pictures and other such things

the last few days my life has been consumed by uploading, organizing, backing up, copying and developing pictures. from my camera, my mom's camera and my dad's camera. pictures from a couple of years ago up to now. developing pictures is expensive. way more than it should be. but anyway, here are a couple of pics from my adventures with the cameras:





me and anna sitting on the bulldog at broad and college, in front of starbucks.







this is me, my aunt nora and reagan at a family reunion last fall.








me, taping a wall in a school in baltimore so it could be painted....one of the few pictures that has me in it from this trip :)



the last couple of weekends have been the property of showers. anna's had 2 showers already and this weekend we're preparing for a third this weekend. i'm not sure what i was expecting showers to be like, but they've been kind of fun. we've gotten to hang out with friends and family, and anna's gotten good stuff.
my last post sounded rather dramatic. i'm sorry for that. i do, however, stand by what it said. i don't know where i'm headed or what i'll be doing. and i'm frustrated. and more worried than i'll probably admit to you if you ask in person. so, if you see me and i seem down, sad, odd, aggravated, or anything else that might be unpleasant...know that it has nothing to do with you, please. and feel free to ask me about my life, but know that i may have no answers for you. and that i love you.


so, the other day i finished reading "the tale of despereaux" by kate dicamillo. it was interesting and had a lot of great stuff in it. soon, i'll tell you a lot more about it. :)

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...
