i'm a girl. i know you're surprised. as if my love of pretty, shiny things didn't give it away.
as such, i'm sometimes on the emotional rollercoaster of hormones & sensitivity. i can be poetic one moment & fuming the next. i can be sappy one moment & energized the next. i am a gamut of emotions & an outward gauge for nothing more than my feelings.
but it occurs to me that i have been so involved in ther rollercoaster of life that i've lost some focus on my spiritual life. i borrowed TOO BUSY NOT TO PRAY by bill hybels from a friend, mostly because he told me it did make a difference in how he focused on his prayerlife.
now, i don't subscribe to the belief that joe blow or bill hybels or rick warren can tell me how to have a relationship with Jesus. i think they can give me pointers or make suggestions or present observations, but not show me in black & white on a page how to do that. so, i'm simply praying that God will show me. i do, however, think this book will be thought-provoking, whether i agree or disagree. & that's of importance to me as life is ever-changing.
speaking of change. life has settled down somewhat. i'm moved into my new place & 3/4 unpacked. the remainder waits for unpacking once the contractors are done with their various & asundry tasks around the house. & awaiting the move-in of my new roommate(s) at the end of june. the "(s)" was in refrence to chloe-the-wonderdogazelle" who will be my roommate of the fourlegged variety. she's spiffy.
eric arrives on wednesday & we have time planned together for a zoo trip & various visits around town to let him get acquainted with raleigh. not to mention us spending some much needed time togther. it has been almost three months since we looked across a table at one another & (more importantly) since i got a hug or three.
i imagine that life is about to get busier. this time i'd rather be buckled up for safety.
