Oh, Regina Spektor. I'm sitting in my incredibly clean room and relaxing after a long day of work. And I'm listening to some Regina along with some other good songs.
The last couple of weeks I have felt like life has made sense. I like the feeling of having it mostly together. I think that always comes with a clean room and some time in the word. Also a good conversation with Him. It's easy to still get caught up in the business of life, even here in China. I think sometimes I want so badly to escape the crazy, business of life and yet that never seems to happen. If it did happen I think I would be neglecting all of my responsibilities. I wonder if there is a place in life that you find yourself in a calm, slow pace sort of life. I hope one day I get there. Until then, the evenings will do.
Well it's a little less than 8 weeks before I am again on American soil. I am pretty excited about that, and of course a bit scared. My latest concern in life is what to do next. I'm thinking about where I need to be next year and what it is I should be doing. I would appreciate if you would be lifting that up for me. Thanks.
China is always exciting. There are a lot of things that contribute to the excitement. Things from taxi rides, to walks about the city, things happening in the classroom, random things breaking in the apartment, etc. Within maybe 3 weeks of each other we had our microwave quit working, our t.v. blow up (not literally, but it quit working), and the pipe under our sink start leaking hard core. So basically no leftovers and movies are now watched on the computer.
I'm sure maybe you are wondering what I do for fun in China. Well, that's a good question. I mostly watch movies and hang out with other teachers from the school. You can find me bustin' a move now and then, but only in the privacy of someone's home. Although it has crossed my mind to go out on the town some night :). Massages are incredibly cheap here, about $4.00 for an hour. I know, crazy! So I do that from time to time, and I do a lot of planning. I've recently started helping with middle school youth group. It's been fun. I was coaching the middle school girls volleyball team, but now the season is over. I liked that.
Well, I just felt like updating. I miss talking to people, so this is my way of sending my random thoughts and updates. I hope you all are well. I'm sure I'm not going to be traveling too much over Christmas, but if you are in central Ohio let me know :). Love.

I can just imagine you sitting in your clean room being so amazed at the feeling it gives you. You're so cute. Can't wait to see you.
celtics believed in what they called "thin" places...these places were so sacred/set apart/special to them that they felt as if it was difficult (or thin) to see where heaven stopped and earth started...its fun to think of your clean apart as you blog and trying to figure out where heaven stops and earths starts...im glad you have that place...im excited to hear from you...i will catch you up later on things since our phone call...
