This year I purchased this nifty little journal:
It is a five year journal, so you will get to see how your answers change through the years. I am excited to look back through it in a couple years and see all the crazy things that have happened. A lot can change in five years! Five years ago I was still living in Norman and my dad had started the process of applying for his job at Kirtland AFB. I could never have guessed what that would lead to and where I would be now!
Check it out here.
It is now on my 'currently reading' shelf in my room, right up there with "The Valley of Vision," "Peter Pan," "A Gospel Primer," "If," a collection of Hemingway works, "Christ Formed In You," as well as "The Lord of the Rings," and "The Weight of Glory," which were both absent from the picture as they were hangin' out in my purse. So far I have been fairly consistent in pulling it down every day to answer the question of the day.
Here are a few of the questions and my answers:
September 1st: Teacher or student?
"Student at the New Mexico Bartending Academy. This will be my second week. I need to be a more faithful student of music and art.
September 3rd: Where have you found evidence of a higher power?
"In the grace that is daily given. In the Word. In the blessings I do not deserve. In God's beautiful creation. In the Gospel and Christ who I am saved in."
September 4th: Where do you see yourself in five years?
"Gah. In five years I will be 28. I would like to have seen more of the world by then. Have gone on short term and perhaps longer term mission trips, live somewhere in Europe?, find "the one," get married, have at least one kid."
Only the Lord knows if any of those things will happen.
September 5th: Today you learned _________.
"How to say awkward drink names without too much shame or immaturity. Oh bartending school..." Then I proceeded to list them, but to put them on here would look like "awkward sexual term," "variation on previous term," "additional variation on same term," and "adios @%*!^%%$#%@^." Soooooo yeah.
September 6th: What was the last online video clip you watched?
annnnnd I'm just going to post them because they are hilarious.
September 8th: Who are you jealous of?
"Chris Thile's girlfriend. That is all."
Not in a creepy way... I mean, who isn't?
In other news, I finished bartending school and got my alcohol serving licence yesterday, so I am starting the job hunt tomorrow!
That's all for now!
