the mundane life of a crazy girl...

i've been spending some time in south carolina recently, more specifically in greenville. i love this little place not just because of my dear friend who is currently occupying the town but also because of the ease and comfort that i have begun to associate with this place. it's like my second home, even if liz NEVER has food in her cabinets! but also because something interesting always happens while i'm here. for instance. liz's dog mack was not feeling up to par when i arrived. by the end of the night he wasn't using either of his back legs AND he had diarrhea. so in the morning he went to the vet. well what did the vet say.... before i tell you, you have to understand that we were really scared for mack. he was acting so strange, only walking on two legs! ignoring everyone, just lying there.... ok so the vet. what did the vet say?? an extreme case of. . . . just diarrhea!? mack just had diarrhea. and apparently mack can't use his back legs while this happens... what?? really. but. that's just weird. but honestly that is what the vet said. now you may not think it's weird but come on. really. it's strange.

we have also ventured into the world of laziness while in greenville. laying around, eating the food liz doesn't have, and watching movies. more specifically we watched "it's complicated". what a perfect title for that movie. and what a perfect phrase. it's complicated. so many things are complicated in this life. i'm not going to even dive into that mess because it could last forever. however because of that fact, "life is the messy bits", i know this: life will always be a little crazy, a little mundane at times, even a little complicated when it should be simple. but it will always be nice to take a little break, visit an old friend, enjoy a glass of wine, and get "messy" with my best of friends. and live a life that is full of JOY because of a sovereign God.

Psalm 4:7-8

"You have put more joy in my heart than they have have when their grain and wine abound. In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety."
