i've neglected xanga for too long.  so i repent.  enough said.

my life has been soooo crazy the past few months!! anything and everything has happened.  enough said.

i love when God connects you with new people.  you know me, always like to meet someone new, my philosophy is, i have thousands of friends all over the world, i just haven't met them all yet.  wow, i could say more.

but i REALLY love when God gives you a really close friend, a kindred spirit, a sister.  that is the best!  truly one of the best things to come out of the past two months (besides all the incredible stuff God is doing in me, my friends, my church......the Spirit is breathing new life, blowing off the dust, shaking up the dry bones)........and how cool that we get to do a bunch of it together jess???  love ya girl!  i could say 50 pages' worth about the things God is doing in the Spirit and it still wouldn't be enough.

well, i am tired. it's 12:25 a.m. and i am babysitting an 18 month old in the morning. enough said.

been slow at work, had a few visitors but nothing big yet.  i hope they start coming soon!!

have a 15 page paper to write on "the kingdom of God."  great topic, but so much info i can hardly wade thru it all!!

off to alex's wedding.  i'm excited but nervous about what i'm wearing, because i'm reading a poem, the first thing after everyone is seated.  yikes!

not much to say today, other than it's TUESDAY!! woohoo! 

tuesday never gets any recognition; monday is......well, monday; wed is "hump day" so you know you're half over, thursday is almost friday then friday is PARTY!!!!  so where does that leave poor tuesday??

suffering from sinuses........oh the joy!!  i don't take medicine because it makes me feel groggy and listless, the same way i feel without the medicine. so why spend $6 on non-working, liver-destroying pills??  oh the pragmatist i am sometimes...... :))

on to better topics.  i am learning spanish. for real!  this is not the best time, seeing as i'm still trying to finish up the final requirements of the bible Mast-os.  but i have plans, i have vision, i have need to learn the language spoken by millions around the world.  i will have my own personal tutor, a lovely new friend from Puerto Rico whom i met at church.  now, she's 4 months pregnant with an 18-month old, so i'll prolly learn lots of baby-related words for now :))  but i am grateful for whatever help i can get!!!

Ciao! (or is that italian.......oh well, i know i spelled it right!!)

my first published poem :)))
