oh hello. usually i am good at staying on top of this blog thing but lately my mind has been filled with so much i can't compell myself to write. so i will try today and it will probably end up being too long.
some things that have happened since last we spoke:
1. i turned 23 years old, my dad turned 46 five days before that...i think that is cool. yet his number sounds younger than mine, NOT FAIR. i got to be with my family on my birthday and i think that is probably the best gift i have had to date.
2. i went to spokane for a nice long weekend. it still seems so odd to me that the people i was a 'youngin' to and my friends of the grade i would have graduated in...don't live at whitworth any more. i am so happy for all they are doing but i truly truly miss them and am still trying to adapt to life without them steps away.
3. a girl went to heaven long before she should have. a darling girl i had the pleasure of knowing when i led youth group at shiloh hills fellowship. Robin was just 17 when she lost her battle with cancer, one she knew was coming but wouldn't let get in the way of her living each day to the fullest. i try to think of how this has made me feel, the people around me and those whom were closest to her but i haven't really come up with anything.
i don't pretend to know a lot or have all the answers but i do know God has given me a lot of wisdom for my age...but one thing i have not been able to grapple with is death. i feel like it always sets me back in my pursuit to find God in every day. that and divorce. i already have a blog post about my hatred of divorce so i wont elaborate.
but anyways. my life is still moving in a positive direction, even if that is slower than i like. life isn't about what is coming, what has come or what you will eventually accomplish. life is about recognizing each day as a gift and never giving up. if you have a pulse you have a purpose. never forget that.
PS long distance sucks but i get to see devin tonight and even though work is annoyingly stressful right now...i am simply giddy.
