I'm sitting here at work. School is out. I'm going to Florida in four days. After Florida, I'm going home, stopping in Milwaukee to hang out with two of my very best friends. Things are picking up and slowing down at the same time. I can finally read the books I want to read.

But I feel overwhelmingly insecure. Scared even. Everything seems so certain and then, out of nowhere, it's not.

Working front desk is hard when somthing is on your mind. It's hard to smile and greet people and not snap at them for asking stupid questions, or for assuming that you know every person in the dorm and how to conact them.

However, God is here. And as I was cleaning up the desk I came across this:
