clearly i have not posted in some time, missing important events in life, but do i really need to continue journaling? it's more private than facebook. also, it's less accessible. ryan and i have a website and send email updates to those who actually care, which leaves this space pretty much my own. we'll see.

So, I graduate in less than three weeks. Currently, I have little idea as to where I will be living. I have no solid leads for a job. And for the first time, these crucial areas of life are no completely of up me. Somebody else is now involved in the big, and little, decisions in my life. Not scary, just difficult at times.

the past few days have been wrought with frustration... i can acknowledge that i'm completely powerless, in and of myself, to do anything good and that only Christ in me can bear fruit; yet, I still feel defeated. after reading an assignment tonight and reflecting on the green letter's chapter "time," i'm coming to better understand the process of ( Read more... )

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way

romans, family relationships and intro to ntm
new roomates
new friends
old friends
colored my hair again
sold my guitar

community showers...

humidity in the non-a/c dorm
music playing
growth awaiting
trials coming
