splash & love

Have you ever seen in a movie or perhaps life in general when someone is standing on the side of the road right as someone drives through a puddle that is at their feet? well I've seen it in movies definitely and have now experienced it first hand. As I was walking to work this morning someone drove through a puddle and got me real good. It's a good thing I can laugh about things like this.

Oh and the same guy has offered me a ride two days in a row. I think we're friends now.


Can I just tell you how much I appreciate my mom? Never in my life have I talked to my mom as much as I have since I moved to Chicago. At least once a week we talk. She's great at listening, I do my best to recipricate. And she gives some really great advice. Most times. Maybe her advice on relationships wasn't the greatest but at least I got a good laugh out of it. She's so supportive of my decisions in life and so encouraging when it comes to my decisions about the future. I'm just really blessed when it comes to moms.


After talking to Emily Scott (who I'm crazy about) last night, and my mom, I realized how much is hanging on this return visit to c-bus. It's nothing to worry about I guess. But still, realizing how my life could change after this visit is a little exciting and a little scary.


1 John 4:7-12
My beloved friends, let us continue to love each other since love comes from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and experiences a relationship with God. The person who refuses to love doesn't know the first thing about God, because God is love—so you can't know him if you don't love. This is how God showed his love for us: God sent his only Son into the world so we might live through him. This is the kind of love we are talking about—not that we once upon a time loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to clear away our sins and the damage they've done to our relationship with God.

My dear, dear friends, if God loved us like this, we certainly ought to love each other. No one has seen God, ever. But if we love one another, God dwells deeply within us, and his love becomes complete in us—perfect love!
