so much

my sister is married. it was a beautiful day and everything went smoothly. friday and saturday were incredibly busy and at the end of it, i was so tired. but really happy. saturday was a great day. not only did anna get married, but there were a lot of friends at the wedding i hadn't seen in awhile. it was wonderful to see y'all again! i can't wait to see everyone's pictures :)

today, i went to return the tuxes with my mom and afterwards, she wanted to go to kohl's. while we were in kohl's, i dropped my phone. i didn't really think a lot of it because i've dropped it before and nothing has happened. but i was not so lucky this time. nope. the screen on my phone is completely blank, which means that i can't get any texts at all (well, i can get them, but i can't read them). and wouldn't you know it, i've gotten 2 in the last couple of hours. i tried to respond to them by remembering where all the buttons were, but i don't think i got very far. so if you got a text from me that made no sense, i apologize for that. we went right to the store, where the guy first got my hopes up by saying that i was due for an upgrade and then a couple of minutes later, said, oh no, that's not til the end of november. november. it's early october. how do you get those mixed up? anyway, i've got a couple of options -- find an old phone to use til i'm upgrade eligible, get a phone on ebay, or buy a cheap one at walmart. those are the options i have other than getting an entirely new phone.

i have a request for you, if you don't mind. i'm not going to reveal all the details right now, because i want everything to be set before i share it all, but i would really appreciate some prayer. i need a job, a place to live (kind of cheap and in a specific area), and a lot of flexibility in all these things. in short, the impossible needs to happen (at least, it seems impossible to me, but God is so much bigger than me). please, pray my friends. and if there's any way i can pray for you, let me know!!

much love...

going to drink some cider :)

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...

good for the soul

So, in my last post, I mentioned that I was headed to Atlanta to spend some time with some friends from college and that it would be the first time all of us had been together in about a year. I know I said it would be a surprising day.....and it was. Surprisingly good. The 5 of us have been through a lot together. A whole lot. The good, the bad, and the ugly. But, despite everything that we've experienced together, done to each other, and done with each other (or maybe because of it), the friendships remain. Maybe stronger than they were to begin with. I met 3 of these girls -- Becky, Steph, and Meghan -- freshman year through a mutual friend. They had all gone to high school together. I wasn't thinking that these girls would be such good friends when we met. We started hanging out together all the time. There were several times when we'd be in each other's dorms (along with a few other people) until real early in the morning. Many of my memories of freshman year of co...
