brrr....

it's cold up here....
really, really cold....
what it would be in january in ga, it is here now....

and, it snowed today!!!
not enough to do anything, but definitely enough to see and enjoy :)
and when i left work, i promptly called my sister to let her know.....i'm sure she enjoyed that....

i can't believe we're only a week away from thanksgiving...november has gone by so quickly!
that means i've been here 2 1/2 weeks already. i'm halfway through my 3rd week of work and of being here in baltimore. craziness...
it feels like it's been longer than that, but at the same time it doesn't.....i hope that makes sense. :)

how the grinch stole christmas was on tv the other night....while i loved watching it, i still can't figure out why it was on, randomly, before thanksgiving....

His Straight, Not Mine

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.

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...
