Blue jeans.

A good evening conversation is much like my favorite pair of pants. Yeah, I could wear ‘em everyday, but then I’d wear ‘em out. But man, when I do wear them… seriously, what could be better? (except wearing my favorite jeans during the conversation)

Asian invasion!

Tonight, I got to spend the night with an old roommate and a load of her friends from Covenant Church. It started with an out-of-the-blue mass e-mail from my ol’ roomie, Katie, letting everyone know she’s going to Tanzania. For two months. And will live with the bushmen. What?!

So we all came together to celebrate the awesomeness of this little Asian girl and her willingness to obey God’s will, even if it means sacrificing her five-year plans. We had good times, good food, and Katie and I even snuck in some good conversation. It was almost like God knew I needed a pick-me-up and knew that hearing about what my friends are doing would do just the trick. I definitely benefited from her sharing her fears, her dreams, and her desire to follow hard after the Lord.

To my ex-roommate who is one of the few people I can call “Shorty,” thanks for being a light and I hope you continue to be a fire as you live at 900 Round Bush road, ha!

(To those of you who have never seen the above image, that was created for our Christian sorority’s web site that I managed. From L to R: Me - worship team, Katie - Treasurer, Nikki - Intramurals. The reason I listed our positions was that it never failed… People would hand me their dues, ask Katie about the next football game, and tell Nikki she did a good job playing the guitar. Even though that was almost four years ago and we’ve moved out of Lubbock, it’s still the case - Tonight, my brother said, “My friends say, ‘Your sister is good at sports!’ and I say, ‘Uh, no. That’s Nikki.”)
