Bride's maid...

My friend Stacy is getting married in October, she has asked me to be a bridesmaid. Im exited about that, seeing her, and getting to be a part of her wedding.

here is a pic from the dress trying on session over spring break. The color of the dress for the wedding is called Watermelon, its a bright pink, i got to try it on in a nice green. My face says how frustrating it is to try on dresses. I had to get one two sizes to big to fit, and i will have to have certain parts take in. boo!

Maybe the day of the wedding i will look more put together and happy. Like the model in the picture from the David's Bridal website. maybe.

Love!

Community VS Communal living

we dont claim to have it all figured out...

Hard time getting to work.

Rain rain go away,,, come back another day!

Its been raining all week. This is our Spring Break week, and there has been nothing "springy" about it. Its rained the last three days.

I was on my way to work today, i was late (dont tell my boss) because i had to take to detours because the streets were flooded because its been raining so much.

The whole street covered.

Jesus: speaking thru parables

Talking through stories
telling us hard truth about who you are
simplifying your love so we could understand

love was the catalyst
love that lead you from storyteller to Saviour
love that was expressed in a unique flavor, rhythm, sent, shape and size

a love that was expressed from generation to generation
through stories of seeds and sheep, children and coins

a love disguised so that we wouldn't run from its intensity
holiness that was told through stories so as not to overwhelm us
with light like the face of Moses in the most holy place

giving a treasure so valuable that direct directions would endanger the seeker
so a map was given; with many secrets, to protect the one who carries it

a love so obsessive like that of a hidden crush
a crush that crashes into the shore, slamming water on to the thousands of pieces of sand
and then gently laying it down again
every grain placed where it belongs for that short moment before its moved by the next rolling wave

peace that enters the soul as understanding comes to the heart of the sinner
and they are no longer on the outside asking the person next to them about neighbors fields and what happened to the other son.
A passion to be passed on to those who still haven't understood that they are that coin that has been searched for
that they are the sheep for whom the shepherd risks his life to find
that they are the son; who is welcomed back with a celebration that says "I LOVE YOU"
and i have forgotten what is in the past
its today that matters
its today that counts.

over, under and whelmed.

this pretty much describes the lives of us living at the big house at God's Resort.
