Ramblings of a Wandering Luney

I really have started to post multiple times this week, just decided to delete it because either there was so much going on that I wanted to say and the post would wind up being a book, or because I decided that what I was going to say was best left unread by the ether.

Its going to be so hard leaving here; I feel so close to all these people! It feels like I've known some of them for years. I was watching Tara's screen saver today and a picture came up of us at a football game, and then of David holding Kitten. Was that really less than a year ago? Crazy. I am looking forward to seeing my family, seeing those of you who will be around, horseback riding, and I'm even looking forward to learning to cook more stuff and yard work. Crazy what ya miss.

I was playing the guitar today and it brought back so many memories: Iris, playing in the backs of trucks, playing on the streets downtown, Kelsey's voice... Remembering is bitter sweet.

So, I finished all my exams. Yay! They weren't too bad which is nice. I enjoy exam week because of all the spare time to play with baby birds, walk around down town, get ice cream/coffee/cookies, play soccer/tennis/run... speaking of running, Roy and I ran to Anderson County yesterday. I was proud of myself for being able to make it that far. Lately I've been running alone or with other girls, and I just don't push myeslf when I run alone and I don't even push myself as much wiht other girls. First, girls tend to not push so running is not usually hard. Second, there's something about doing anything against/with a guy that brings out my competative side. I just won't give up. Maybe it was growing up with people like Jesse, Jonathon, Danny and company....

Its been nice to have time to think lately. Discuss the rain (why the sound is relaxing and the sight depressing), language and worship in heaven, the basis of friendships/relationships, what is love and what makes it last, what makes art what it is, other cultures... I wish I could post on a bit of each, but that again would be a novel nor do I feel like typing that much so if you're really curious, ask me.

My sister is doing better, praise the Lord! She'll be home in two weeks. She was released from the hospital today. There will continue to be a threat of relapse and it still will be a struggle throughout the summer, but nothing like before. There won't be the threat of losing her. Thank you Lord for healing her and thank you for using this in the lives of my family and my life to change us and grow us.

I wrote a poem today, but stupid me I lost it. If I find it, maybe I'll post it. Or maybe I'll reread it and realize that I definitely didn't have enough sleep when I wrote it.

Good luck on exams! Have a wonderful week and enjoy every non-studying moment.
