who wants to be called the lazy kid???

so i'm having trouble distinguishing between laziness and trusting. i've been waiting anxiously by the phone for my number one job pick for over three weeks now. i've been strung along and dont know when to move on. i keep thinking that if i simply get a quick job, even waiting tables or something, will the Lord laugh that i think i'm in control of my situation. but at the same time, bills need to be paid. i'm sure as soon as i try to get another job this one will suddenly come through. but until then, do i soak up my days of nothing and pretend to be productive? its honestly hard to watch other people have things to do. todays big adventure was to take my jar of coins to the machine at brunos. i feel like i made sixteen bucks, but as jared reminds me, that money was already mine to begin with. man, it was nicer to feel like i had a little income for the day. and dont worry, we arent broke or anything. i just feel lazy. i am thoroughlyexcited about jared starting classes this week. now at least we arent both at home staring at each other all day. but we have discovered the dollar movie theatre. six great movies i havent seen are playing there. so it looks like i'll be enjoying matinees solo for the next week while he's in class...unless i get the long awaited call. here's to hoping.

and when you look at it like this its a great situation...i am so glad that i wasnt working last week and could pick up and go to ATL wih the girls. it would have stunk to be the one who couldnt get off work to hang out. eww...thank you Lord for your perfect timing of freedom. it was much needed.

girls, i'll be expecting lots of those hangout times in the coming months! and dont worry...i'll get some cool pics on here sooner or later...gotta find my cable to hook up the camera first. oops.

settling in

only a week or so in b'ham and we are feeling at home. we've cooked a few meals, had a few houseguests, and even watched some "west wing," so it's officially home. still no regular schedule, but it's always fun to have the freedom to be spontaneous. don't you agree? only a week left until jared gets a real schedule...here's to hoping i find something soon! who knows what that will look like. but it's always an adventure and Father has proven faithful consistently so who's to say He won't this time. i'm looking forward with anticipation to see His promises fulfilled.
