Housing for Hurricane Refugees

Hey guys.  I just thought that I would post this info here in case you know anyone who can help.  The non-profit I work for (Texas CASA) is in the process of creating a listing of available housing opps for hurricane refugees.  We will then pass this info along to our 62 local programs and they will do the matching of families to families.  So, if you or someone you know- particularly in the Dallas, Houston, or Austin area has some extra space in their home for a refugee family, please contact 1877-TX4-CASA or visit www.texascasa.org (the info should be posted here by the end of the day).

Happy Birthday to Me


Monday, August 01, 2005

I am such a detail oriented person.  This can be good but other times I find myself planning out my next two years of life before I realize what's going on all around me.  I've really spent a great deal of time since I graduated from college (4 years ago- whoa) planning and re-planning my life in the FUTURE.  This as I'm sure you can imagine can get really exhausting.  I've had about a million different plans- from becoming a counselor to a lawyer.  I came to this realization a few days ago- things are much easier when I accept that change will happen at its own pace and that only the Father knows exactly where I'm headed.  I feel some clarity for the first time.  I'm thankful for the people around me who care about me and I'm joyous that I have found the love of my life to share this ride with me.

You scored as Emergent/Postmodern. You are Emergent/Postmodern in your theology. You feel alienated from older forms of church, you don't think they connect to modern culture very well. No one knows the whole truth about God, and we have much to learn from each other, and so learning takes place in dialogue. Evangelism should take place in relationships rather than through crusades and altar-calls. People are interested in spirituality and want to ask questions, so the church should help them to do this.

I realize it has been an extremely long time since I've updated.  SO, to keep my loyal public satisfied I decided to post.

I have been sick alot this past year.  I can't quite figure out why.  Maybe it's the fact that I work in a building that is built over a fault line and is slowly sinking into the ground.  Or maybe just life's little stresses have gotten to my immune system. 

I've had bronchitis since last week and am frankly SICK of being SICK.  I haven't had much of a chance to enjoy this jungle hot weather we've been having.  And, for the good part of last week I sounded alot like Barry White.  I'm serious people- I could project my voice for a really good version of "We've Got to Get it Together Baby."

I got my lease renewal notice and again am faced with the daunting task of decided if I want to move or stay.  And what kind of place will I be moving to?  I think I had a different idea of where I'd be life wise when I was making this decision.  So, that's making it a little more difficult too.  Also, I'm considering finding a roommate.  If anybody knows anyone, I'd appreciate the contact.  I'm remembering a great prayer that my mom emailed me yesterday-

LORD, when Your promises are long in coming, help me to remember that if something You promised has not happened, it does not mean that You didn't keep Your promise, it means that it's not over yet!  I need strength and courage to be patient and rest in the assurance that regardless of circumstances, Your will complete what You have begun.  It is not a matter of "if", but of "when", because You are faithful to do all that You have promised.  Help me to wait for the "when" and not give up hope and faith in the process.  In Jesus' name, Amen.
