The last couple of weeks have been trying ones, but it's hard to complain when there's so much good in my life. I came down with a pretty bad head cold, which I didn't even know could happen it July, then had some mysterious health problems which no doctor could really figure out, and got stung by a bee, which turns out I'm pretty allergic to, which means I've been laid up in bed all day today with an icepack on my foot watching "Boy Meets World" reruns. Then there's been my being out of work all summer, which has had it's perks, but I would definitely rather have a job. On top of it all, there's the fact that my lease it up in two weeks, and, I decided to apply to USC's Master of Teaching/Credential program for the Fall, and any one who's applied to college's know, it's a job in itself. Of course, being a lover of structure, none of this has appealed to my personality, which has been a challenge. Honestly -- I'm exhausted.

But as I first mentioned, there's so much good. I have had time this summer to decide what it is I really want to do, time to think and relax, and all this mayhem in my life has taught me patience. I have good people in my life, good opportunities, and I can feel God working now, more than I had in past months. With all that said, I really hope a little more structure is near, and that my patience can calmly wait out where I need to be.

So, if you want to know what I'm going to be up to ... we'll see! (but on a side note: your prayers would be good too!)
