the first week of winter break, 2007

today marks the first week of winter break. i am happy that i don't have anything to really worry about other than cleaning my apt and wrapping my christmas gift- because yes, i finished all of my christmas shopping today. i might go out and get a few more items but for the most part...everything is done! i could no feel more relaxed about this christmas than i do today. i think this is the first time in ages that i got everything all done a week prior to christmas. usually it's a few days beforehand. we'll see how long it takes me to wrap everything.

i had my endoscopy this past friday. the only thing they found was redness in my stomach. hmmm. they took a biopsy so we'll see what that says in a couple of days. on that note- i've felt super weird all day. but i think a good dinner should correct that. a good dinner and finishing up the season of LOST. we have about 4 episodes left. woah.

greg and robert threw a part on saturday. it was okkkkk. it was cold and muddy and i had no desire to go outside with all of the people who wanted to smoke or talk or drink. so i sat on the couch and kept falling asleep. i'm so bad at partying.

what else? greg and i went to church this sunday. the pastor said something really great, i'll be paraphrasing but it was something like, "your desires intersect perflect with God's purpose." and i started thinking about that and i wasn't really sure what he meant b/c I desire a lot of things that probably aren't Godly and have nothing to do with my purpose. but the more i thought about the more i realized that some of the things I desire, the things that feel extremely right- those are probably part of God's purpose? What are those things? Well I haven't recieved any divine calling or vocation annoucements from God but I know that I'm supposed to be a wife and a mother. I know I'm supposed to learn more about God and loving Him. I suppose those things are part of God's purpose for me and maybe prupose isn't always: job. I think a lot of the times ppl think that their purpose is what they do to make money. But maybe your purpose is what you do to serve God. I don't know really. I'd like to know what I'm going to do to make money considering in one year and three days I will be married. But I guess that's where trusting in God comes in...and sometimes that is just HARD.

Also, we drove to Dallas last night and saw Juno. Awesome, awesome, awesome movie. I'm not going to go into the plot summary or anything- that's what imbd or something like that is for (yahoo movies?). But I suggest everyone sees this movie. It's probably one of my favourites and I definately want to rent it- maybe own- because I missed a lot of the lines due to laughter. Not that it was a total laughing movie, there was alot of heartfelt realities. I guess that's what made the movie so great, it was real.
Go see it.
