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,
dan
