March

I can hardly believe it is MARCH!

Shall we discuss what has been happening in my neck of the woods?

1. Tech week/Performance: I was wrecked. Last night, I got home from our matinée performance and photo call, started laundry, took a purple pill, and fell asleep by 9 o’clock. I feel as if my brain has been missing for the past month and a half while I’ve been in rehearsal for Picnic. What a process it has been. I will need a little time for retrospect, but I can honestly tell you all that I have been given SO much because of this show.  

Check out the Green Room Blog for info concerning my whereabouts: http://ltvabeach.wordpress.com/

2. The BAM: wouldn’t you like to know.

3. 10 Miles. I broke 10 miles last Sunday in the rain. In preparation for a half marathon, I have learned a lot about my abilities, faith, and presence. I am really excited to participate in the Shamrock Half this Sunday, and I intend to eat a MOO MOO Mister Cow and all my chips shamelessly afterwards. That is my reward. Moes….and maybe skinny dip…and I am taking Monday off because I’ll go directly from the half to my matinée, awesome. Woo!

4. Jason’s Deli: If you’ve never met one of these establishments, I suggest you google map one, and plan a visit. Immediately. Oh, it is so good.

5. Pretty girl: Growing up, I was always a little chunky, a little odd, a little nerdy. I wet my pants in the third grade and never quite overcame. I didn’t win the 5th grade secretary election. I was a drama nerd, and I had frizzy hair. I never felt very pretty, never felt very girl like, never felt confident. Somehow, my confidence found a source in Christ of the past few months. Having established myself in Him, I feel as if I have evolved into a new creation, His. I am excited about the identification that creates, and the exploration of the fullness associated with it. What a blessing to not feel out-of-place or odd or wrong any longer. A liberation. A life. A gift.

6. Green Run: I still love it, and I cry when I think about leaving.

7. Leaving: for Graduate School. I will start a Master of Arts in School Counseling this Fall at Regent University. To be equipped to help students in practical and effective ways gets me extremely excited. I really am excited, but I am so thankful to have a few more months here.

8. 161: I weighed in last week and jumped around with my trainer for a second. I am so excited to be feeling a little more light and thankful to see progress. Progress. Life. Good.

9. Canada: I get to visit in 1 month! HERE I COME!!!!!!!!!!!

9.5: Harry Potter: I’m reading them finally. I am not sure what the hubub has been about, but I am about to begin book three, which I hear is the best.

10. Friends: I continue to be so thankful and so humbled by the provision of good friends who have clearly been ushered into my life by God. 

So, life is happening, and I am just trying to acknowledge God in all of it.

I can’t wait for the summer. Summer clothes, air, sandals, heat, sun, life, bikes, pancakes, sand, jobs, trips, vacation, friends, but I am looking at life right now. Marveling. Here. Thankful.

What are you looking forward to and what are you looking at right now?
