Lately I have had an abundance of emotion.  I am completely and utterly overwhelmed.  This is not where I saw myself after graduating, but in so many ways my life is far better than I could have ever anticipated.  True, it's exciting, but some aspects are not exciting.  I have to remember, amidst it all, God is faithful.

This past week has been a flood of job opportunities.  After three months of nothing more than part-time work, the gush of work has had a tumultuous effect.  I want to work -- really want to work -- but landing a job fresh out of college takes time; have I ever learned that.  I'm beginning to realize that even though you think you're done after college there are so many other big choices ahead.  With jobs come the potential of moving.  Moving is not half bad, especially when it's inevitable with a running-out lease, but leaving people is the worst.

I listen to "Moon River" a lot lately.  I don't know the exact story behind it, but I've heard people tell me a synopsis of what their google research has informed them it is.  But I block that out.  To me "Moon River" is written about two people looking for what's good and right in life -- what's good and right to them -- their dreams.  Hoping to sail the "Moon River" that dreams are caught on.  It's about two people -- huckleberry friends -- both of them drifters, wanting to go everywhere in hopes their adventures will bring them somewhere.  They want to see the world, to experience life, but maybe what they really want is that "rainbow's end."  Maybe what they really want is what we're all looking for: someone who can not just be our companion, but a true friend that can be a home.  Home being something you have to find yourself once you've grow up ...

There's something about this song that comforts me.  Sometimes, when listening to it, I feel very Audrey in the rain.
