One of these days I’ll go back to writing consecutive posts with paragraphs and a story/point/life lesson…but not today. Another list instead.

• I had the following conversation with my boss today.
  • Him: So, did you do anything for Valentine’s Day, any dinner date or anything?
  • Me: No dinner, but I did get flowers. The flowers were a happy surprise.
  • Him: Oh you did? How nice. [After a beat or two.] Flowers from someone that you know?
  • Me: Oh yeah…yes, yes.
• I am far too sensitive about the wrong stuff.
• I need to get away this year. Doesn’t have to be a huge trip, but I need to get out of town. If I plan properly, I can go more than once.
• My heart is still a little hurt-y over not getting that job, but I am trusting God. As I read through the Old Testament, I’m seeing a consistent pattern of people showing devotion to God and he delivers them. Big situations, small situations. Every single time: devotion, deliverance. My job is to remain steadfast, not in hopes of getting the reward, but because my God is worthy. [I'm certain I'll reread this paragraph tomorrow and wonder what I was trying to say and how I managed to say it so clumsily. It'll do for now.]
• No more fear.
• The song in my head today: If you wanna be with me, you’ll have to follow through with everything you say/And I, all I really want is you, you to stick around. I’ll see you every day, but you have to follow through.
