ok - that last post about begging for what i want? yeah, i'm over it. at least for today. i want what He wants. cuz He's got a greater imagination & a bigger capacity for inducing giddy greatfullness then i ever have been capable of. i'm excited for:

the career he's preparing me for
the love he's preparing for me
the adventure he is laying footwork for
the babies that i will have the gift of nurturing
the souls he's planning for me to meet
the saved lives he's letting me be a part of
the daring things he's placing an excitement for in my heart
the childlike eyes he's giving me to see the world through
the blessings he's showering on me
the kindred spirits he's introducing me to

christmas was weird this year. had it on christmas eve & spent christmas day baking with my new kitchen aid mixer. i couldn't have asked for anything more wonderful. whipping and mixing to jamiroquai and st. germain. i want to host a cooking show where i make a dish (a dessert preferably), but also feature a new or fogotten classic album. blast it in the background. call it 'cooking class'. it would have been my favorite elective.

i enjoyed seeing my family this holiday season. i didn't have enough time to hang out with my cousin.

my sister was sick with & is recovering from strep throat. i am attempting to nurse her back to health with my homeopathic knowledge. it's limited, trust me. but i am an expert when it comes to strep. and sinus infection. my body used to go looking for the bacteria called 'strepducacis' (have no idea how to spell it & don't care) and when it found it rejoiced & swallowed it up. ick. ruined several christmas vacations. no more. garlic & glyconutrients. batta bing. and lots of water. and pressure-point lymph drainage. ok. i'll stop.

saw a good friend lastnight from colorado. well, he's from here, he lives in colorado. he's beggin that jesus reveal himself to him. he's been waiting patiently. i'm thrilled to know people like this. their hunger inspires me. his name is regan. would you ask for the Lord to reveal Himself to him? that he have eyes to see? i know he'd be more than thankful.

i start school in a couple weeks. again.

went four-wheeling lastnight & sat under the stars by a frozen creek. if it weren't for the cold butt i was starting to get, i would have slept out there.

the 'my morning jacket' album rocks my face off.
