I think the story of the Prodigal son is not about that son at all. I think it is all about the brother. I think I need to stop being envious of the "freedom" non-Christians seem to have and realize the amazing amount of riches I have in Jesus. Anything I need, He will provide.
I want to be content, I do, but I am not sure I know how. I am a natural achiever. I am ambitious, and I pursue success. I know what I want, and I go for it. I do not often fail. So it seems counterintuitive to just be content. It almost seems wrong. I am working on this, but it is hard, and I think I am floundering at times.

HOME:
Loving the breeze. Wishing it was cleaner. Frustrated that my bedroom doesn't feel "right." Thinking that the basement needs to organize itself. Appreciating my coffee pot with its timer.
DOG:
She has a bad cut in her foot. It is all wrapped up and she has been to the vet twice in a week where she flips out. She is smelly because I can't give her a bath yet. The medicine she is on makes her tired and she doesn't know how to walk on tape. She has figured out puppy stairs and now climbs effortlessly on the bed.
CLOTHES:
Kohl's + Vera Wang= A very happy me. I am in need of a closet purge. I wish I cold find a pair of jeans that fit perfectly.
SCHOOL (JOB):
I love my students. We are studying the Wild West, and it is really interesting. My classroom is so HOT. I am not able to wear sweaters or anything long-sleeved because it is unbearably warm.
SCHOOL (GRAD):
I have a lot of projects due in a short period of time, and I probably should be working on those right now. I am not sure this administration thing will be for me, but it is interesting. I cannot wiat for these two years to be over, so I can work in my Doctorate. I can't wait!
CHURCH:
I am at back at my home church. I am not sure what I think about that. I don't understand how they paid for me to go to a Christian college, supported me while I was a missionary, but now won't allow me to give any type of meditation/ devotion. I need to be in a place where I can use my gifts and be able to speak from my heart. Why be there? The people.
TELEVISION:
I really like Weeds. I know, I know. I also like Hogan Knows Best. I know, I know. I watch Journeyman, but only because of the time traveling component. I do love time traveling.
BOOKS:
I have been appreciating Jodi Picoult lately. I am on my third book. I also like my Sandra Lee slow cooker cookbook. I do not like her, but I have made two recipes, and they have both been delicious.
