(wo)man of constant sorrow

 

So that’s not entirely true. Yes, I often become depressed and moody, but I am also often happy and joyful. But this is a good time to remember that blog titles are now brought to you by my iTunes on shuffle.

Ironically, I’m in a crappy mood at the moment. I try not to write when i’m in a bad mood, but it’s been long enough between entries. I can’t help that my free time today was made possible by this borderline migraine headache that kept me from work. And you can’t help it that I’m typing right after a frustrating visit to the optometrist that can’t seem to provide my updated prescription for contact lenses in a timely manner. So we’ll just attempt to move on together.

Obligatory update: not much is happening. School starts in less than two weeks, and I’m excited for that. No moving happening yet, but I’m doing my best to trust God’s timing. Work is uneventful, and i have yet to meet criteria for any jobs as an extra. So i’m stressing out a little about finances, but seeking God’s wisdom and praying for open doors of opportunity. Meanwhile, i find myself looking forward to Sunday Masquer rehearsals earlier and earlier each week. (The show is Easter weekend and the weekend after. Mark your calendars now.)

I’m really short on interesting anecdotes or uplifting stories at the moment. I leave you with things I have learned/experienced/recommend/caution against:

“Four Christmases”- cute movie, you should watch it.

Dr. Milton Hom in Azusa is the optometrist that you should avoid.

Ministry is no place for your pride or need to control things. Especially children’s ministry.

Friends who sympathize then urge you to move on and stop wallowing in your bad mood are a treasure.

 

Now I feel like a fortune cookie. I’m taking that as a cue to finish up. Feel free to leave tidings of comfort and joy.
