i was posting some verses that included this line--the person who lives in right relationship with God does it by embracing what God arranges for him.

and i had no idea what God was arranging for me at that very moment, and had been arranging for quite some time. but i'm embracing it and holding on tight.

and in just over one more week...i'll be in anderson once again. working with the volunteers at my amazing church. living in a really great house with lili (and yes, it has plenty of room for the foosball table). just enjoying it all.


on another note...on my way to work today (running almost late since i stayed up too late once again), i passed this plasma donation place. i pass it everyday, but today it caught my attention. you've heard about this deal right? sorta like giving blood, except you can do it more regularly and they pay you like $50 each time or something. when i drove by today at about 15 'til 8am...there was a line outside. a line of what looked like homeless, hungry people. waiting to donate their plasma. to get a little money. to survive.

it broke my heart.
