I saw the original Star Wars (A New Hope - epsidoe 4) for the first time last night. finally. It's no wonder I didn't understand Episodes 1 or 2... and I think now I'm even more confused. Watching everything out of order probably isn't helping either. I also need to learn to watch movies sitting up and not lying down because I keep falling asleep, although I did wake up in time for the ending. I think I'm a disgrace to bob, who kept giving me his patented "look" when I kept asking questions. Seriously, he and andrew could probably mute the movie and quote the entire thing between the two of them. geeks.

yay! olivia and jean are coming back this week! Hmmm... not too sure if I should be excited about o coming back or if I should be fearing for my life. Regardless, as andrea calls her, my partner-in-crime is coming home! (yes, olivia + karen = mature) :)

It's been a hectic month and half for me (just ask alinna, she calls me her absentee roommate), and I still have a pretty full plate in front of me between work, weddings, and different ministries. It's hard to not just sit on my butt and complain about all the things I have to do, but at the same time, my time is limited right now, and I really need to intentionally find the time to rest, meditate and just listen to God.

"Why do you say, O Jacob, and complain, O Israel, "My way is hidden from the LORD; my cause is disregarded by my God"? Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." -Isaiah 40: 27-31
