Going Home

Went to my childhood church today. There's something about going back to the familiar. I always feel so at home there.... I had to catch myself because I got a little teary thinking about my grandparents. The message was definitely right one time---and for once, I could actually comprehend what the pastor was saying today. I definitely needed to hear it....

Proverbs 3 (5-6)

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths. . .

Considering the tumultuous week I've had... the message really resonated with me. I did not get an interview for a full time teaching position at my college. Initially I was upset, but now I'm learning to let God lead me where he wants me to go. I am not going to let it consume me.

On to brighter things. I met a very interesting person today. I haven't had that kind of conversation in a long time. Refreshing. That's the word. It was so refreshing to meet someone who can converse about a variety of subjects. Definitely a breath of fresh air....

Flaws and All. . .

I'll admit it. I'm a Beyonce fan.


I'm a train wreck in the morning
I'm a bitch in the afternoon
Every now and then without warning
I can be really mean towards you
I'm a puzzle yes indeed
Ever-complex in every waaay
And all the pieces aren't even in the box
And yet, you see the picture clear as day

I don't know why you love me
And that's why I love you
You catch me when I fall
Accept me flaws and all
And that's why I love you
And that's why I looove you
And that's why I looooooove (hmm)

I neglect you when I'm working
When I need a attention I tend to nag
I'm a host of imperfection
And you see past all that
I'm a peasant by some standards
But in your eyes I'm a queen

You see potential in all my flaws
And that's exactly what I need

If I Ruled the World. . .

Listening to Nas today. No idea why. Felt like some rap. . . and I used to play this song all the time. I miss Lauryn. May play the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill today. Seems like that kind of day. I dropped my cell phone in water so I am--again--officially cell-phone less. Geez, that's a record even for me. Two destroyed cell phones in less than a month. R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S!!!


Hmmm, If I Ruled the World. . . .

(Gonna have to get philosophical, and I am not in a philosophical mood today).
