On the drive home today

On the drive home, listening to: David Crowder's "Only You"

One of my fears about coming to D.C. was the fear of being alone. And although it has been truely a blessing to meet the people i have crossed paths with so far, it has really been the daily assurance, in one way or another..

that I am never alone.

-i'm just deeply grateful this evening..

"Oh what a tender compassionate friend, He met the need of my heart..." D.C.

Addis Ababa Resturaunt

Jadine, Jess, and I ate at the Ethiopian resturaunt down the street last night, my first experience with Ethiopian food and it was a good one! You get to eat with your hands, and obviously this is much more fun than
regular utensils, i highly recommend it!!

GOOOAAAALLLLL!!!!

I was in Dupont Circle last night when a bunch of cars with Italian flags raised them hi and were honking and screaming ITALY WON!!!

Everything is as it should be. :)

Went to a really cool church yesterday morning with my friend Jessica Lenington and our friend Trey (who is a member). It's called Christ Our Shepherd Church. It was the first time i got the chance to worship in a church that was asthetically beautiful. Not that a building has to be pleasing to the eye in order to be worshipful. But it reminds me of HIs beauty.

And His body was beautiful as well, the youth were setting off that week to help street kids in the area. They also have a ministry to the homeless. So, it was good to be with the folks at Christ Our Shepherd this weekend.

L'Italia sormonterà!

I am so stoked that Italy is in the finals for the World Cup! La vittoria sarà il nostro!

Sing me a sad song Justin Tam

Enter our lovely home and you will find the occasional summer pilgrim, passing through. This week we are hosting some of Katie's friends: Micah, Justin, and Chastity. We should really start calling our place the Silver Spring Holiday Inn. Our home bears the warmth of friends, good food, and singing... My roomates and I like to sing: in the shower, in the car, and in the kitchen.

Today was a blue, rainy day, so Justin sings a melancholy song or two, which is fine by me.

Check out the band he plays with in Nashville: http://www.myspace.com/danielellsworthmusic

HAPPY FOURTH!

Happy Birthday America! More pictures to come of fireworks at our nation's capital....

Laying down some rights

Today i lay down some rights.

To be needed or liked or accepted. Today I lay down the idea that I am owed something for the life i lead, that somehow God owes me certain things.

This is not my life anymore.
