lazy sunday morning

that's what today held for me, and i'm currently still enjoying it....listening to music, a little postsecret, playing with lauren and caleb, reading, uploading pictures....it's been a good day so far :)

so, last time i wrote, it was about the kids in my class and how i got bit by one of them (to which my sister asked if i'd had my shots...). well, last week was "p" week....meaning we learned all about the letter p. wednesday we had a pizza party and talked about all the different kinds of toppings we wanted on our pizzas. we turned the class into a pizza parlor for lunch. it was cute. however, forgetting that i teach at the jewish community center, i did ask the kids if any of them wanted sausage on their pizza. and yes, i was in the middle of the hallway. and yes, another teacher did hear me and said something to me. i completely forgot....oops :)
thursday i had a benefits meeting to go to, so i missed most of pajama day, but i was able to join in on the fun when i finally got back to work (after getting lost again....i'm horrible with directions!). we had a lot of superheroes walking around, mostly spiderman and "su-erman", as one of my little friends says. as difficult as these kids can be, they do have a way of stealing your heart. or maybe it's just me :)

i went looking at apartments the other day. hopefully we'll have success soon :)

friday night a friend and i went to a photography exhibit at a place called the light, which is another church in the city. it was a small show, but there were definitely some cool images and things to look at. it's been awhile since i've been to a show like that, and i was glad it was there for us to be able to go. an enjoyable experience all around :)

i have a new phone! no more broken screen! i can finally see texts when they're sent my way and see who's calline me. no more wondering who that was on the phone or if i have a message. a phone that works properly in every way. such a blessing!

i went with some friends last night to get their christmas tree and some decorations. looking through all the trees and greenery is fun. real christmas trees smell so good, so that's a plus as well! the tree was put in the stand last night, but not decorated because the branches needed to fluff out some after being tied up. speaking of tying a tree up....getting that tree tied to the top of their car was quite the adventure (ok, so i didn't really help....kristina and i mostly watched from inside the car). rope sent through the car and thrown over the car, and when it was all over, the person in the car holding onto the end of the rope to make sure the tree didn't go anywhere. it was the most amusing way to get a tree to stay on a car that i've ever seen.....successful, but still funny....

i love christmas time :)

enjoy your sunday, dear friends!

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...
