A bit mildly depressing to notice that my last entry here had me wake up at 4:30 in the morning…and that’s when I woke up this morning too! I don’t really MIND waking up that early – it just means I have to go to bed quite early! And no, I am not going to reveal my bedtime last night.
Anyway, just thought I’d write a short update(it will be short – I PROMISE!) and say how awesome my past few days have been!! I have to say, as different and crazy as Houston is, I’m starting to enjoy it here. Starting with last Friday, I had a sweet dinner party-thing at my place…my apartment finally got broken in! Had a few people from church(Clay, Engle, Adam and Marci) and Julie from UF! It was much times of awesomeness. I made pork chops(sorry you missed it, Galan!) and we played games and hung out and talked…such sweet times. I have to say that one of my favorite things was the fascination everyone had with my bookshelf! I quite like my books and it makes me oh-so-happy when others do too!! Anyways, that was a beautiful night, even though I was quite exhausted by the time everyone went home! The rest of the weekend was mega relaxing and involved more hanging out with people and enjoying the delightful rest of the LORD!
And then Monday night was another amazing night – me and Rob(from church, not RobG!) went to the house of another couple in our church. Their house was way out in the country(he’d built the whole thing from the foundation up!) and driving out in the country was such a refreshing experience…finally I got to see some real Texas! I must admit, I wouldn’t mind living in the country some day. Such beauty. I think sometimes we lose that…living in cities of concrete and steel may be efficient, but it sure isn’t as soothing as soaking in the untainted air and brighter sun of the country…alas, these caves of steel we’ve constructed for ourselves seem to have become an integral part of our society.
And however did I get so off topic? Well anyways, we went to their house and it was such a sweet night of fellowship! We had a delicious dinner, but better by far was our conversations…where it went from discussing our backgrounds to the mysteries of the Bible..indeed, I felt so blessed to be in their house and to be encouraged thus! And driving home and seeing bright pinpoints of stars in the clear night above…amazing.
And oh no. This entry has gotten long! Oops. Just know that I’ve had such an awesome last few days. Oh, and God is good. Actually, that’s always true! Well, it’s about time for me to make my dinner(chicken caesar salad, yeah!) so farewell! Time to dominate up the rest of the night!
