Quick Random Thoughts

• I can't quite seem to manage to spend concentrated time writing coherent blog posts. It may have something to do with how busy my life has been lately, or it may be that my computer is STILL not back in the privacy of my bedroom, or it may just be that my thoughts haven't been all that coherent lately, so how would I possibly write coherently?
• I'm writing this at school. I should be studying for my last midterm (for which I am completely unprepared) which begins in just over an hour. I'm not all that interested in devoting the next hour to studying developmental psychology.
• I've been blessed lately by posts on a variety of blogs that I read. (check out the links on the sidebar - those are the ones I read the most faithfully.) I've particularly enjoyed James', Renee's, Cathy's and a few others that I still need to link to.
• I still have no voice. In fact, it may even be worse than yesterday - I can barely even whisper today. It's a weird thing to not be able to communicate.
• When you sound as bad as I do, everyone feels sorry for you. This is fun - you get great sympathy offers. Especially since I only sound awful, I feel pretty normal. (Okay, it's a little hard to breathe, and my chest is a little tight, but as long as you don't ask me to run or something, I'm good.)
• I have a sense of growing hope right now. The last weeks (and months and years) of my life have been a little crazy, but I have such a sense of God's presence and hand. I feel a growing confidence that He is working and that I am emerging into a new place with Him.
• I'm feeling blessed by the friends in my life right now. I am learning so much from them. And they are keeping me sane which is always a bonus. It's nice to be in a place where you know that if you need something there is a friend you can call or email, and they'll try and come through. Especially in those moments when I need them to pray as I walk into various crises in friends lives.
• If I can find the time sometime today, I'm going to post a number of song lyrics that have been particularly meaningful lately - through the crazy journey of my last couple weeks, and I'm going to tell you why they've been important.
• Okay, I'm off to the bank machine. Then lunch. Then studying. Then the midterm, and 45 minutes on the bus to get home. When I get home, I may post again, or it may have to wait for tomorrow. House church is tonight. If you ride with me normally, and need a ride tonight just call and leave a message. You can't hear me on the phone - this no voice thing sucks that way. I'll pick you up at the usual time and place. But leave the message so I know who I'm waiting for!
