como te va?

things on my mind?

well, i’ve been increasingly obsessed with swing dancing. i know, i’ve just started, but its SO FUN. sunday, i had the best swing dancing night i’ve had in a while. especially after a really awkward night at Halo where there were leads who hardly knew their stuff and i was left chatting, and commenting on random things in the room… i dont really talk when i dance, i just DANCE. unless the guy can hold a decent conversation… anyway, i had a wonderful time. and i am going to miss it.. when i’m gone this weekend because…

I’m going on vacation with the family! Yoooopeee! (thats how they say it in argentina). I wont be bringing my laptop ( because i strongly believe that that separation is a healthy and GOOD thing), but i WILL write things down and let you all know about happenings. oh, im going to the dominican republic… yes, i am.

thirdly, i am extremely blessed by Jesus Christ. I love him so, and sometimes i feel so utterly unworthy of him because i mess up a lot. i’m selfish, judgemental and just stupid sometimes. but jesus still loves me, & i love him.

fourthly. (that segway was NOT intentional, i promise…) i’ve been sensing an increasing hostility against christians and gay marriage. its not cool, at all. i don’t think i have voiced my opinion openly about gay marriage to anyone who is for it… beause i know they will see me as a bad person, which is another reason i am not writing an entire blog posting about the issue. but this issue is incredibly complex and so freakin messed up (not in regards to gay marriage, just the dynamics of this issue), that i really can’t wrap my mind around. i asked God today “WHY?! Why does this have to be so HARD?!” and honestly, God warned us in the Bible. There is a point when Christians will be hated because of Jesus and what he instructed us to do. sometimes God’s directions aren’t fair, they aren’t…  I had a hard time swallowing this one, but God has a plan and I KNOW it. I’m doing to stick to it the best I can, and I know that faithfulness will be rewarded.

fifth, i have a cat friend who visits my window every once in a while. hes quite cute, i think i should leave some food for him.

anyways, theres a little peek into the mind of marsha. my mind needs a break now, at least my consciousness,  I be going to capitol hill tomorrow… to my favorite cafe bauhaus.
