Amazing Grace is one of those movies that is so true it is frustrating. There was so much of that movie that I can identify with in William Wilburforce's struggle. I know I won't do anything as significant as end a slave trade but I am struggling with whether to go into ministry full time or pursue politics.
There are days when I wake up and all I want to do is give my all supporting Israel and fighting anti-semitism.
There are other days when to quote the film "all I want is spider webs."
Everyone says when your supposed to know these things you will but frankly that isn't quite so helpful on days like today with questions like these...
Where am I going? How am I getting there? Is this what God wants or what I want?

Ok so I know it's really nerdy to write two posts in one day especially since I don't even know if anyone ever even reads my blog... but I have to tell you how much I enjoyed this movie. It didn't make me want to change the world or be a better person it's just a great paint your toenails while eating Ben and Jerry's kind of flick. Grab this one and watch it with your girls or your special someone if you are one of THOSE people. Sorry for the obsessive posting but The Holiday is just that good!
Today I went to the Oral Surgeon and I thought he might take my wisdom teeth out today or tell me that I had to have them out in Chicago yuck! But thank goodness he said I could have them out when I come home in May. Where I also have Nurse Mom and an endless supply of ice-cream. God is good!
Mom, Gran and I are having a girls night tonight. We're going to watch The Holiday with Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz. I've been waiting to come home to see it. Spring Break is ending way to fast. I love home. But school is great too and I'll remember as soon as I get back there.
Last week I read two books by Lauren F. Winner, Girl Meets God and Mudhouse Sabbath. I loved them both. Lauren is a Southern Jewish girl (not unlike myself) and she became Orthodox in late high school early college. She became a believer and was baptized into the Anglican church during her grad program at Cambridge.
She wrote both books about her own self discovery and the journey of learning to incorporate her Jewish heritage and background into her Christian faith. It was very thought provoking. Because of Lauren I am going to buy a Sedor (Jewish prayer book) and a Book of Common Prayer. I also bought a Mezzuzah for my door yesterday! Read Lauren's books I know you love them!
