Before I digress: I don’t actually know why I haven’t written in 7 months (exactly, to this date, since June 11, 2011, nothing had been posted on my dear blogarooni). I graduated college (!), got my nursing license (!!), and then I suppose I left the country, hopped around in South America, almost fell in love (but time ran out), just plain fell a couple of times then ended up in California. That’s my reasoning. I don’t expect you to understand.
Living easy.
What’s important is that I have a new skin. I don’t mean Botox, I just mean the skin of a 22-year old girl, I’m slowly easing into the delights of twenty-something-hood. I followed the peace in my spirit, I ran away to California (not so subtly), said – Amen Lord, I’m willing to let you work on me – and it’s been spiritual surgical bliss since then!
Ha.
I can’t and won’t say much about my 20 weeks of “Bible school” (I put quotes because it’s so, so so much moooore) so far because words couldn’t really wrap themselves around my heart. I can only say that there is more God in me, that sometimes I find that quite fascinating and other times I just want a skinny vanilla latte and a book to distract me.
I don’t typically read the Message version of the Bible, but recently I’ve been digging through Hebrews 12 and I read it in many different versions and the Message stuck out:
12:1-3 “…it means we’d better get on with it. Strip down, start running – and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we’re in. Study how he did it. Because He never lost sight of where He was headed – that exhilarating finish in and with God.”
And maybe it’s a little short (like me), but that’s how 7 months has been. Life is good God.
And since this post was borderline serious, I have to add a dash of silly. I’m not that different after all

“bible school” was only for 20 weeks? So you’re back in Texas?! And not just visiting for the holidays??
!!!
I wondered where you went!
