Carrie's Random Thoughts

Wednesday, June 30, 2004

I just found out that another one of my friends- Maria, is engaged. They got engaged on June 18 and are getting married December 18. They're already registered and she has pics up on her website. Maria was never one to do things halfheartedly though. I'm excited for her, because I know that shes really always wanted to get married, but I still dislike this pressure in this area to be paired off before you graduate college. Honestly, I can't imagine my finding someone who I could be with for the rest of my life- someone who wouldn't annoy me. I mean, I do think that sometime I'll get married, but I really feel like God has something more in store for me- something that I need to do. Right now, I'm going to be too busy to think about all of that kind of crap, with summer program, and teaching in the fall, and writing, and getting my cda, and moving, and getting the River started- which we're getting closer and closer to, in fact, we're closing on our building today!! all things going as planned we will start having our Exhibition Services the first week of august and have our grand opening September 12. I'm so psyched to get into the neighborhood and into our building! I'm trying to not let myself get too busy- I've been having to resist the impulse to volunteer for everything. If I did that, I know that I'd quickly get overwhelmed and then not have a servants heart for Anything, even the things that I'm really passionate about and feel called to right now. As Christians, sometimes we seem to serve out of guilt, or because we think theres no one else, or because we just want to be seen as the most holy. So, I'm restricting myself to the things that I really feel are where I'm called.
