so

i said i would post and i'm doing it. however, i can't decide what to write about. the last few days i've had a lot on my mind...things i've said, "hey, i should write about that" or simply things that are happening through living daily life....however, i've lacked the energy or will to actually write anything. and because that energy is still lacking, i'm not sure how much of it will get posted here tonight.
first, i can't believe uga vi is now gone. heart failure. he was a wonderful bulldog and will be missed....but perhaps his offspring will bring good luck as his father did.
second, i had a very relaxing day today. i haven't gone to church in the morning on sundays in a few weeks because i've been at genesis (and i'm not too keen on hearing the same thing twice in one day, no matter how differently it's presented) and i must say that i really enjoy sunday mornings. while i enjoy genesis, i love being connected to the rest of the church. it's a chance to learn and worship with friends of all ages. there's just something about sunday mornings that i miss sometimes. after church, i literally came home, ate lunch, fell asleep while watching a little gilmore and stayed asleep for the rest of the day (the lake wore me out....). until reunion, that is, where we learned about why bad things happen to good people/ why does a good God let bad things happen (great job James, by the way....if you weren't there, you should have been). following reunion, we headed to stevi b's (yum....grease and cheese :)) and then a little starbucks.
third, i spent a good deal of time on itunes recently....i enjoy looking through the music....like a library except with music and not books!......their recommendations for me based on songs i own or have purchased are wonderful, hilarious, ridiculous and fun....
fourth, i have loved this song lately, and i'll leave you with it....it was on the Prince Caspian soundtrack (go figure...)....look it up and listen to it....it's good (and i don't normally like switchfoot, but i don't think it really sounds like a lot of their other stuff)......This is Home, by Switchfoot....
I've got my memories
They're always inside of me
But I can't go back
Back to how it was
I believe now
I've come too far
No I can't go back
Back to how it was
Created for a place
I've never known

This is home
Now I'm finally
Where I belong
Where I belong
Yeah, this is home
I've been searching
For a place of my own
Now I've found it
Maybe this is home
Yeah, this is home

Belief over misery
I've seen the enemy
And I won't go back
Back to how it was
And I got my heart
Set on what happens next
I got my eyes wide
It's not over yet
We are miracles
And we're not alone

And now after all my searching
After all my questions
I'm gonna call it home
I got a brand new mindset
I can finally see the sunset
I'm gonna call it home

Now I know
Yeah, this is home
I've come too far
Now I won't go back
This is home

:).....maybe i'll explain later why i like it so much at the moment......for now, though, sweet dreams.

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...
