really something!
1. The sermons have been on suffering, which especially in the past week have been relevant. I've been realizing my limits as far as social engagements and time commitments go and now I'm cutting back. It's nice to do.
Moreso I've been dealing with my extensive daddy issues, which I am now convinced most people have due to less than awesome fathers. It sucks. If any one wants to talk with me on this issue, feel free.
The good news about that is God is faithful and he's using my dad issues to sanctify me, but also for my relationship with Him, because he's the only place I'm going to get the true love I should have gotten from my dad.
2. Grad school for creative writing? Not for awhile though... I figured out I'm graduating Fall '10. Boston in the fall? Hmmm :)
I'm thinking currently about what to do in between graduating and grad school. Something to do with travel.
3. Boys are dumb. It's a God-given form of birth control. Thanks God.
4. I'm joining my brother Josh's community group as a way to hang out with him more. The people in the group are pretty cool too, haha.
5. My mom is ridiculously strong and amazing. God has used my dad's inadequecy to make this happen.
6. Graduating soon means moving out soon, and this is what's really cool about it: in the last year and a half, God has worked tremendously in our family (minus the dad) and it's clear that we love each other a lot more than we used to. We get along now, and I have good relationships with my mom and my sister, and right now God's working on mine with Josh. It's pretty exciting. If I had moved out for college it would be much harder for this to happen.
7. On a lesser note, 80's music is a huge part of my life.
8. On a greater note than previous, so is CS Lewis, although his genius was countered by a little insanity, I'm starting to notice.
9. I'm going to be leading a women's community group. Let me know if anyone wants to stop in some time.
10. Summer is coming! Yikes. Run!
11. My linguistics class is amazing.
12. I made some lumpy vases today- also, somebody blew me off after I said that I needed to cut down on social engagements, saying that it was ART, implying that art is easy peasy lemon squeezy. I was kind of really annoyed by that comment and I'm still kind of mad, and I want to tell them to go make ME some historical vases, that would be nice! I don't think this person has actually made a lot of art. This point also relates to #3.
13. I love our espresso machine.
14. I'm currently writing a story about a girl murdering her father's mistress. Yikes!
15. I finally got some sleep last night.
16. I am currently reading Jeremiah (the weeping prophet). Everyone's trying to kill him and then God smites them.
17. My brother hates it when I say "True story," which in turn makes me think of 'Chareth Cutestory'
"What's your name?"
"Chareth. Cute story..."
"Chareth Cutestory? I like it..."
19. Mine and Marci's new tv pastime is Buffy. Eek :) :)
20. I still think Twitter takes over people's lives.
