Back One More Time!

Alright, I am back to the blog. Mostly to put on here what I am doing for my sisters shower, since, I am so thrilled! Summer is upon us. I am still working the same job and will for the next year. It has been a great one of that, first job that I really do love and enjoy. Getting into the rhythm of life and a way of living for myself. I have been attending an amazing artsy church. Thanks to the wonderful,L' abri workers! The church is called Grace and Peace, Schaeffers church he started after Covenant asked him to leave. This has been an amazing past few months. God has done some incredible things in my life and those around me. I am growing to feel very at peace and my fears are starting to leave. I start back school in the summer, then my life will really be crazy. Working almost ft and school ft, but I love school and am excited for what the summer brings.

Update!

Well I haven't blogged anything in quite a bit. The updates are...that I have a new job, I am taking this semester of school off. I am trying to work as much as possible and pay off things, save for things and get out back on my own. I had to take this semester off because of money, i wasn't really happy about it. But i know God has a reason for it and there are things I am learning now. 


I have been doing dinners with mosaic, every second sunday of the month. They are going well, it is a community focused dinner. (but I think everything is supposed to be community focused nowadays anyways?) It is going well and encouraging to see people connecting. This past week we talked about spiritual disciplines, which I don't think people enjoyed as much.


That is about all the updates I can give. besides the fact that I am doing much better, as in much better, i feel like a different person. I am looking forward to this next season, as well as spring weather. Also, to celebrate with 3 weddings this summer!

waiting

“Nothing much is happening here I guess - Bob Shelton is waiting for Jean - the dogs are waiting to go out, the thiefs are waiting for an old lady - little kids are waiting for school - the cop is waiting to beat up on someone - them lousey bums are waiting for money - Grove Street is waiting for Bedford Street - the dirty are waiting to be cleaned - everybody is waiting for cooler weather - and I am just waiting for you.” Letter from Bob Dylan to Suze Rotolo in 1962

alone.

In solitude we grasp for any scrap of humanity we can find - in film, books, television, in the grocery store line, and the wave of a neighbor. Solitude heightens our people-sense; every look, touch, and word begin to mean the world to us.

things i like by Anne Lamott

“And I felt like my heart had been so thoroughly and irreparably broken that there could be no real joy again, that at best there might eventually be a little contentment. Everyone wanted me to get help and rejoin life, pick up the pieces and move on, and I tried to, I wanted to, but I just had to lie in the mud with my arms wrapped around myself, eyes closed, grieving, until I didn’t have to anymore.”

“You will lose someone you can’t live without,and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.”
