Breathe in.
Breath out.
(The breathing exercise is more for my benefit than for yours!)
Life isn't always smooth sailing... and my life has had a few strong winds since I started graduate school a month ago. My loans were sent to the wrong school... I was dropped from the university... my roommate is moving out... I need a roommate in two days... a friend of mine treated me poorly... my job is scheduling me too many hours... transcript issues... etc. etc. etc. A friend of mine humorously labeled events such as these as "hiccups". And with life being as busy as mine is, I just don't have time to deal with these "hiccups".
However, like in Psalm 23, God has given me some tufts of green pastures to get through each day. I have discovered an amazing church filled with people who wholeheartedly strive to be disciples of Jesus and who pray for me daily. Two old men (retired dance instructors) have been teaching me so many new dance moves- they said that I am such a "great prospect" and have so much "potential"! A grandfather of one of my clients observed my therapy session and was very complimentary! My brother came to visit me and take me to a couple of great museums in Dallas! A very dear friend of mine has honored me to be her maid of honor. These things just make me smile and make my heart happy. They make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside amidst the cold, harsh wind.
I am currently accepting any roommate suggestions/living options and any prayers you'd like to throw my way!

Enjoy those cool, green grasses, Caryn, and hold your breath to get rid of the hiccups. What makes you so special is that in the midst of so many trials, you're still focused on the Shepherd who leads you to the good pastures. You need some STILL water. Love ya much. You are inspiring.
I sure hope the hiccups are gone by now...how are you?
