Little things
I've been reading the book Messy Spirituality for almost 6 months. It's a really short book and a fast read, but I haven't been in the reading mood at all. Well I finally finished it last night and today I find myself wanting to pick it up and read it again. Michael Yaconelli does such a good job of reminding his readers that God shines in our imperfections. That being spiritual doesn't mean being on top of the game every minute of everyday. His words are encouraging, especially to this doubting thomas. I've plugged this book before so I don't need to say much more than that.Things are picking up a bit for me which is nice. I have a ton of stuff to do this semester and now I'm glad I only have one class a day.
Leah and Holly came down to visit this past weekend which was awesome. For those of you that don't know, they are two of my most favorites people ever. They were my roommates for 4 years and I love them. Leah got married in August, so I don't get to see her much at all anymore, so it was cool.
Sad story... on Saturday the four of us went to a used book store and they happened to sell puzzles. I love doing puzzles and my roommate enjoys them as well so we bought one. On Sunday we spent 12 hours doing the puzzle. We completed it, but the only time we took a break was a 30 minute Walmart run. We even ate dinner at the puzzle table. The time flew by. It was crazy. I felt like I was 70 years old or something, but it was a nice change from watching tv all day.
In other news... I've been getting a ton of info on Italy lately and talking with the tour company I would like to work for so it's getting me excited about that still being a possibility. I'm still in the dark about some stuff (if you know what I mean), so I'm still keeping my options open. Things are good in that area, by the way. Anyway, my mom called me yesterday to tell me about a job in Arizona that I'm going to be eligible for once I have my degree and it starts at $70,000 a year. I guess I picked the right profession, although it's not really what I want to do anymore. My mommy misses me though, and she is trying her best to get me to come live there. I'd rather not, but we'll see where life takes me in the next year.
Just a little reminder/word of encouragement... God is still in the business of answering prayers. God grants us the desires of our hearts. Pray with expectation and remember that God knows our hearts, so trying to fool Him is simply foolish.
"Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:5-7
