eyes on Lucy -- and nearer the edge of the gorge...for a long way Aslan went along the top of the precipices. Then they came to a place where some little trees grew right on the edge. He turned and disappeared among them. Lucy held her breath, for it looked as if he had plunged over the cliff..." Recently, I feel as if I've been following Jesus and He's disappeared, plunged right over the cliff. ********************* Last fall, I began thinking about words for 2017. I love the idea of claimin...
