I always thought the whole post-college breakdown/adjustment period was something that was totally fabricated for television dramas, but now that I find myself in the thick of it, I'm beginning to believe that it's true. I got married 4 weeks after graduation, and my summer was spent adjusting to married life. But now that I have time to think, I'm not entirely sure what I want to do when I grow up. Sure, there is that whole writing degree, but now I'm not sure what I should do with it. Freelancing? Grant writing? Editing?
On a totally different note, the Wilberforce movie Amazing Grace opens this weekend, and I can't wait to see it. Have no clue who William Wilberforce is? Check out Christianity Today's site for a run down on the movie and the life of the great abolitionist. When you're there, be sure to check out the work of current abolitionists. I recommend reading Terrify No More by Gary Haugen (the president of the D.C.-based International Justice Mission). The book is a insightful introduction to the work of IJM and the worldwide work of abolitionists.

Random.
What an interesting week. It started off with Obama's announcement on Saturday (the one I've been waiting for!) and ended with an icy, slushy mess outside my house. However, Matt and I were snowed in together on Valentine's Day—how romantic!
I'm finding my two writing days to be terribly distracting. If it weren't so darn slippery outside, I'd go to a coffee shop or something without a television and internet access. However, I am extremely grateful that my dear husband believes in me enough to give me these 2 days. (After all, I'll be the main breadwinner come June when Matt starts full-time at Gordon-Conwell.)
Matt told me something interesting yesterday. Turns out the early Christians had such trouble accepting Christ's humanity, that they turned to Mary as the mediator between God and man. I find that interesting, because I am so attracted to Jesus because of his humanity. I like that he made himself small enough for me to understand. God the Father seems distant sometimes, but never Jesus.
On a totally unrelated note, I find the stories here to be very encouraging.
Many apologies for the random post.
