my job (design associate for CHDB, INC...whatever that means) has its pros and cons. one of them (both a pro and a con) is waiting for inspections. a con because it is just that, waiting. a pro, because it is waiting. i've learned to bring things with me to help occupy the time. computer. newspaper. books. food. drinks. today, i distracted myself for a while with the book by rob bell, entitled 'velvet elvis: repainting the Christian faith'. i've read it once (front to back)...but have revisited it numerous times. i just find it so full of insightful inspiration. it is especially beneficial today, a day when i am feeling like my heart just is not in my job. i'm sure this in part has to do with it being the second day back from a wonderful weeklong vacation in cape cod. but its also in part due to the constant struggle i have with "work", with determining what it is i should be doing with all that God has given me and blessed me with. (that is not to sound egotistical, and hopefully if you are reading this, you know me well enough to realize that) its just that lately, even if i can say that i enjoy my job, i feel like i am working for a paycheck. and there may not be anything wrong with that. but i'm not so sure it is right for me.
what does this paragraph have to do with my "introduction" paragraph. maybe nothing at all. but maybe just the desire to not only experience shalom myself, but to help others realize it as well.
and since i have a tendency to look up to, admire, and try to be like my sisters...i too will share some photos from our cape cod vacation...
