What's Up?
Let me tell you what is up:
My parents are coming in 5 days! Yay. I miss miss miss them. However, I am working each day they will be here. Boo.
My inlaws (a lot of them) are coming in a week and 3 days. Yay. I like them. However, I will be with my family for my sister's graduation.
My sister is graduating from grad school in a week and 5 days. Yay! She's worked so hard and has really earned all the honor we can give her.
My sis-in-law is also graduating from college in a week and 5 days. Yay! She's worked hard too. However, I will be in Atlanta celebrating my own sister's graduation.
(All these celebrations hit at one time. When it rains it pours, I guess.)

In addition, we met with our session* yesterday. Vague language abounds on the public forum that is the Internet, but rest assured we are doing fine and just craved more guidance and help and prayer in a family situation. If you want to, we'd love your prayers. We are looking for reconciliation and truth--and freedom from half-truths and the lies that trap us all so effectively.
In relation to this vague personal note, read this blog post from a friend. Then come back here. Did you read it? Good. Did you notice all the talk about personal and spiritual growth being more important than reports about concrete, tactile changes? That's where I've been, too, these last few months. The growth and change is still going on...which is hard, like the last few laps of a track race...but it's a blessing to see progress in the anti-sin war I contend. Praise God.

I'm still dissatisfied with retail. Praying about another job. Join me. The active job-hunt won't start till after the flurry of visits ends.

I'm also (finally!) eBay-ing all the stuff the previous tenant left behind. Yes, the previous tenant left all her stuff but clothes in this house. At least we can make money off it, right? Yes. So there you go.
It's been an adventure.

*session: the leaders of a church body. The session is composed of the head preacher of a church, called the teaching elder, and any other elected elders, called ruling elders, who probably are not employed by the church body. Instead of being leaders like ship captains or army generals who bark out orders in haste and hurry, they are more like shepherds, applying the leadership and guidance that already exists in Scripture and apply to us, the church body, because they know our particular needs.
