I have got to start writing again...Like maybe this afternoon. Yes that's what I'll do. I am just sitting in front of my computer contemplating making Sybby Belle a witty character and the pressure that's attached to that. I will make her decidedly dumb instead. (Poor thing) I officially reneg all rights that I've ever clamored for to be the least bit of a "smarty-pants" (brother in law Brett would like the wordchoice). I can't really purposely make my character stupid. How unfair. Her life could have so much more of an impact otherwise. I'll reconsider.
I formally apologize for the lack of blogging for 2008, and 2006 for that matter. I am going to try harder. I think it really is by works that I'm made right in the blogging world.
So here is the update.
*I was the most introverted little grasshopper ever last weekend; I loved it and cried only once. That may be a record. I am currently sitting in my apartment checking on computer stuff. I led prayer for the staff team this morning. It was all about leading out of an understanding that all we have to do is rejoice that our names are written in Heaven. Not leading out of a need to validate ourselves as people with worthy things to say or to have power. Our "selfness" gets in the way so much. I loved the sermon, but ironically enough I couldn't shake the questions inside my head, "Is this sermon applicable? Significant? Because I hope so, since it reflects me since I'm leading..." I'm thankful that the Lord sees the heart of things, we are known by him completely and just seriously loves me like his little girl.
*Listening to Patty Griffin- she makes me feel soulful and like I should be on a date. (Interesting that I would equate being soulful with dating. I'll explore that concept more later if I think it matters.)
*I've almost been out of college for one year. (Please audibly gasp) I can't believe it's been that long and yet it seems like a whole lifetime ago. That is a tad extreme. Maybe not an entire lifetime, but a quarter of a century. I am warming up to change. It actually is healthy. I do miss my friends though.
*I'm going to Nashville this weekend to see about a boy.
*I still like coffee even though I questioned it for a weekend.
*I'm reading a book about surrendering dangerously called "Dangerous Surrender".
*Pet Peeve- Sleeves that get wet when you wash your hands or socks that soak up water on the bathroom floor after you've taken a shower an hour before.
*I'm going to bake a strawberry cake for a dessert tomorrow night.
*Project clean my house is about to begin!
