well

so, it's been a few days since i last posted, and i've begun to realize that when i wait a few days to blog i have so much i want to (really, that means that i've had a lot happen, and i've thought "i could blog about that") say that it gets overwhelming and so i wait longer...does that make sense?

i'm so ready for fall. there's just something about the season that makes it special. football, holidays, cinnamon, cool weather, mmm. i just love it. however, seeing all the fall stuff coming out in stores makes me want to spend money. on clothes, books, candles, music, etc. but especially on baking stuff!!!! fall foods are amazing, and i can't wait to be able to make them :) it's just about killing me having to wait til the season arrives simply for that reason.

the other day i was cleaning out my car because when we moved anna out of athens we had left some stuff in the car and i wanted to get everything out before it overtook my car. it was more of a maintenance cleaning than an all-out scrub down. so, while i was cleaning i found a couple of cds between the seats. i'm not sure where they came from or how they got there, because i cleaned my car out big time in the spring when the weather got warm enough and they weren't there. anyway, i found "now that's what i call music 5." that's right -- 5. from the year 2000. this is what i got to listen to the other day:
it's gonna be me, n sync. aaron's party, aaron carter. lucky, britney spears. jumpin' jumpin', destiny's child. absolutely, nine days. incomplete, sisqo. and more. does it take you down memory lane? it sure did me. back to freshman/ sophomore year of high school. so, if you're missing this cd, i have it.
and now i'm going to admit something i wouldn't normally admit. it may make a couple of you mad (becky :)). the other cd i found was winter wonderland with a lot of singers from the 40s (!!). i had forgotten i owned this cd. so, today on the way to genesis (which everyone in the area should come to), i listened to christmad music. yep. that's right. before september even begins, i listened to christmas music. i never do this. i actually usually get upset when people do this. but i did it. and loved it. and i may do it again.

this is completely irrelevant to most of you, but the other day i repainted my nails. they're now hot pink with a touch of sparkle. i pulled out the glitter polish :)

there's a lot of books i've never read that i think i should. so in borders the other day i bought anne of green gables and the prince and the pauper. any suggestions for future reading selections?

i think i'm going to leave you now. i'll try to be more regular with this.

lots of love to you, dear friend.

1. It does make me a little mad that you listened to Christmas music before Thanksgiving. I thought we had been over this. I even shared it openly in front of 400 of my BCM friends.
2. Was the Now CD you found a burned one? Because I own that CD (sad, I know) and there is potential that I may have burned it for you.
C. Love you!

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...
