people like me...

Blows my mind... I love the fact that I can listen to people talk about their interpersonal stuff, and recognise that they will be ok. After class had a huge conversation with both a teacher and a classmate. The classmate is a gem. She's just a little confused as to what she wants in life and where she is ultimatly going. She is 19, and in a place I remember all too well. In sted of rolling my eyes and wishing she would get it together, I listened, and was so encouraged.

meet for the roomate...

Also started the day out very well with a meeting for the roomie... It was so happy to see that I am not the only person caring for my roomie... Like there are other people in her everyday life that care to. Now I know I am not alone, and this takes off the uneeded pressure. HUGE!

Salt and Light...

Reading "the Message" Bible last night in the section in Matthew about the Beatitudes.. and salt and light. Man, if you have the new testiment message, read through it. It was reassuring for me, because sometimes i go on small jopurneys otherwise known as rabbit trails, and forget that I have given over contol. I always come back from distractions. Some are longer than others. Did not realize what that tired overwhelmed feeling was until I gave up once again last night. Had no sleep probs, and woke up refreshed. I know it is not always like this, but when you do what you are suppose to, and the positive outcomes are there, it is such a breath of crisp air.
