sit. listen. delight.

As always, this song has been delighting my soul. Really, I do love it a whole lot...


In other news: OUR MAPS CAME TODAY! That's right, now we can start looking over the routes for our trip at the end of May. Don't know if I've mentioned--Mariah and I are now in the official planning stages of our backpacking trip. We've picked the trail (Superior Hiking Trail) and now have the maps to really figure it out. 4-5 nights on the trail!! There's an REI garage sale this Sunday so we're busy list-making and figuring out what we have, can borrow, and still need to hunt down. Ah, so exciting!

I can't believe it's Thursday night already. It's been a week of reflection and realization; of emptying and surrendering. It's felt like life's slowed down a little--when life slows we have to face things, you know?--face who we are and where we're at; who God is ("for us" and for the rest of the world); who everyone else is and how/why we interact the way we do. Yes, that has been my week. That and a bit of stiff sleeping because I've been on the couch at night, not in my bed. That darn animal keeps me up at night. We think we've decided it's squirrels. Mariah saw them on the roof and playing around in the gutter. I suppose it's a relief to know they are 1. squirrels (not rats) and 2. in the gutter (not in our wall). But still, wish they'd find another house. Apparently (so says the landlord) there have been problems before and she even had the roof replaced at one point. And so the saga continues...

Off to watch Inception with the roommies. Great movie.
