chestnutcurlsMy office is a sea of sneezes today. I must have already said "bless you" about fifty times. At least I'm not the one sneezing...yet. :P
This song reminds me of Luke...he always plays it when we have bonfires in the fall. I hardly see him or Myla anymore. They're having a party next week for Myla because she passed her CPA exam, but I'm going to be in Michigan. I'm sad about missing it.
Debra left for college this morning. Last night I went to the house and we had some last-minute sister time. I made her some personalized magnetic poetry words. She really liked them. I meant to take a picture of the box and card that I made to go with them, but I forgot. Anyway, I'll see her next week on my way to Michigan, so I tried not to get too sad about her leaving. It's going to be strange not having her here. At the same time, I'm so excited for her. My first year of college was probably the happiest year of my life. I hope she is similarly blessed.
I'll be getting some new furniture sometime in the next few months! My mother is replacing their couch and getting rid of the dining table. This sparked a whole conversation about my post-Kathy's-wedding living situation, which left me feeling even more confused than before. Today I've come to the decision that I'm not going to make any decisions right now. :) I can't presume to make big plans a year and a half in advance, when I have no idea what my situation will be then (Matthew 6:34). I notice I've started assuming that nothing's ever going to change for me. Maybe that's bad. I have this idea that the world is going to keep turning and I'm going to keep standing still. Other people will move, get married, have babies, get better jobs, get advanced degrees. I will keep going to my administrative job every day, playing flute occasionally, and coming home to crafts, Friends, and a cat. Not that I'm not growing spiritually or otherwise. It's just the outward things that seem to be on an eternal pause. I've read many times that the quiet times like this are when God prepares us for other things. I just hope there are other things.
Wow, I really didn't mean to talk about all that. Does anyone have any exciting weekend plans? I'm going to dinner and a movie with my brother tonight. It should be fun. My brother is great. :)
The end.

Date: 2003-08-22 11:27 pm (UTC)I'm sure God will give you either total peace about what you are doing with your life now, or a vision/open door for what you could do differently with it. I am sure he has some very exciting adventures planned for you along the way.....
this weekend: taking care of 3 nephews and a niece for 30 hours, playing my first sunday as the official pianist ---- and as the ONLY INSTRUMENT! can I die now? ---- loooooooooots of homework, and possibly teaching jon how to transpose piano music as he plays.
the mentioned people-involved activities sound fun,anywhooo....
love you Brenz!!
