umm....really?

so....i walked a lot today. over 5 miles (that's right. i google mapped it to figure out the distance). but it was a g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s day today. warm, sunny, a little breeze.

i went first to the library to pick up q & a, by vikas swarup, which is the book version of slumdog millionaire (which i have from netflix right now and still have yet to watch!) so far, the book's pretty good.
then i stopped by the post office and saw kristina at work on the way to the church office. then i walked to office depot and stopped by and saw lauren at work at the shoe store.

on the way out of the office today, a girl stopped me to ask what gallery church is, what we do, etc. she seemed really interested in getting involved and i gave her a way to contact us to find out more. it was a cool moment. one that would not have happened if i had left when i was planning to leave. but as i started to gather my stuff, i picked up the q & a to put it in my bag and ended up reading 3 chapters of it in the office! God has His plans and His timing, that's for sure :) i'm just blessed He chooses to include me every now and then.

i don't have school tomorrow bc of passover, so i was up a little later than usual. as i was closing the windows and the blinds, i see this guy outside walking around, looking kind of like he was up to no good. glancing around, looking at cars, etc. and the next thing i know the car across the street was broken into. and i was so badly shaking that i was not thinking straight, so of course i didn't call 911. and i feel horrible about it. but i did call lauren to make sure she was extra careful coming home from work (and while i texting to find out when she got off work, i was shaking so badly the message hardly makes sense). and when she got home, she convinced me to call the police anyway (even though it was an hour later) and i did. but when i called the non-emergency line (b/c it wasn't an emergency anymore) to let them know i'm pretty sure i know who did it and do they want a description or anything, all she said was "well, if you see him again, call back". umm...not helpful. and i'm a horrible person. so now, i'm awake at midnight and still kind of shaken up and still a little upset with myself.
but no worries, friends. we're all ok.

tomorrow, i'm posting happy things. and pictures of the pretty trees around the city.
i love you.

happy new year! and....a quarter of a century

happy new year, my friends! i hope you celebrated in a fun way and were with people you love :) i was able to see some friends i never get to see new year's eve...and then was back at my parents' house by around 10:15...and was in bed by 11:30.... i did not stay awake to welcome in 2010, but i'm ok with that :) in other news, i'll be a quarter of a century old in a week. 25... i'm not one to freak out about my age (at least not yet) but 25 is a good year, i think. and in honor of my turning 25, i've decided to make lists of 25. because it'll be fun, and who doesn't love a good list? and because i spent yesterday traveling, the first list is a travel list, but is by no means complete or comprehensive....there's no way i could make a full list of everywhere i've been or would like to go.... so, enjoy!! 25 places i've traveled or would like to travel (red = where i've been, blue = where i'd like to go) 1. new orleans,...

Over the Cliff

In the middle of Prince Caspian, there's a moment. Lucy has seen Aslan, but no one else has, and Aslan's told her she has to follow, whether anyone else does or not. Fortunately, they all agree to go with her. As the set off, she's the only one who can see Him, and she's leading everyone else.  "He led them to the right of the dancing trees -- whether they were still dancing nobody knew, for Lucy had her eyes on the Lion and the rest had their eyes on Lucy -- and nearer the edge of the gorge...for a long way Aslan went along the top of the precipices. Then they came to a place where some little trees grew right on the edge. He turned and disappeared among them. Lucy held her breath, for it looked as if he had plunged over the cliff..." Recently, I feel as if I've been following Jesus and He's disappeared, plunged right over the cliff. ********************* Last fall, I began thinking about words for 2017. I love the idea of claimin...
