why do we spend so much stressing, rather than standing confident in the reality that God and the universe has our backs?

i've been struggling to sleep through the night adjusting to a new apartment (and living alone again), meeting deadlines, and acquiring a job. yet, time and time again, everything comes through. every fantasy, every trip, every financial need, and every job. EVERYTHING...

i need to learn to truly trust in God and have full confidence in the order of the universe.

back to this blogging thing

not sure if anyone is out there... but i think it's time i return to the world of blogging. back to reading friends' posts and utilizing this space to think through politics and relationships and the little bits of each day that make life fabulous.

so updates: in a new relationship. it's great, and challenged me to think a lot about how and why i communicate (or don't communicate)... fortunately, i'm with someone who is patient and challenges me to be more open/honest/forward that i am used to.

back in austin. 105 degree days. dinner with old friends. salsa nights.

trying to write this dissertation. need to develop a schedule and stick to it, as something else always seems more interesting...

just started a new job this afternoon. working with middle school and high school age girls. will keep you posted.

things are great.
