well, it's been a very long while. it still seems a little unnecessary to post if my grandma's not going to read it. but maybe someone else will. i will anyway =). it's nice to have somewhere to think outloud.
i'm back home to a new home for the summer. it's nice to have the busyness of the school year finished and to have time to stop and think and rest. it was good to be home those first few days, even though now i'm starting to feel a little stuck without purpose here. the job search isn't going as fast as i hoped, but i'm still looking and i an application to the Y in town. we'll see what God has planned...something to help me be productive will be appreciated. until then i'm working on that contentment thing and learning during my free time and being thankful for the internet to keep me connected to the friends i dont have with me here. got some good Frank Peretti reading done this week. it's amazing what a big difference the little things make. a book to read, a room to clean...it feels so good to accomplish those things =).
so life is slow...summer's good for that. it'll probably change soon as class and work start back up and i'm pretty sure i'll enjoy that change of pace. but for now it's a good time to recharge from busyness.
hope all is well in your summer.

still seems weird to post if grandma's not going to read it, but i think it's about that time again.
life was slow today. i came home from classes and broke out the potato head pjs to do laundry in and just never felt the need to change back. which led to a nice quiet night of skipping supper and opting for easy mac in the room. the easy mac which blew out my electricity for a good hour or so haha. silly fuses. thankfully the campus safety man came and fixed it. it's been a good quiet day though...talks with the girls around the dorm and just sitting around my room. i needed that after this weekend...i didn't notice that it really was a weekend. and it looks like even after a very extended break, the homework will be done in time. another blessing in the day.
this semester has been so refreshing after last semester. i feel like a lot of the things that God has been teaching me in the past couple of years are coming together and starting to make sense in a big picture sort of way. so that's encouraging. classes are pretty good...especially ones with friends, yay! the grading assistant thing is good too...i like it. i'm enjoying this spot in life a lot right now!
this week my top career choice is teaching preschool...i mean if that whole camp thing doesn't pan out. it changes all the time, but that's what i'm thinking today. =)

New.
new post. new year. new semester. so many things are new.
it's strange to post right now. i usually think to update so that people who don't live near me, specifically my grandma, know what's going on in life, so it seems funny to update now. i miss her.
break's been good. nice to be in the new house with the family. it was a nice semester, but it was draining and break has been a good time to rest and rethink and recharge. life in the country seems a little slower...it's a nice way to be in the middle of christmas break. good time to see my family and play games and sleep and clean and get ready to go back to school and figure out ideas for life. good time to reconsider priorities and focus and see how the walk is.
and now the break's almost over...it's gone by fast. it's nice to be on break. it's nice to be at school. i'm blessed with two nice places to be. this semester looks like it will have good classes. i still love this psychology thing...so i'm looking forward to taking more classes for that. the bible studies are really encouraging and i'm excited to be in those this semester. jen and i are moving into a new room =)....i'll miss the old hall...it's a great group of girls. but i'm excited to move into the new room too...i like my roommate =D.
i looked up the word "new" in the Bible this week. it seemed kind of significant when i saw all the different times and ways it was mentioned, more than i thought of before. it was good to think about with the freshness of a new year here. it goes well with the chance that break brings to ponder life and who i want to be. matthew 22:37 and 6:21 are my thoughts as i'm thinking about the newness of this year. i want to learn about the combination of those and what it looks like...all my heart and where my treasure is...seems like there must be an important connection. that's my hope with this chance at a new year.
that's life here. hope that your year brings new depths in your love for Him. =)
