home.

nothing beats home.

nothing beats walking out of schu's with a bag of food & finding a bench to sit on since all the swings are full.

and nothing beats walking out of kilwin's with a waffle cone & strolling along the sidewalk underneath an umbrella of trees on the bluff.

and nothing beats walking barefoot on the silver beach sand & climbing up onto the edge of the pier to walk toward the falling sun.

nothing...nothing beats home.

although my job search hasn't been going so well, mine & adam's church search has ended! last week, adam & i tried out a church i discovered online. i found two people that i had gone to school with there; so andrea, adam & i piled in the car last week for a bomb-diggity father's day message.

adam sent the pastor a message just introducing himself and what he was into (i.e. drumming and music ministry). pastor wanted to meet with him asap! i guess they have all been praying for the past few weeks that more members who were involved in music, specifically drumming, to join the church. and POP! here we were. we went today and were introduced to the music director and her husband. i'm very excited to see where all this leads; we're both very comfortable here and are interested in serving our community and God better.

its semi-depressing to not have a job yet. i've been out of school for 7 weeks now, i think. i prayed for one for over a month, and now i'm just upset about it. its like a half-hearted, "hey, God, can you send me a job?" sorta thing. He sent me a direction to a church...but i'm desperate for an income so i can stop feeling like i'm failing at this whole "adult" thing. maybe that's why He hasn't sent me a job yet...i'm supposed to fix how i'm feeling -- focus on how He made me -- and then the job will fall into place.

shin splints have taken over my legs. i ran hard for the past four days, and then after walking through sand and on hard concrete last night, i woke up very achy today. so i'm taking a break from running for a few days. today adam & i watched disney classics and cuddled with the princess kitty and tomorrow i need to buy new running shoes. did you know you're supposed to buy new shoes after walking/running 350-500 miles?

my laptop battery is almost dead.

and so is my body battery.

goodnight. :)
