Going steady

-
Yes, there's a boy in my life. His name is "life." This week I decided to ignore him for the most part and he didn't really like that. He kept telling me not to buy that candy because he knows what candy does to me, and he told me lovingly to pay attention to my reading, and he let me know that I can do it, but I ignored him. I bought that candy. I was lazy and hardly did my reading. I told myself over and over that I just needed a little break, so I watched a movie then didn't have any motivation to do homework after that.

We're kind of at odds right now because I was so unproductive this week. It makes him sad to see me wasting time and money, so after much deliberation, I decided next week I'd try to please him a little more. Hopefully we won't get into any huge fights over what my roommates are doing and my reactions, or how long I spend getting ready in the morning....hopefully.

He's really happy that I have a job that I have to be on time for and responsible for because it helps me have some stability and structure in my life. I'm grateful for it too. I'm having fun most of the time!

So, since he hasn't left me yet, I assume we're going steady, trying to figure out the best way to coordinate. Life and I are good friends and I'd never want him to go away for real, but sometimes I just need a break from him. More often than not...which isn't good. Some relationships need to be endured before they get better, si? SI!

    I enjoy that the Flirt Break post was immediately followed by the Going Steady post. So much for a break... ; )

Mercy, Justice, and Unmerited Grace

Last night some of my family members and I sat down to watch the movie, "Just Mercy."  It follows the story of a young lawyer, newly graduated from Harvard.  As an African American raised in the north, he goes to the south and meets a new kind of opposition to his work of representing prisoners on death row.  This young lawyer takes on an African American client accused of murdering a 19 year old white girl some years earlier.  Throughout his investigation he find unmistakable evidence of his client's innocence and uses the justice system as it was created to give the accused man a fair trial.  Yet, he is faced with overwhelming opposition from the white community -- police, judges, and residents alike. Despite that, this young lawyer fights the fear and racism he and his client and the African American community face.  To this day he and his team have saved over 140 people from death row. This powerful film brought tears to my eyes throughout multiple scen...

A remedy for being tossed among the billows of life

Today!  Ah ha! My car : I should take care of it, right?  And since I'm handing it off to Lydia soon it should probably be in tip top shape when she gets it.  I took it to the auto shop today just to have them check it out and see if there was anything they needed to fix.  Initially the mechanic said a diagnostic test would be $20, and then anything they find will be added to that, but they'd let me know before they did anything. "Okay! Sounds good!" and I left my baby with them. Then they call me back a bit later and tell me my clutch is having issues, but it's still drivable.  Replacing it would cost about $600.  I already knew that though, so I just said not to do anything with that.  And then they mentioned something else, but the mechanic said, "If I were you, I'd just drive the heck out of it until it breaks and then replace the broken parts or get a new car." Well, thanks for your honesty Mr. Mechanic.  How much will the services yo...

New growth

  These plants, gifts from people dear to my heart, have witnessed everything that has happened in my apartment over the last five months.   You can see some of their leaves have turned yellow from inconsistent watering habits on my part.   About a month ago I started watering them consistently again and you can see some new, beautiful green growth because of that. Today as I stood in my kitchen with so many thoughts running running running through me I felt them encourage me a little bit as they shared some wisdom with me: Our yellow leaves are from a lack of water, yes, but you didn’t give up on us.   While we’re changed because of that period of drought, we are currently thriving and bringing forth beautiful new growth because you started watering us again.   That growth is slow and doesn’t come after a week or two of the change in watering, but it does come.   Giving us time is just as important as giving us water in those moments you feel it’s...
