What is it about sitting in a coffee shop that inspires me to blog?
It does help that this woman who works here keeps bringing me drinks to try.
I literally have four cups sitting by my laptop, at this moment.
I think she feels sorry for me because I'm spending my Friday night alone in a coffee shop.
I would tell her that I'm actually in introvert heaven right now,
but then the drinks might stop coming....
So, I've been pretty awful at blogging lately, huh?
I've sat down and tried to blog so many times,
but I just haven't been able to put my thoughts and experiences into words.
I can say this:
My life is changing, and it's changing quickly and daily.
The things I'm learning, the things I'm seeing with my own eyes...
they are far too deep and surreal for me to express in a blog.
But that's not to say that I don't want to share what I'm learning.
I'm actually overflowing with things to share with anyone who will listen.
It just might have to happen the old fashioned way.
Some days I can see myself living in Redding for the next several years,
and some days I spend hours on my laptop
with flights open in one tab, and my bank account open on another,
trying to figure out a way to get home.
More than ever, my heart is completely unsure of what it wants.
And for the very first time in my life,
I have no idea where I'll be sitting this time, next year.
I do know this, though....
This girl got a job this week at
OLD NAVY!!!!!
I have never been so excited about having a job,
and I've definitely never looked forward to going to work like I do, now.
It is seriously the best work environment I have ever been in.
Honestly, who doesn't love working in a place surrounded by adorable clothes?
And those baby clothes...mmmm. Warms my little heart right up.
I guess this may be worth noting, too:
I'll be going on a trip with students from BSSM to Israel in March!
When I found out I got accepted for this trip, I just cried like a baby.
If only I could express to you how honored I feel to get to bring Love to God's chosen people.
Maybe I need almost $4000 to be able to go,
and maybe I have no idea how I'm going to get that much money,
but I do know that I've been called and chosen.
So, I'm going.
You know that awkward feeling of being the only person in a coffee shop on a Friday night?
The place has cleared out while I've been writing this.
I guess it's a good thing the woman working here feels sorry for me...
xoxo
