a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck

LAST SEMESTER! HOORAY!

You know what I love so much? When things just flow together, not because they match up or make sense but because thats how it happened. I’m not really talking about situations or people- or really anything you’d expect me to be talking about. See, I love writing, drawing and placing little notes in my planner. In my journal, I love to take notes, tape things inside, draw, and write prayers and thoughts. In my school notebooks, I definitely draw, take notes- for all different classes, write song lyrics I’m currently enthralled by and even sometimes write prayers. All of this I’ve  really just started doing in the past year or so but there’s something about it. I like to think life just flows like that- every little piece gets thrown together, bumping into each other and rubbing up against the other pieces. I used to like things all separated and organized- each piece with its own place- and with some things I’m still like this. But there’s something beautiful in letting it all just run together, something freeing. I mean, as a person, I’m not all compartmentalized. I think writing and functioning like this helps me to let go of things in a sense, to recognize and admire the complexity and beauty in the way God created me and daily life. I don’t know how much that all makes sense but I like it. It makes sense to me, somehow.

I’m crossing my fingers for an icy day tomorrow… would be nice to stay inside and rest for one whole day with the roomies!

2009, how fine

Tonight I made yummy- and cute cupcakes! If cooking didn’t involve so much cleaning, I’d cook non-stop. I also bought a crock pot today. I will be making something delicious in it soon! I’m open to suggestions of what to make- who knows you may get to eat some!

I’m going back to school tomorrow! I can’t wait to see you people. The beginning of my last undergrad semester. WEIRD- and so great! 122 days until I’m done. Phew. Praying the Lord will help me through it. Something tells me the next few months won’t be a piece of cake- more like a bite of spinach, good for you but hard to swallow. Anyways, the Lord is faithful and good, so I shouldn’t worry. 

I look forward to seeing you and cooking for you out of my new crock pot! Get ready!
