STABILITY

     Transition is hard. After finishing my two year internship with Servant Partners, I realized that I love the idea of staying put. I gave myself one year to discern where I am going in life. Mind you not a permanent go, but a "what is the next steps in life" kind of thing. Needless to say, it has almost been one year and still have no clue what is next and what I am "doing" with my life.
     During this year, I've learned something about myself, I really like stability. I find it comforting that I have a place I can call my own and a job that I don't have to quit because I am leaving school for the real world. I think stability is always something I knew I wanted, but never had the capability to have. Now that my life  is not a total and complete mess, I am really enjoying this. Not having to worry were my next meal comes from or were I am going to live once my lease is up. I think this is why it's been difficult trying to discern my next steps... I am comfortable. Not sure that's a good thing.....
   

Movies

     I love movies! It's probably the most enjoyable activity I like doing on my down time. My favorite kind of movies are, what some may call, "dumb" movies. They are silly and pointless but soooooo hilarious! For example; "Anchorman" or "Zoolander" However, every now and then I come across a good drama that reels me in from start to finish, like "Pride and Prejudice" or "Forrest Gump". I recently watched a movie (name disclosed so not to spoil anything for anyone) that is now on my list of great movies. I can't really explain why I enjoyed it so much, maybe the acting, or the story line, or the special effects but lets put it like this... Have you ever watched a movie and it left you completely speechless? The kind of speechless where the car ride home is silent and the only thing you can hear is your thoughts saying.. "Did that just happen?" or "What the heck just happened?" I can count on one hand how many times I have been speechless after a movie. This particular movie left me wanting, but not for more, if that makes since. Well, maybe for more of the story but it left a nudge in my heart, like ouch that hurt, what else happens. Well needless to say it was a great movie!
