Late breaking news…

Recently, I wrote a what’s up with you email to a girlfriend I haven’t talked to much in 2 years.  I often hate what’s up with you conversations, because I  think not much has changed with me. I feel like my station in life has not changed much, so the updates aren’t huge. But sometimes its the subtle changes that are the big changes. Below is what I wrote to her- and I really felt like for once, I answered honestly, completely, and authentically. Read on …


As for what’s new with me? I would say the biggest difference is one you can’t really see. And that is that I have kind of gotten this sweet peace about where my life is. I know this place is not forever, but its right now, so I either choose to rejoice or lose the moment to complaining.

So I am enjoying:

renting a room out of my cousins’ house

living with a potty training 3 year old who has peed in my room more than once, but is the sweetest little boy around. We have a dog that looks like Scooby Doo, and my cousin, cousin in law, grandma and aunt are so cool to live with. Thank God, I was turning weird living by myself. And saving the money is pretty freakin stellar.

that for as long as they let me I have a great job

My responsibility is to show them God without a word, and I love that.

that ministry is not my life but I sure love doing it

I mean,  to pray for and disciple people- and see lives and families change- COME ON! That’s amazing

that someday my prince will come, but today is not that day

well as far as I can tell anyway, I mean, its already 3:26PM, so today may be out of the question. But I am sure of many things, and one of them is, someday, not far from now, I will meet my amazing ribcage and get to touch his face. Until then, life is about me, and that’s okay. As soon as marriage and babies happen, there will be a lot of me time I won’t get.

xoxo,
