Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end

[Molly Page, I pay tribute to you.
You have my permission.

Closing time
Open all the doors and let you out into the world
Closing time
Turn all of the lights on over every boy and every girl...

Right now it feels like there's not much of an end in sight. I know there is, but I am straining to see the light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. Once day camp is over, I think I'll be feeling more like I've been let out into the world (I certainly hope so). I'm ready to have a chance to really clear my mind, maybe even meditate in prayer over what God wants for me. It's a testament to what I've allowed my life to become, but having that much time to dedicate to myself is a luxury.

Closing time
You don't have to go home but you can't stay here

True dat.

I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home

The real reason this song popped into my head is because the other day when I met with the youth band to discuss VBS, we were discussing songs to close the assembly sessions, and they began to rewrite the lyrics ("I know whose mom's gonna take me home..."). The fact that it kind of correlates with Molly's recent post title hit me after-the-fact.

This is so cheesy, but I really am having a galactic blast at VBS this week. lol I love the handful of people I know at my church, and I wish I had more time to spend with them, and to meet more people. Maybe the proposed changes to how we do things in the children's ministry will allow me to do that. Maybe not being in school will allow me to do that.
Somehow, I'm afraid not. Whenever I think things might lighten up for me, I seem to find a way to take on too much...again...
The fact that I've kidnapped my Lauren to volunteer with me is super fun, too.
We also have the most beautiful children at our church. Just sayin'.
I just adore my church family and would love to find ways to be more involved without killing myself.

Closing time
Time for you to go out to the places you will be from
Closing time
This room won't be open till your brothers or your sisters come
So gather up your jackets, move it to the exits
I hope you have found a friend

[emphasis added] I feel more and more that way about Tuscaloosa EVERY day.

I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home

Large order of crack fries for dinner chased with a diet Mountain Dew ftw.

No Seattle trip (yet). It's definitely for the best.

Found my first varicose vein yesterday. It's on my right leg, close to the bend in my knee, and is approximately 3/4 cm in length.
My life is over.

P.S. Best fb chat salutation ever: "Well sleep like an angel, dream like Jake Whipple, and I'll see you tomorrow!" Thank you, Steven Yates. XD
