• odds and ends

  i've moved out of my parent's house into a duplex off Navarro.  [insert cliche Christian proclamation here]!  i can breathe...  (filling my lungs with air as we speak).  it's amazing.  my roommates are pretty sweet.  there's Jackie from Houston.  she has a boyfriend named Gabe that i don't have to watch engage in engrossed PDA night after night.  thank God.  she's super chill and usually answers the phone with "Word..."  which automatically puts her in my cool book.  she likes to bake and is baking cookies as we speak... the extra food around the house could get me into trouble.  freshman 15 could turn into senior 20.  then there's Mariana from Peru.  she's an incredibly happy person that has a huge heart for people.  Jackie throws in the occassional cuss word, which quite frankly makes me feel a bit more at home.  and Mariana keeps me grounded in the Word.  my room is stellar (black and white with red accents).  we jammed out on the guitar tonight-- it felt good to play it again since my latest hiatus from music.  i forget how at peace i can feel when immersed in melodies and rhythm.  i'm so thankful for that gift from my Abba... for me, to hear notes dripping with His beauty displayed is to dwell in the house of the Lord for a moment's time.  i ache to match harmonies with the lines as they unwind. 

  anyhow... that was an unexpected tangent...  things are pretty good on this side of the world.  i'll have something more meaningful to say next time around.  i'm tired now, and it's time to watch Little Miss Sunshine... a freaking hilarious movie!  (seriously... hilarious).

  shalom.
