The space goes
Down, down baby
Down by the roller coaster
Sweet, sweet Baby
Sweet, sweet delectible
Shimmy, shimmy cocoa pop
Shimmy, shimmy rock
Shimmy, shimmy cocoa pop
Shimmy, shimmy rock
I met a girlfriend
A Triscuit!
She said "a Triscuit--
A Biscuit!"
Ice cream, soda pop
Vanilla on the top
Oooh, Shanita
Walkin' down the street
Ten times a week
I meant it, I said it
I stole my mama's credit
I'm cool, I'm hot
Sock me in the stomach three more times.

so i just attended the most amazing conference of my life.  it wasnt amazing b/c willow creek or bill hybels had anything to do with it.  it was amazing b/c God met me there.  hundreds of thousands listened to words spoken at this year's leadership conference hosted by willow creek community church of south barrington, illinois.  the Holy Spirit was all over the place and in the most needed moments.  it was amazing.

clearly, i am not where i am supposed to be and yet, i am.  let me clarify:  God did not create me to be a secretary (which is what im doing right now), but he did steer my path to this point at this time for me to get a clearer understanding of what he did create me for.  if that still doesnt make sense, youll just have to ask.

i dont anticipate being in this job any longer than i have to be.  that could mean six months.  that could mean a year. i dont know. i do know that God has some crazy ideas for me, and while i have no idea how those things are going to happen, im taking life one day at a time to wait on God to show me exactly how his plan is going to work.

at the conference, the big question was, "what is your holy discontent?"  a holy discontent is something that you cannot stand (in a righteous way).  my holy discontent is this:  i cant stand the racial segregation that still exists (voluntarily) in churchs and in savannah.  i cant stand how poorly the church in savannah reaches out to its community- particularily its youth.  i want to see people of all races in the church come together in worship and in ministry.

today was the first day of school for public schools here in savannah.  this morning i slowly unpacked pictures of my students from windsor and hung them up around my desk.  it was bitter-sweet.  i know some of you read this blog-  to you, i just want to say i love you and miss you.  hopefully we'll get to hang out again soon.  i have a feeling that my life's work wont keep me from public school kids for too long.  have a great first week at school, and send an email if you get the chance- reaganwfhs@yahoo.com

grace and peace
