Every night I trudge up the stairs
Alone.
I climb into bed--It's such a big bed--
Alone.
I stay awake long after I should
Scanning the facewebs for companionship.
I get to talk to some people some of the time
But most I'm afraid to ask.
They're too busy, right? They don't want to talk to me, right?And besides, I'm so lousy at texty-chat.
Oh sure, sometimes I have something to say,
But most of the time we just sit in awkward text-chat silence.
And I stay online longer than I should.
Fatigue overtakes my body.
I just want someone--
Anyone...
I'm so afraid.
It's more scary than the boogeyman,
More fearsome than the dark.

No matter; at least it was one of Your servants and not something that is truly despised in your sight, such as Your enemy, about which he hast studied to receive his name of doctor. He was quite impatient; usually an exceptional quality, except when directed at Your servant.

People. I find that you are more interesting than I am.
So much life has happened since the last time I put a journal on here. I did the yoga teacher training I mentioned last time. I moved back to Boston. I continued my yoga journey with more trainings. I started teaching yoga. I teach Sunday School and work as a children's minister. I continue my theological education and I hope to graduate with an S.T.M. this Spring. I'm interviewing for a chaplain residency this week. Life happened. And I didn't expect it. I think the one big thing I have learned recently is that life happens, and we don't always expect it to. My life these last few years has been following Jesus wherever he leads, and he continues to take me to places I didn't expect. He calls me to serve him by serving others. And that continues to be the best journey. I wouldn't take nothing for my journey now. If you've made it this far, I'd invite you to listen to this video. It's the story of my life, and you might enjoy it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS6w2DOc310
Whew.
This semester cleaned my clock. I'm still working on papers from it. I think I put too much of myself into my work at the coffee shop and didn't have enough left to put myself into my studies.
So I'm shifting things around this semester. I've already decreased the amount of time I'm working, and I'm figuring out what I'll do with school. One of my classes was canceled, so I'm replacing it. I'm trying to figure out whether I want to add one more class.
One exciting thing I'm looking to do this semester is a yoga teacher training. There's an awesome studio on the north side that teaches yoga for all kinds of bodies. I really want to le
Hey all, I wanted to post a quick update!
I moved to Chicago this summer and am working on my Master of Sacred Theology half time, studying theology and worship. I'm working full time and living at the Lutheran school, right across from the University of Chicago. Life has cleaned my clock this semester, and I'm struggling to keep up.
I've discovered a great opportunity I'll be applying for soon. It's a two-year residency at a church, and it seems like it would be a wonderful way to minister while finishing up ordination requirements. Stay tuned!
It's Christmas time and the tree is up here in Chicago. We've not had much snow, but there was
