it's 2008!

Hah, this is my college graduation year. Is it a bad thing that I find people asking me, "What's next after college?" to be a mean thing to say?

It's clear that God's given me a heart for kids, but I'm in a season of figuring out what He wants me to do with that.

I think I'll spend this year cultivating a greater passion for Him and greater compassion for His people. I know I was lacking that in '07.

Yet if you devote your heart to Him
and stretch out your hands to Him,
if you put away the sin that is in your hand
and allow no evil to dwell in your tent,
then you will lift up your face without shame;
you will stand firm and without fear.
You will surely forget your trouble,
recalling it only as waters gone by.
Life will be brighter than noonday,
and darkness will become like morning.
You will be secure, because there is hope;
you will look about you and take your rest in safety.
[Job 11:13-18]


Why did everyone get engaged/married in 2007? Does anyone else find the overabundance of weddings [planned or taken place] a little strange?

This semester I'm looking forward to taking only one 'real' class, to having time to spend building relationships with newer friends, to working in the maps department of the library, to expanding my culinary expertise, and to getting the crap out of Kutztown University.

Oh, and LOST comes back on once more... just to torture me...

"Kiss the crap outta that girl, Ted!!"
