Doink Doink.

mm...our exchange student is singing downstairs. She sings in her room late at night when everyone else is sleeping. And it's really great, I truly enjoy hearing it drift up the stairs. Beautiful.

The other night I got together with an old friend, who I haven't seen in years. It was strange and good. We ended up driving out to the International House of Prayer and she prayed with me in the Europe room. Whoa, was that what I needed?
I feel better.

If you know me well, you know how obsessed I am with Psalm 84...So, yeah, I have read those verses (verses 3-9 of that Psalm) about 15 times this week, and saying them in my head as a way of reminding myself that the journey is indeed filled with autumn rains.
It's going to be better than I realize, and I should know from journals I've kept for years that times like these only produce amazing fruit, and that it is seen in hindsight.

I don't do this very often, I have a blog where I can post more pictures and stuff, but I do enjoy the comments and looking at everybodies sight, sooo I think I want to keep up still.

And also, I have a funny story:

I was at Starbuck yesterday, making the coffee, and I was the one at the espresso bar making all the drinks and calling them out, you know...I was like busily making them and calling: "Iced Venti Nonfat latte!" "triple grande mocha, for Joe!" "Tall orange mocha frappucino, for Derek", when all of a sudden I called out "Grande M-" (what the heck, double take, yes, folks, it was a grande milk.) "Grande Milk!"
So, all of a sudden the whole place is silent. They all stop, the music stops. Everyone is looking at me and the counter, wanting to see who in the heck paid like four bucks for a cup of milk, and who drinks just plain milk at Starbucks anyway.
I see this hand reach around the corner and this nervous little man grab the cup and scurry towards the door, head down.
My co-workers were like "Did you just call out a grande cup of milk?"

Yes I did.

Only time that's ever happened.
Sarah and Rach said it was a doink-doink moment.
I must wholeheartedly agree.
