Still Hanging On...

Sometimes I feel like I only write when things are looking a little grey.  So, I bought a used dryer today, because we need one in our apartment.  That is just the facts, if I were to really tell you how I feel about the whole dryer situation, feelings would be hurt.  So, that is where I will leave it. 


Life these days is sometimes interesting and sometimes boring.  I spend a lot of time by myself.  I have been cooking more though.  I made a apple pie type dessert earlier this week and empenadas.  They were good. 

In the boringness of life lately, I have had a lot of time to think.  No revelations.  Just lots of thoughts running through my head. 

I'm not going to Dallas this summer.  It really was going to be one of the highlights of my summer, but I failed to plan well.  Yes, I did plan, but as we all know 'the best laid plans often fail'.  Now that that plan has 'failed' (for lack of a better way to put it), I am thinking that I will spend some time next week in Charlottesville and Richmond.  It would be good to escape Newport News for a while.  Hopefully, I will still be able to go to Nags Head for at least a few days, before I dive back into the black hole that is employment at CNU.  Wow, I'm just extra cheerful today.  Let's see if I can change veins a little....

Good things that happened today:
I was able to borrow a truck and enlist help to move the dryer. 
I was able to spend some time with Kristen Collins, while she was preparing to move. 
I revived my basil from heat exhaustion.
I started on my next hat for heros.
I began the process of hanging frames for my wall mural collection.
I woke up this morning and have had some time to spend with Justin. 
I ran into Sharron at Michaels and got to catch up a little bit.


All in all I have nothing valid to complain about.  Yes, things have not gone completely my way today and yes, if I had it to do again I would probably change some things, but overall I cannot complain.  I have clothes on my body, a roof over my head, food in my stomach, and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am loved.  I know that Jesus will provide for my every need as He has graciously done countless times before.  I know that He will go before me, come after me, and surround me in every situation that I encounter. 

He will be and always is faithful, even when I fail Him. 

Soli Deo Gloria.

Deuces.  Night.

Free... to grow and change and question and ponder and observe and move.
