ok, so maybe i'm a full convert

my excellent friend, heather b, has baptized me in the waters of john mayer, and i am SOOOOOOOO grateful!!!!!!!!!!! i think she's converted me to a real fan. its been years since i had an artist that i could really relate to, and its an amazing feeling to have that back. i think this is the beginning of what could be a beautiful relationship between me and john mayer.:)

and...we went to bridge the gap tonight, which was awesome, and frustrating at the same time. but mostly beneficial to my spiritual walk. we took a test, somewhat like one you would see in christian cosmo, about spiritual gifts. I found out that my top three are:
1. discernment
2. mercy
3. prophecy

one of these frightens me. i'll give you three guesses, but i think you'll only need one. i think that God has for sure shown me things that he hasn't shown others about the direction in which they are going. sometimes i even feel like i can see the end product of people's bad and good decisions. i see mine too, but those are harder to swallow. on many of the huge decisions i make in my life, i can see what the end outcome is going to look like depending on which path i take, and a lot of times...the one i wanted to take, is not the one God had planned for me.

Recently there have been things popping up all around me that suggest to me that I am doing exactly what God has wanted me to do for so long. Like little pats on the back from the Almighty. He has blessed me recently with some really great friends, the job of my dreams, and a peace of mind about my life. and things keep coming up in church, at bridge the gap, and even at STAMPING parties that have to do with submitting to God's plans, even if its in a really uncomfortable place for you.

oh and by the way, there's no way i would have made it through this eye-opening beginning to a summer without heather b. you have truly been a consistent presence in my life when NOTHING was consistent...and i believe that there is a reason for that.
