Friends, love, hurt, blessings, comedy, snow....
Things are going alright. I've been spending the last few weeks- month or so basicly getting to know some really cool/neat people. Maybe 2 months now...whatever. Meating new friends and getting to know them, getting to know some old friends even better, and slowly re-establishing an old friendship or two that I thought may have been destined for ruine. Thank God "all is not lost". A process to be sure, but still "a friends a friend forever..."
My summer's been mostly spent working and wondering in frustration, confusion, some sadness and at the end of it all...patience. If I could rewind about 6 months or so I may have chosen to play things out differently. But I didn't...and to some degree I'm sad...and to others...I'm glad..verry verry glad. I'm glad I didn't know all the twists and turns or I would have stayed verry likely in Aus or... as I was invited move to Tennesse...'the LA of rock music'. I gotta say I'm blessed to be part (again) of a verry awsome youth group impacting many many youth each week. I'm in a stupendous Young Adults home group with some pritty nifty people. Great people, some good friends of mine...which is good for many reasons...great leaders too.
Sunday Chicky Hues comes to me and asks me to take on a rather large role in this year's play. I have no acting experience but being no stranger to the stage I imediatly agreed. I got the script later that night and the first reading through was the following night. I stared to read it and found I LOVED the script. The main family in it is SOOO much like mine in many ways. It's what I would best describe as a romantic comedy. The part I was cast for is basicly WRITTEN for me. I swear...there's someone watching my life who wrote this play. It's uncanny really. I can't wait tp perform it.
It seems to me this has been a rather rainy summer, wetter and colder then I'm used to anyways. I woke up this morning around 7:00 and heard on the roof what sounded like rain. I though, "oh shit....commom man....more rain. Like we need this. I don't need more rain clouds." I went outside while my coffee was brewing with an umbrella, it was still dark out. I looked and through the street lights I could see falling from the sky not rain...but something white. SNOW!!!!! It was SNOW!!! Now it was wet, and cold...and dark. And I don't know what the rest of the city thought when they saw the snow. It brought an IMEDIATE smile to my face acompanied with glee and childish laughter. SNOW!!! After 2.5 years of not seeing it....I saw SNOW!!!!
