:: The great lack ::
Well, it's been a while, primarily because I was first living back in Chelsea, then in Grand Rapids, then without a computer (I currently am still without a computer but I have some time to kill before tonight's prayer meeting, so the church is providing what my house cannot), and then without a desire to update. But, now is the time, this it the place, and here's what's what.
I'm living in Grand Rapids now, with three other women, Kaleigh, Ashley, and Meghan. Kaleigh and I have loads of fun together and I probably see the most of her. Part of the reason is that she's dating my boyfriend's roommate. haha! Oh roommates dating roommates...it's so classy.
I am currently looking for a job, preferably parttime at this point, in hopes that I can help support myself, and maybe purchase a new computer...to replace the one that has blown up in my new room.
Dan and I are still having lots and lots of fun together, and yes, he is officially my boyfriend. He makes me laugh, gives me butterflies, and blesses me through strengthening my relationship with the Lord, so it's pretty much everything I could ask for in a relationship. The thing that makes me think that this relationship is special is mostly the simple fact that neither of us were looking for one. I hadn't been praying for a relationship, I hadn't been seeking one, and well, neither had Dan. It just...worked. I met his mom a couple of weeks ago and she is so great. I had a lot of fun hanging out with her and Dan and she seemed to like me! She invited me up to Higgins Lake. Dan will meet my parents at some point.
I've been really blessed lately by some of the music I've been listening to...Emery, Mute Math, Falling Up...it's all been good. Mostly though, I've been blessed by what I'm reading in the Word...1Peter, 1John, Philemon...it's all been good. I love picking up the Bible and re-reading chapters only to take out something totally different from what I did before. It truly is a living Word.
I love that I lack right now. I lack sadness, fear, anger, insecurity. I lack a job. I lack...in every area except the ones that matter. It's this great lack that keeps me smiling every morning and residing in Your arms.
