| Some great things that happened in the last month and a half... I got to go to IN for my friend Shauna's wedding and be a bridesmaid. Went to my former roommates weddings last week. Yes two in one week. Ruth got married on July 6th and Heidi on July 12th. Moved into a new house. Love the new roommates and the location as well I pretty much have my own apartment except for a kitchen. Also in the last month and a half... Three of my favirote jeans ripped. So good bye to them. I have other pants so it's okay. My cell phone broke and I lost all my numbers. But praise Jesus my friend gave me his old one. But tonight as I was going to pick up a can opener from a friend. My car broke. Yep as I put it in reverse the clutch totally went out. So I can not put it into any gears. Thankfuly I was on my street so I had four guys I know come and push it to the side of the road and I left it there. Two of them even walked me home. I am thankful for friends. Have no idea who to have look at it. Don't have the money to get it fixed much less to even get if towed if I have to. And still I know even when I don't have parents that I can call to help I have a Father who gave me the car in the first place. And I am believing that he will either provide for it to be fixed and someone to fix it or provide a new car. So if you read this and don't mind please agree with me in asking Him to do so. Thanks | | |
| Random story that I have to share. Yesterday I was going to Starbucks in Leawood KS where my new friend Christina works. (side note. who I met on a running trail.) So as I park my car I am on the phone with my friend Gregory who works with me at the Cheesecake Factory. Two ladies pull into the parking spot next to me. I get off the phone on open my door. Wacking there car with my door. What the heck I think to myself as I know I normally always pay attention to things like that. So I close my door and the lady backs up and reparks further away. We all get out of the car. She walks around and I quickly apologize for hitting her car with my door. She asks if it’s dented and sees it is not and says it’s okay. Needless to say as I wait for my friend I was embarrassed. So on this lovely slow night at the Cheesecake Factory. I have a couple that come in and sit at my table. I greet them and notice that the woman looks familiar. I ask her if she is someones sister. Nope. I tell them I go to IHOP. And they reply "oh we were on staff there fore seven years." So that’s it that is how we recognize each other. Well my friend Gregory takes there food out to them and talks to them a minute. As he is also a fellow IHOPer. He tells me it is Seth Parks and his wife. I know the name cause if you have spent any time around IHOP it is very likely that you have heard his songs sung. They finish eating and I take them there change. Thinking once again how familiar his wife looks but not being able to place her at all. Well what do you know. She is able to place me. Now the interesting thing is normally I always notice IHOPers who come in cause they are in there normal clothes like I see them in ther prayer room. But it is rare that at work people recognize me. She did and not only did she but she finally why as well. And asks..."were you at Starbucks yesterday?" CRAP! How does that happen. Of all things the lady whose car I hit with my door the day before and her husband come in and eat at the Cheesecake Factory and I end up being there server. To top it off its Seth Parks and his wife. Why are I surprised. Yes I apoligized again and we all laughed a bit. I told them how around a month ago I pulled into the CVS parking lot and a little old man was backing up in front of me. As I set waiting for him to see me I hit my horn when it became apparent that he did not see me behind him. Well the horn did not work cause he preceeded to back into my car, stop then pull forward and park. I parked and my friend Daniel and I got out of my car and checked the bummer. It was fine. But the thing that got me was that the guy walked on into CVS and acted like nothing happened at all. Yep I was frustrated that he did not say sorry or acknowlege that he’d backed into me. I soon let it go giving him some benifit of the doubt that he just did not hear my horn and did not fill his car hit mine. Which lead to the question... should people not be able to drive after a certain age? By the way Seth Parks and his gracious wife did tip me. They joked and said it was going to come out of my tip. But we all found it to be crazy. So be careful when you pull in behind old guys as well when you open your car door. |

| That's right it is negative seven degree's outside at the moment. No I am not in Kansas City. Drove up to Minneapolis with one of my roommates Bethany yesterday. So visiting my dear friend Lynette. How I enjoy being around her. She has an amazing excitment for life and is so sensitive to what Jesus wants her to do or is saying to her. I have seen as her desire for Jesus overwelms her at times and I see it as such a gift from Him to her. That sounds like something Mike Bickle would say but I believe it. And it causes me to want Him more and to give more of myself to Him. She blesses Jesus in every season. So it is negative seven. I have on a flannel pj's a long sleeve shirt, a hoodie, a fleece coat and two pairs of socks as well covered with a down blanket my toes, fingers and nose are still cold. Despite this it is worth it to be around her. All I have to say is, Lynette next time you are coming to Kansas City unless its late spring or summer. Tonight we saw the Lunar eclipse. Wow! | | |
| Emotions are such a funny thing. At least mine sure are. Does anyone else feel like there's is as well? That's a silly question cause I know lots of people and I'd have to say that I could probably answer that question with a freaken big postive. How is it that in one small moment in time I can miss one person so much that is hurts and feel like he broke my heart even though we never even dated. Yet within a few hours I can feel like he never even had my heart for it to be his to break. I suddenly feel so level headed. So okay and seperate. It's as if as quickly as I feel broken I feel whole. I do know that I love him. NOT that I am in love. But I love him. I've loved many people. And the more I find that I am loved the more I tend to love people. Even the broken ones. I'm glad that there is one who understands my emotions. The silly yet wonderful thing that God has given us. And am reminded that I don't do well not being controlled by them. But I think being able to not be controlled by them is a sure sign of maturity. I have some maturing to do. | | |
| Yesterday I turned 27! Oh happy day. Jesus does not cease to surprise me with the way he prepares my heart for things. So often I am not taken back by conversations or things that happen because it's as if I knew they were going to happen. Ate at Jack Stack for the first time for my birthday dinner with my roomies. Good food. Paige mentioned to me on the ride that it's a Psalm 27 year. And I was struck by the fact that without even relating the number that's what I have been meditating on in the PR that day and the day before. Then I wen to see Bucket List but confused the time's and the next show was 27 dresses so I watched it realizing after getting the ticket once again the 27. I am Thankful! | | |
