Put a jacket on

So last night my roomate wasn't here in town, I just went and watched a movie by myself. There was this cheesy country band last night downtown, I stopped to listen to them but basically I didn't know what to do with myself. I'm so used to having someone around constantly, it feels like I don't have purpose when there's no one around. I think it goes to show that we are made as people who depend on each other. When we realize we need each other, life is better.

It's been weird this week, it started to get cold. I walked out the door one morning and it felt like I had never been cold before and experiencing it for the first time. I drive early in the morning when the road is empty. The blur of street lights and headlights guide me while I'm half awake. Where I get out and make people hot drinks so they can have a good day. Life is new each day, every single day a whole new set of choices come up. Will I get up today? Is the first one that comes to mind.

I sent in my application for an internship at this church called Mosaic (the lead pastor is Erwin McManus, author of The Barbarian Way) , in Los Angeles this last week. To be honest i don't even know what I would be getting myself into. If I got accepted I know that I would be getting experience in ministry and life. And I need both of those. When I think of Los Angeles I think of cars getting broken into, that's honestly all I know about LA. Maybe going there will be experiencing something new, like cold weather.

Well each day has different weather as well as new choices. As my grandma always says "Put a jacket on so you don't get cold." (If this whole post makes no sense, then you don't have to like it)

Much love,

Sweet home away from home again

Well home-away-from-home sweet home-away-from-home again. I'm through running from the man....until next time I guess. I'm back at the apartment that I started at in Gainesville.

I drive back and forth all the time to the coffee making palace of love. I come home and the smell of the best part of waking up apparently is not only while you wake up but can follow you home until you go to sleep that night. It's funny how places like this train customers to be picky about their coffee. "Can I get a 1/2 decaf, 2 pump vanilla, nonfat, with whipped cream, mocha?" I always have the urge to tell them "no". And just stand there until they start crying because they can't have their coffee the way they want it. No i would never do that actually, but in my mind I laugh and laugh.

Well the sun hasn't had the chance to shine on my face today so I'm going to outside, read a book, smell things, listen to music, drink some (how ironic) coffee, because i'm off today and I'm going to do whatever the heck i want to do.
