So this will be a post, only because it has been so long. I
suppose I got busy and distracted with the day to day life. I have missed
blogging, mainly because it was fun to post random stuff and have my three
friends who read my blog text me with responses. That I do really miss.
Something weird has happen to me this school year. I have found myself not
being so good with keeping in touch with people I love. I’m not really sure
how, why, or when it happened. It just seemed to happen. Even my own
grandmother I talk to less…. This summer was very stressful with taking so much
grad classes and the rush to finish and graduate by the end of this year. Yet,
I felt like I was a better friend then. So, who knows what it was.
This summer King and I drove to
Florida again. What can I say? I am a sucker for an almost free vacation. While
driving we listened to the new David Sedaris book, Let’s Talk about Diabetes
with Owls. Something he talked about has really haunted me since hearing it,
yes there is a connection. He said our lives all boil down to a four burner
stove top. One burner is for friends and family, one for our career, one for
our health, and one for love… He said (much more elegantly than I) that often
while we are tending to what’s on one burner we neglect what’s cooking on the
others. Thus inferring that while one part of our life is tended to by us the
other suffers.
This seriously has haunted me for months and months. Every
choice I made I would secretly in my head analyze which burner would suffer for
that choice or that apathy. This weekend, as I was bed ridden with a cold and
the flu, I thought about all of my choices that have made my health burner go
cold. God gave me such peace in my cold
medicine stupor by telling me I was being dumb, ha. (Yes, God talks to me how I
talk to him). He just gave me such confidence that I don’t need to worry because
yes while maybe my focus is more on one burner he has his hands and eyes
watching the other three for me. (I know might picture God as a three armed,
three eyed person though :/).
On an unrelated note, this is one of the reasons I love
reading books by *gasp* non-Christians who *gasp* have totally different
worldviews than me. In the end God has a way of strengthening my faith through
them.
I have less than 20 days to finish my master’s thesis. It is
practically the size of a book. I have a lot more work to do. So, if you see me
walking around like a zombie or crying over a dog sleeping, you know now why.
Knowledge is power!
I have also very lately into my 27th year of life,
started a 27 things to do during my 27th year. I will share them
later and hopefully share my success. Some of them are scary (for me), so there
is a 62% chance I will chicken out.
