I was running late today to my internship. One, because my internal clock is set on Mondays and Fridays for 7:30 or later, NOT 7:20. Heaven forbid my body wakes me up for a time that would allow me to shower! Two, traffic was atrocious! I mean I thought I was in New York City. Three, I was on the phone with Justin and really, I can't multi-task. So as I come strolling into the office a good 13 minutes late, I turn the corner to see a stack of cookies on my desk. By stack I mean a half dozen. They were all wrapped up cutely with a little pink bow on top.
Now I think to myself: Do I eat them or do I not? Let's think here. I'm not sure if they would be anyone else's because only interns sit at this cubicle. Then, I was here on Friday morning and there were no cookies. Another intern of mine could have possibly left them behind, but I don't think that's a possibility. And then no one was here for the weekend, so that means they were left here intentionally for my eyes only. Of course none of this could make me eat them. I would feel bad if someone came in and saw an empty bag and a trace of crumbs to show that I was the cookie-eater culprit. Eesh... no thanks. I'm still an intern and not ready to bare the weight of a theft.
So there they sat. 9am rolled along and I was holding strong. By 9:30 I started to eye the suspiciously; wouldn't their owner come and claim them by now? When 10am hit, my lemonade wasn't as intriguing as my special stack of mystery cookies. The pink bow was calling my name. I then noticed a silver wire tie left on my desk. Remnants of ANOTHER cookie bag that must have been eaten! Oh my goodness! Then I see an ad around 10:15 for Oreo cookies. There's no way to escape. It's now 10:30 and I have had two cookies.
So there's that, the perfect Monday morning start. That and I have been listening to Matt Kearney almost religiously for the last two days. I don't know what's drawing me to his music right now, but it's moving. I love his lyrics and the meaning he puts behind it. I think I'm craving God. That must be it. I've also been listening to 98.5 a little more often and dying to watch some Driscoll sermons. I'm not sure what has sparked this, but I bet it's a good thing. I had been talking to Justin's dad Joe about what his church service was about and he said that the speaker who is from Bethlehem Baptist basically said a message of you are either with God or you are going against God. I mean its SUPER basic, but really, that's all it needs to be. And it's true. It's so unbelievably true. I mean if we aren't working in strengthening our relationship with Him, they we are moving away from Him. And when I think of it like that, I don't want to be walking away. I want to be clinging to Him with all I have. There seems to be a strong tendency for me to almost "idolize" things on this earth. Music, boyfriend, friends, etc. and I fail to really think of my Father. In an everyday setting, I maybe think of God or something in that region once a day. And that's not the person I want to be. So again I begin the journey to be a person of faith and to really know the God that I believe in and follow.
This weekend was a pretty dang good one. And much needed. The week had been absolutely crazy. 20 hours of internship work, followed by a couple late nights at work and sleepless nights at Justin's (okay, not sleepless, but it's hard to sleep when you have a boyfriend that cute. Lol) But I'd say the weekend was a hit because I got to FINALLY see the movie Inception, seriously folks, WATCH IT! WATCH IT NOW!!!! You won't be disappointed unless all you watch movies for is porn-like romance and profanity, because this one has neither. And I got to watch a fantabulous storm from the Knapps house. We ran out to the dock and watched this huge wall cloud come in. It was nuts. I've never seen something move that fast. And you could just see the downpour following it. So we booked it back up the hill and watched the fern green sky throw lightning bolts and rain at us. It was quite the event. What made it even more amazing was the beautiful sky afterwards. It was sunset and the clouds parted to reveal golds and reds and fuchias all across the sky. Of course my silly camera phone captured nothing of this, but Nate got some good ones. But Justin's right, you really can't capture something you are currently viewing. It'll never be as good.
The only other special news from the weekend is that MEGAN GOT ENGAGED! AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAAYAYAYAYAYAAYAY!!!!!!!!!!! I could go on FOREVER about that. Holy Hannah I'm so super pumped for her! Can you believe it? Haven't even been dating a year, but here they are, ready to get married as early as January! I'm so pumped. I can't wait to see what God has in store for them. Just in case some people are behind, Megan was a girl I met in Hawaii and then lived with all of last year. She's definitely a keeper in my friend pile. Lol And Matt is a just a doll face. SO congrats for those two. :)
UPDATE: The cookies were placed there to be eaten by anyone. Hmm.... not as exciting. Oh well, it was a good adventure.
