here's a post of random things

the weather here right now is kind of great. it was hot-ish today, but tonight has been almost chilly.

yesterday, we sent home several kids who were throwing up. one mom picked her kid up and said, "you threw up? are you practicing for bulimia?" i'm sorry. even if you are joking and your kid can't understand what you're saying, why on earth would you joke with your child about that? i about died.

i'm super tired right now, and i'm not sure why.

i had to turn in a theology paper the other day, and it was a bit of a struggle. i've never written a theology paper before....i guess we'll see how it went when i get it back.

my roommate lori and i went to see the movie "one day" last weekend (which my sister and i both wanted to see, but we don't live in the same city :( ). it was a wonderful movie. definitely one that i will buy when it comes out if i have the money :) if it is playing in a theater near you, you should go see it.

speaking of movies, there are a lot of good movies coming out soon.

i kind of like that before all my classes, the professors take time to pray and listen to prayer requests. it's nice.

i just made saints cookies for black and gold day at the daycare tomorrow....i'll post a picture later...

there have been a lot of moments since i've been here where i've experienced deja vu...at weird times and places...and also, several times where i'm not having deja vu but i feel like situations are eerily reminiscent of past situations. it's a little strange.

a verse i read yesterday:
forever, o Lord, Your word is settled in heaven. Your faithfulness continues throughout all generations; You established the earth, and it stands.
psalm 119:89-90

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...
