finally.

all day today, all i've wanted to do is take a really big blanket and something hot to drink and curl up. now, finally, i am....sort of, anyway :)

i have a confession. i just saw hsm 3....yes, really. and i'm only a little embarrassed to admit it. i wasn't sure what to expect, but it far exceeded expectations. however, i think one thing that made it so enjoyable was watching it with my sister and being able to laugh with her at the cheesiness of the movie and the reactions of the others in the theater. for example, almost everytime troy came on the, screen, the girls in the audience would gasp or say, "oh my goodness, he's gorgeous!" or something of the sort. so, my sister knew this would happen and decided she would lead the pack. the first time they showed the kid on the screen, anna says, "zac efron!" in this high, squeally? voice and all the other girls joined right in. oh, fun times. all in all, it was worth it, i guess.

i drive up to baltimore on friday! my good friend steph is coming, too, so i'm super excited about that. plus, we will hopefully be able to stop in nc to see becky! i can't believe it's actually time to be heading up that way for real. i've wanted to be there for a little bit now, and really felt that's where God was leading me, but now that it's happening, it's almost hard to believe. there's so much in my life that feels like it's changing. and yes, i realize that moving to another state will do that for you, but it just seems that more than that has/ is currently/ will be changing soon. hmm. something to ponder.

and, finally, i'll leave you with this quote i found the other day because it feels like fall here in ga and the leaves are multicolored, at last:

Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns." - George Eliot

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...

my feet

are killing me. because i decided to wear heels on a field trip to atlanta because i didn't want to be too casual at the state capitol. haha :) we had fun, no matter whether our feet got tired or not. i love those kind of experiences because they're different and unique and fun. we were worn out when we got home, but it was a good day. we started at the cnn center. i'd never done that tour before, but it was interesting. i still have trouble thinking that all that news is done right in atlanta...it's kind of amazing. i always see those anchors on the news and it seems as though they are in some far away place, but no. they're here in atlanta. i learned that the floor of the food court is also a map of the world. the tiles are laid out in the shape of continents. a plus of going to the cnn center for a field trip? starbucks in the middle of the school day :) after the cnn center, we headed to the state capitol. it's been awhile since i'd been there, but it wa...

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...
