i can not sleep. superficially it's the fact that i can't breathe that well due to the "cold" i have and if i breathe through my mouth it gets too dry. i've been trying for almost an hour. i also can't sleep because it's just been a long day of tough thoughts. today was the first time that i wondered deep down why exactly God placed me where He has ( Read more... )

this past 24 hours has been really good for my soul. this weekend was the annual high school reunion lunch with my friends from portland. and it was wonderful as usual. every year brings something new. this year jessica is married instead of engaged, esther is no longer pregnant and abel is there, kim and audrey are pregnant, and then of course ( Read more... )

i get mildly irritated by days like today. the days where i have nothing planned and could do almost anything, but instead i do nothing.
something is wrong with my knee. it's been hurting for like 3 days now. at least i can still run on it, though even that doesn't feel marvelous.
i can't wait to go to work. that is so disturbing.

i am currently at work, which i love because i can just sit in the office while kids play basketball and that is work for me. i hate it because these kids are so messy that we had a massive ant infestation today. i now feel like there are ants all over me. sick ( Read more... )

i'm in love with life today. well not really life, but life as it relates to God and people and blessings. i think i'm going to go work out for a bit, read and then go to work and clean my little heart out.
