A couple of thoughts:
I hope I get to sleep tonight. I've been fighting sickness for a couple of days and in my fight I think tonight is the worst I have felt yet. My throat is sore, stomach hurts, achy, the works. The funniest thing happens to me when i get a sore throat... Actually, it's just annoying - I burp a lot. I'm not sure I know anyone except my sister that this happens to, but it's true. Burping is the main thing I hate about getting a head cold. It keeps me up all night (more so than the actual cold) and makes my stomach hurt even worse.
So..we'll see what happens. My pillows are talking to me but I'm not looking forward to beginning a fitful night of sleep.
Lilly the puppy is watching the screen as I type. I think I may live with theee coolest dog ever. She's well behaved, has a funny personality -- and is beautiful. Quickly becoming my friend.
So far, living with my parents has been great. Of course, it takes some getting used to. You know, all those really great dinners every night, mom making my bed for me and turning on the lamp and space heater when she beats me home, not paying for rent, ultilities, food....
Okay so it's a pretty sweet deal, i'm not going to lie. I don't plan on staying here forever but I'm going to try my hardest to enjoy all those homecooked dinners while I've got them. (thanks mom and dad!)
Work is going better now that I'm finding my way into a pattern. I'm learning a lot - about shipping, about retail, about chocolate- to be sure. I really miss the prayer room but I love that the Lord lead me back here and am interested to see where it's all going. I'm finding myself concentrating on finding ways to pray in the midst of busyness. This has been a challenge in some ways but simply easy in others. The greatest thing I have noticed is a simple peace in my heart in the middle of transition. I have learned in the past that these sort of changing situations/environments bring quite a bit of emotional stress that easily makes me worried, cranky, emotional, etc -- but the kind of things that generally would get me down simply aren't. I believe it's the Lord giving me grace to walk out this season. And I not only appreciate it but want to really pay attention to it (His grace) -- you know?
Anyway - those are some raw thoughts for the night before I face my burpy night. I want to talk more about what God is doing in my heart but I must say now my pillows are yelling at me. Goodnight.
