thelandbetween.

i cried bawled today in church.  what an amazing message of hope, peace, and perseverance.  God works in  the barren land.  if the israelites would have thought their situation was final after a few months, they would have died in the desert.  i was so encouraged and challenged to realize this is not final.  i am where i need to be and God is here with me.  every step.  every day.  in every way. 

after this morning's service we had a great conversation with some friends, came home and rearranged two of our rooms (and by that i mean we entirely swapped the furniture from one room to another).  i feel good about my productivity...i wrote a paper, voice-overed a powerpoint, finished indexing 250 books, moved/cleaned/trashed various parts of the house, and  bought a freaking sweet camera.  see below.

best buy had their annual heroes sale (which includes teachers) and i was finally able to convince bradley that i wanted...rather, needed this camera.
the unfortunate part: not in stock.  so now i wait anxiously for the 15th so i can learn to take incredible (at least more incredible than i currently can with my 5 yr old nikon) pictures.

moral of the both stories: i am learning that the waiting process is an important one and i will cherish every moment with purpose and hope.

now...must...fold...clothes.
