City of Sorrows
This song has always hit me, probably because I love the book of Jeremiah and this song describes a lot of what Jeremiah ends up talking about. Yesterday I ended up listening to a lot of Fernando Ortega and Waterdeep as I tried to pray about where God is taking me, and this song, along with several others, really seemed to illustrate where my heart's been. I long for redemption and healing for Tucson and its people. I love the mission of the Village and am excited about seeing it expand.
I couldn't upload an mp3 because blogger doesn't like that, so I had to set it to pictures. In general, I always find these cheesy, but there were no youtube videos of this song, so I just threw in pictures of my students from last year so you could hear the song. I would like to re-write it at some point, because I like the imagery of his lyrics. I also had to make the movie very, very tiny, otherwise it wouldn't load...so just listen to the lyrics...

up the mountain
I went up the mountain yesterday to spend time with God and to check on the progress of the fall leaves. The leaves were mostly still green, but it was an AWESOME time with God...and it was cold!!! AHHHHH!!!! I really miss fall....
Here's some pictures -

cleansing
you know those clothes in your closet that you say, "Wow, I never wear that anymore...I should get rid of it...but what if I want to wear it sometime? Maybe I should keep it..." yeah, you know those...Well, today I was finally fed up with all those clothes taking up so much room in my closet and getting in my way as I look for things to wear in the morning, so I decided they had to go! And after taking them all out - it added up to 3 trash bags full of clothes!!!! WOW. I feel like such an American, but hopefully someone will be psyched about finding some nice clothes that I just never wore.
If you're thinking how you have tons of clothes or STUFF just taking up space, get rid of it!!! It's really freeing :)

today was much better
I mean check out the weather
On such a glorious day as this, i planned on having some time with God by driving out and praying at the San Xavier Mission - with the weather like this - it was perfect. Sadly, they closed a little early, but it's so close to school and just so dang gorgeous with it's new restoration, that it was totally worth it.

this is how i felt today
looking at this picture makes me want a pumpkin...or able to be outside in the cooler weather with grass...the air conditioning was broken today, and i had to stay up late grading, so i didn't get to bed til 12:30.
It was great to talk with people at church about mission and life, and then to grade outside around 11:30 with the rain coming down, but the "oh my gosh if my students don't hush up, I'm literally going to kill them" part of the day wasn't so merry....very, very, VERY cranky...
