Life in Slow Motion

I think "Life in Slow Motion" is actually the name of a David Gray song. Haha. Apparently I compose things David Gray style even when I'm not musically talented! Anywho....

It has been quite week, friends. Last Sunday I contracted the plague. Well, some version of flu/cold/seasonal allergies really, but we all dubbed it the plague around here as it was myself a few others that had it. Terrible. Ran the gauntlet of ailments. "A sampler platter of illness" as one of my friends said. All that lingers now, fortunately, is a ear ache and a little congestion. I can handle that! Monday and Tuesday were horrible....

But I had a community that completely folded around me so I count myself incredibly blessed. I think the only reason I enjoy living alone so much is that I live alone... in the middle of a community. I have my own space... in the middle of a bunch of other people's spaces. It is superb.

Alas, I missed an entire week of classes. I did get to watch Glee, however... so all was not lost. But now I am peddling to catch up so I can go celebrate Thanksgiving with my dad's side of the family up in New York. I even get to see State Radio open for 311 with Sibling. Can't wait! But again, that's a week away. A LOT is due this week before next week arrives.

What else random can I share...

I preached at church this morning! It went pretty well. The first time I preached in a church. COMPLETELY affirming. I know it has been affirming to preach in my preaching class (in my preaching lab which is only 8 people thank you Jesus), but this was a whole new thing. Pastor introduced me which served to calm my nerves considerably. It felt like I was just a girl called to preach the Word. Just a sister in Christ sharing some good news. *Sigh* So life is pretty good.

Also, I'm seeing someone! (So life is great, really.) That's the other new development since I posted last. If you are around, you should meet him. If you aren't, you should... come visit me and then meet him. Haha. I'll not share massive details about him apart from saying that he is fabulous and makes me smile all the time. He also helped take care of me when I had the plague this week. What a guy...

I'll try to post a thoughtful entry later but this was simply to catch you up on my journey. Have a fabulous week blog world.
