from russia with love, yah?
yeah abs...
"and so what we have learned applies to our lives today
and God has a lot to say in His book"
"you see we know that God's word is for everyone
and now that our song is done, we'll take a look"
and i would love to tell you that i looked up those lyrics on line, but that would be a lie. all out of the old noggin'.
ok list time:
Things I've learned
-how to drink water (i'm a bonifide camel....but not the cricket kind)
-i'm a hypocondriac when it comes to my health
-there are people in this world who will literally give you the shirt of their back; be one of those people
-some people need to be "mothered" some days
-some times you get the clean laundry mat, some times you don't. some times people will be smoking, some times they won't. some times it won't have AC, some times it will. some times you can't even find the peckin' laundy mat. that's the adventure.
-always ride the rollercoaster, you will never be sorry, but you will regret it if you don't.
-there are people in this life who will prey on the innocent, the less bold, and the easy targets. don't be one of them. stick up for those they pick on.
-always jump at the offer of fruit
-sleeping with jenn = not sleeping...but that's ok
-eating at 3 AM, not a good idea
-leggings will cover your bruises and are a good idea to prevent the pity stares and the calls to the police
-you have to stick together. these people in your life are the only people you have for the time given. take what you can from your experiences and move on.
-crying is not a crime and sometimes is the only thing you can do to keep from yelling.
-apologies are nice, but are empty when there is no action taken to right the wrong.
-mistakes happen. the best way to handle them are not to sit and talk about blame, but instead to act. and to deal.
-i love my family. i love family in general. i love everyone else's family. you all are wonderful.
-when in doubt, smile and look pretty.
-i have no logic; sudoku and i are NOT friends...but i will conquer them. i will learn... there can only be ONE highlander...
-money, money, money, must be funny. in a rich man's world...
-i do theatre because is makes me happy. simple and plain. i can get on stage with my mic and be in THE WORST mood ever. but after mic check, i'm the happiest girl. why? because i'm back on stage.
-i need to simplify my life. i have too much crap. i don't need it. i can survive on next to nothing. i think it's good that i realize this bc i'm taking a vow of poverty with my career choice. but i wouldn't have it any other way.
-being angry at some one takes too much energy.
-i love voicemails
-somethings i will never understand. ever. just add it to the list of things to ask God about.
-gold ballet flats go with EVERY THING.
-stage left plays the sax.
i remember a prayer my brother prayed in our sunday school class right before i left to come back for boot camp. he said " prepare the way for them as they prepare the way for you". this from my brother, the economics major who doesn't know the show at all. his choice of words were perfect, considering the first known song of the show. that's what He was doing all summer and that's what we were doing. i can't remember who posted this before me, but God's not done with this tour. He's still working in the hearts and communities of the places we have been. and in us.
despite frustrations, hurt feelings, lack of sleep, lack of food, lack of energy, lack of free time, lack of independance; you can chalk this one up to one of my favorite summers.
i'm sure there will be more later, but if there isn't, thanks for tuning in! lovelove.
