oklahoma friends

so i have been listening to a mixture of jazz and big band music. something about it
soothes
my
soul.

i finally decorated my room today, and assortment of red, green, brown, yellow (gotta have yellow), blue, and a hint of orange. its sorta a retro floral print. i want to make this feel like my home.

you see, once upon a time there was another place i called 'home away from home' and that place was not here, but i would like it to become 'here'. but just the other day i was there and i realized how comfortable my heart feels there, it does little flips when i enter that town, it has so much to offer. but then i had to leave there to come back here, and i want to feel the way i do there when i'm here. god's working on my heart.

........

i got a message from a friend who moved to oklahoma today, life sounds rough for her. it made me cry, to know that there wasn't any tangible way i could reassure her with a hug (cause hugs can do lots for the soul). so i called and left her a voicemail, cause voicemails=the best. god works in crazy ways cause the teaching i heard on sunday with my best friend was one of how god promises us things, but he will also test us in those things to find where our heart is. so i just told my oklahoma friend all about what i learned in hopes that it may inspire her in some way.

muncie is so cool, well my friends house in muncie is actually. i went there this weekend, cause sometimes i just need to be in her presence. god does a lot of speaking through her to me....and so i need to make more of an effort to allow that more often. oh life!

deep breaths

Life is Looking Up

i would have to be brutally honest and say that never in my life did
i think i would ever have a blog.
but what say you my friends, it tis not be all bad.
my best friend has a blog, i think it was her that unknowingly
convinced me of this new trend in my life.
i like her a lot. she bakes, which is super cool.
......

i feel like God has something big planned and its
right
around
the
corner!
i am so excited to see what this year brings.
alreday there are new environments, people, places, situations.

life is fresh, like walking through a flower garden and breathing in the
intoxicating smell of the blossoms like each breath will be the last of this pleasure.
just don't hyperventilate.
