sitting and waiting

I’m sitting the the family waiting room with Caroline and Julia waiting to become AUNTIE- my guess is I’ll be here for another hour before the little Landon girl enters the world- such exciting times!

Tahoe

Just got back from Staff Retreat at the ever so beautiful Lake Tahoe- it was a time that was good I wouldn’t say refreshing, but I would probably say connecting. A time to connect with other staff, meet wives and husbands of staff members and have some good thoughtful conversations with my roommate for the few days in the “prayer portal” that over looked the lake- this prayer portal was rather intriguing- it first reminded me of Narnia, but then I thought who would have named it a “prayer portal” sounds so unusual but, then again I’m reminded of the church in White Rock, BC : Peace Portal….I’m now at my parents house for my sisters Baby Shower, then I’m off to Northern- Northern CA to go white water rafting, I’m terrified were going on Level 5’s. Upon hearing I suddenly felt all the blood drain from my face, you see I’m not a thrill seeker- I wish I was at times. I’m the type that is in constant need to those crazy people to drag me along- to call me at 2am and tell me that yes it is actually time to go on an adventure and adventure has to happen now. So the next post from me I’ll either be a rafting convert, or I’ll never want to raft again….scenes from River Wild are playing in my head.

i want a wall like this

fres-yes

i’m sitting in the student center at fresno pacific university, my first interview in in about twenty mins , i’m looking forward to it, i’m trying to remember how much i really wanted my position at day camp when i interviewed with bob about five years ago. then i think five years ago! ahhh ok well it was really six gosh i’m feeling old- i pray that i will have the wisdom and discernment  as i meet and chat with those who are applying…my time has been good so far, a much needed break from the mount hermon, it’s funny that a place where people come to retreat i can at times be so happy to drive away from.

calling

I’ve been thinking a lot about calling and what it means to be called to a place. I’m lucky that I’ve heard so many stories of people being clearly called, and I often wonder what that calling means for me have I been called- how do I know that I’ve been called. You see, I don’t want to merely float from job to job, career and be in a state of wonder as to what I’m supposed to do-  Is this what life post college  consists of chasing the ideas of who you are or who you think you should be? When will I find that place that I rest assured that this is indeed where I am supposed to be…I hope it happens sooner than later.

i think

i think in another world i’d like to open a coffee shop that was not only aesthetically beautiful, but also  specialized in cupcakes, i’ve wanted even more to make cupcakes after finding this site

and seeing these pictures…..

scissors

who knew scissors could be so fun….link

i should make one of my own

to la and back

I’ve recently thought of so much to blog about- so many exciting websites and things to share, things that you all are probably way too cool for, or perhaps they are web sites that you’ve bookmarked ages ago and just now I’m discovering the wonderfulness- pish posh. Now you’ll wait for some wonderful links, when really i’m exhausted and have been to LA and back in under 36hours, sorry I didn’t call friends of the southern persuasion, i had no time.

oh- i’m dog sitting, i love it. it makes me feel what it’d be like if i had a pet, without the commitment or $$$ involved.
