i've been meaning to write in here more but haven't really gotten around to it. i'm trying not to spend much time on the computer which is easy to do when you're home most of the day and not working.
i took my dog daisy to get groomed today and she looks adorable. they cut her short and i love it. they did put a little bow in her hair but my little brother removed it as soon as he saw it. he hates those bows. i'm sure daisy hates them, too so i don't mind.
i'm almost done reading this book by shane claiborne called irresistable revolution and it is totally rocking my world. seriously i don't even know what to say because there are so many things i could say. ahhh! i love it when a book challenges everything you believe and makes you feel uncomfortable. as much as it sucks, it is so good to be reminded of that.
i also picked up this really awesome new fiction book called abomination. it's written by a christian author but it's about a serial killer and it is so intriguing. i'm having a hard time putting it down. speaking of which i'm going to go read now.
yay!

movie snob
i don't go to the movies very often... maybe once every couple of month. today however, i went to the movies twice and i saw the same movie. i'm such a dork, i know. so the movie is called 27 dresses and it's about this girl who is always a bridesmaid and she spends all of her free time helping everyone else have their magic moments and then she doesn't get her own. sounds a little familiar... haha... not exactly, but it was enough that i could really relate to the main character and that is probably why i enjoyed the movie so much.
i went this afternoon by myself which was a first for me. i don't think i've ever gone to the movies by myself and i'm not sure why. it's a lot of fun, especially when it is in the middle of the day. then my best friend lyryn calls me this afternoon and she wants to see the movie so we decided to do dinner and a movie. seeing as how the movie was one of the best romantic comedies i've seen in a long time i was game for seeing it again. it was fun watching it with lyryn the second time because she knows me and laughed at the similarities between me and the movie. such fun!
plus the movie kind of motivated me in a strange way. i feel a little liberated and i don't know why. haha! at least i don't feel depressed which is what can happen after sappy love movies.
now i'm spending some time on itunes discovering new good music... very exciting!

naps are a very good thing
today was a very full day yet i still managed to sneak in a hour and a half long nap. hooray for that!
it started off with church this morning where i had the awesome privilege of leading worship. in the beginning i got a little emotional and overwhelmed at the thought that God would use me to lead all these people into His presence. i recognized how special and totally humbling that was and it took me aback for a minute. i was so blown away to see the way the congregation responded and just got into it. it was so beautiful to watch and be a part of. i'm definitely glad i went through the school of worship with ywam because i felt much more equipped and prepared for what i was doing. i'm excited to continue growing in that area!
i also feel like God clearly spoke to me this morning about my next steps. i feel at peace about it and i'm excited to get started. i'm really starting to feel more like myself again which is really nice. i think i realized that i'm much more of an introvert than i used to think. as much as i like being around people, spending a lot of alone time this past month has been really good for me. i feel more "charged" if that makes sense.
anyways, after church myy whole family went out to lunch because it was my sister-in-law kesh's birthday! we went to on the border which is so yummy. it was fun and pretty low-key which is unusual for my family... haha... my niece kyra was as cute as ever. she is just too stinking cute sometimes. i love it!
i took a nice nap later in the afternoon while the boys watched football. i like taking naps around other people which is kind of funny. i think i feel peaceful knowing there's other people around. after my nap i went out to a diner with my sister and her hubby. later on we met up with my dad and brother and went bowling for a little while. my dad's a good bowler but he hasn't gone in a while so he was a little rusty. we had a good time, though. hopefully we can get him to come with us again.
i'm really excited about the new few months and what God's gonna do with me. i feel like i might finally be at a point in my life where i can laugh at the days to come (as proverbs 31 puts it). that's what i want... to look at the future not with anxiety, but excitement and joy!
