I'm not a big Elizabeth Elliott fan!!
I'm a big Nancy Groom fan! =) Nancy Groom wrote a fantastic book similar to Sacred Romance. It's called Heart to Heart about Men. I truly believe that the title is a misnomer (i don't know if i'm using that word correctly. Oh well.)
It's not so much about about men. It is a little bit. But, it really gets to the root of a woman's heart as she tries to relate to God. And it's very interesting to see the connections that can be made about how we view men in our lives (friends, father, authority figures) and what that truly shows about our hearts toward God.
You can borrow if you'd like (after you read sacred romance). You should borrow it in fact!

**warning Dawson's Creek series finale spoilers***
"The simple act of me loving you is enough for me. so you're off the hook" - Pacey Witter
Pacey's the man. I'm glad that Joey ended up with Pacey. In the end, Pacey was a bigger man than Dawson.
Did anyone tape the finale? I didn't. I want to watch it again.
I have to give the writers and all credit. It was a good finale. I love how they even made fun of themselves and their viewership at the beginning. "Joey why are you watching that? I can't believe every Wednesday at 8pm you sit down to watch 'The Creek.' It's a weekly portal into the world of teen angst. And you've developed a personal attachment to them all."
Oh, of course, they spouted all their profound life statements in classic Dawson's Creek fashion. "Dreams come true, Dawson, not free."
I'm glad they chose to make a point at the end about the difference between reality and television. So, for those of you that don't know, in the series finale, Dawson (5 years in the future) is the executive producer of "The Creek," a weekly teen soap opera that basically recounts Dawson's life (especially the Joey-Pacey Joey-Dawson Dawson-Pacey headache). But, alas, when the show finally comes to a close, Dawson struggles with understanding reality versus the fiction he writes. Finally,Dawson writes in "The Creek" that the "Joey" character ends up with the "Dawson" character (although Joey chooses Pacey in the end). Granted, what is considered reality on the show is still fiction to the viewer. But, it's just a good reminder to the viewership that Dawson's Creek is NOT reality. (well, duh...but I get sucked in sometimes!)
So, after 1 last hoorah, another show from my high school/college years has come to an end.
Yay! the Practice is on for another season.
Ok, that was a silly TV post. I'm done now.

To everyone that has left me a voicemail in the past few weeks that I never returned....
Sorry!!!
My little message icon stopped coming on! Stupid Verizon. I called them and told them that I wasn't getting alerted about my voicemails. I checked my voicemails, and i had 10 messages! Verizon says that I need to go into the voice mail system and switch my Message Waiting Indicator back to on. WHEN DID I SWITCH IT OFF!?
So, sorry! =)
busy, busy, busy week....

It's a bad sign when Alinna blogs more than I do! =)
Ok, O, I'll try to be better about it. Sometimes, i feel that blogging is just an outlet for me, but then I realize this is the only way that O has any idea what is going on in my life...anyhow..I'm babbling.
It's a really lonely day today. None of my close coworkers are here. It's just me all by my lonesome. It's very quiet which is nice.
So..work has been...interesting. I've been here for going on 2 years now. We moved offices last week. Everyone was hoping that it was going to be a welcome change. But alas, we moved into an identical building that runs parallel to the old building. My cubicle is in the same relative spot. So, in the end, I often forget that we've moved.
Again, digressing, having a hard time focusing today.
So, I've really started to forge friendships here at work. A bunch of us are starting to go out to lunch or drinks after work with relative frequency. It's weird, I spend the majority of my day with my coworker S. We have adjacent cubes (that don't have walls on one side) that open into one another. So, we have very little privacy. We have had some pretty severe personality clashes, but I've started to really see how God has been molding our frienship. She's not much older than I am, so that has allowed for a lot of chatting and hanging out. We've started to talk more about politics and religion. I think we've even come to look forward to talking to each other about personal stuff.
I've been really challenged by Alinna to really love S. just in the way Al is so intentional about loving those in her life that a difficult to love. I've been really encouraged to pray more for my coworkers, especially as I start to hang out with them more.
I walked away to go get some water, now I've lost my train of thought.
I'm just going through one of those "ugh, I don't like being a young adult" phases. It's okay. I will not wallow.
blah blah blah...who wants to listen to me blab anyways.
Hmm..so how do you find vision/purpose when you feel a bit directionless? You pray. But what do you do in the meantime? (not career-wise, but just passion-wise, ministry, etc.)
