Rain. Something I hadn't seen in awhile and definitely wasn't prepared for. It has taken the fun out of walking everywhere in Eugene. I must say school is incredible and I can't tell you how much I love the preschool program along with the teachers. I pray I find a job with teachers equally as amazing. There was one lady who I wasn't too fond of, but I broke her icy shell today and we began giggling over some of the children. It always amazes me how you can have such a strong feeling about someone and one day just get over it and realize they aren't so bad.
Currently I have images of Flynne dancing madly around the kitchen trying to quiet the incessant beeping of our smoke alarm. Apparently we cant cook or the alarm goes off..go figure. Good times with the roommate good times :)
I do want to point out that God is my absolute best friend. In the past year relationships have failed, friends have found new priorities, I moved to a crazy town, and at times have felt lonelier and sadder than ever before. Yet here I am in a place that I never thought I could call home nor did I ever believe I could find a church home that came close to being as wonderful as Salem Heights. For the first time I do not want to go back to Salem. I spent Saturday-Sunday there and I can't tell you how desperately I wanted to come home. Yes I said home. Eugene is my home now. Its where I find solitude, friends, happiness, love, and most of all I have found that God is here just as much as He is in Salem. The pastor @ CCF is focusing his messages on 1 Corinthians 13, the "love" chapter. He has opened my eyes to the word love. In the past when reading that very verse I would quickly assume it meant love with a man but yet he has opened my eyes to see that love doesn't start and end there..there are so many people we need to show love to each day. What a refreshing thought. See Im not crazy for loving the single life! :)
1 Corinthians 13: 1-3
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,but have not love, I gain nothing.
