it's just around the corner....

SUMMER!


i must say i cannot remember longing for summer as badly as i am right now ever in school. we are just 3 weeks away from finals, which means we're 4 weeks away from summer.
as much as i love school, i'm ready for a break. this has been a really difficult year in many ways, but one i wasn't expecting was staying on top of my work for classes. and i'm ready not to have to worry about assignments for a good long while. 
(and at the end of the summer, i'll be glad school is starting back again :)!)


but for now, there are some things i'm looking forward to doing this summer, amidst relaxing and being able to explore nola some more.
*READ. a lot. whatever i want. all the time.
*learn to coupon. i know, i know -- i just said i'm glad to stop being in school, but learning to do this will help me save $$$, and that, my friends, is quite important. 
*actually be able to start my tshirt quilt!
*for that matter, gain more experience sewing period. i haven't had a lot of time to learn that or play around with it this year.
*gardening! i'm thinking about joining the gardening club here and starting a square foot garden, which means super fresh goodies, and less $$ at the grocery store. but i know zero about that, so summer will be a good time to begin. 


4 weeks, friends. 4 weeks. 
until then, here's what i have left to do (about half of it this week!):
*new testament test
*spiritual formation reflection paper
*missions special project (15pgs)
*hermeneutics exegetical paper (10pgs)
*spiritual formation bibliography
*hermeneutics paper pt 2 (7pgs)
*2 finals
*miscellaneous readings


eeek! so much to do in so little time....i guess i better get started. 
finish well.
summer's almost here!

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...
