tired

is what i am....all of a sudden. i haven't done a whole lot today, but i guess i was up later last night than i am usually.

i have really wanted to watch phantom for the last couple of weeks, and tonight it was on! gotta love oxygen....but while i was watching it, a commercial for the new pride a prejudice came on and it made me want to watch the bbc version -- the really long one with colin firth....hopefully i can make that happen soon...

so....olympics thought of this post....the 26 mile marathon is not very exciting to watch....yet they're showing a whole lot of it...they're halfway through! i know the runners are in excellent shape and all that, but it's a little like watching paint dry to watch them run that long....maybe i just don't appreciate it? good luck to all the marathoners! also, nbc finally showed rowing today! i'm not really sure why i enjoy that particular event so much, but i do and it was on. so i watched some of it. australia, great britain and nz are really good at it....

tomorrow is sunday....i'm excited about it....and it's been a little while since i've been excited about church...

i'm also excited about what the path ahead holds for me....i feel God is doing big things :)

love y'all

His Straight, Not Mine

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...
