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!
