mash

remember that game we all used to play as little kids, MASH? it was so crazy...as little girls we either didn't want to admit who our true crush really was...or we were petrified when his name got crossed out. we thought we were doomed when we got stuck living in a 'shack,' and let's face it...life without a stretch limo would just be impossible.
i got to play mash last night with some friends on a chalk board table of all places-it was fun! it all followed an interesting day in the office--well, an interesting few minutes where the discussion of my future/current degree/what do i want to do with the rest of my life came up...it was overwhelming, but i'm getting used to it. i still have no clue what the rest of life entails, but my boss was quick to remind me that God is going to use me according to my gifts and talents, and right now that is here. it was nice to hear.
after the office, i bit through the cold and stood outside and watched the sunset. i've been trying to work on the 'listening' part of praying-and really expressing my concerns. not sure if i'm getting any better at it, but i'm trying. so the sunset helped with that-just to be reminded that God is bigger. mmm
the night followed with card games (there's a moose in your house!!! hay un alce en la casa! and SLAM!)--->which yielded lots of fun and laughing. we then played various games-'predicting' our futures and analyzing our lives.
i'm reminded of proverbs 16...a recent reading that has stuck with me and i think i should make myself read everyday. mash and all that stuff is great...but we don't have to worry about it. our Maker and Creator knows more about our future than we can even remember about our past. i still don't know where i'm going in life, but i'm glad i don't have to leave it up to a game of mash to decide.
