that’s half the battle, I think.

today’s-top-three:

1) hanging in there. my quiet times are saving my life right now— otherwise, I think I would just be a little ball of stress. in spite of my four upcoming mid-terms (saturday, monday, tuesday, wednesday. yuck.) and the 6-8 page paper due next wednesday, I’m totally at peace. that’s a BIG DEAL for me.

2) chai lattes. I may have given up on coffee and chocolate for lent, but chai lattes are still fair game, and they are yummy. also, poetry readings are just a great way to spend the afternoon. the fact that they are required for my poetry class is just an added bonus.

3) I just reallllly love my job. reallyreallyreally. and today’s poetry class was delightful, and tomorrow’s Friday, which means dinner with my girlfriends. happy camper right here.

“Going through the motions doesn’t please you, 
a flawless performance is nothing to you. 
I learned God-worship 
when my pride was shattered. 
Heart-shattered lives ready for love 
don’t for a moment escape God’s notice.” 

—Ps. 51:16-17
