it feels like today...

yesterday i called my friend heather and when her phone rings, it rings the lyrics to the song "feels like today" by rascal flatts... i really like that song a lot... that inspired me to put the cd in and jam to it last night and this morning... lately life has felt pretty blah... i finished school... and work has stayed consistent... ministry has been very low-key... i don't feel like i do a whole lot, but it's been getting exciting - building relationships with the sr. high girls... and we're starting a new bible study on esther this weekend...

but sunday was wonderful... it rocked my face off... and this week has continued to get better... i get to work a week of centrifuge as a special team staff in northeastern washington... which is totally exciting... i miss camp a lot - but i can't work full summers of camps... there is a lot of other fun stuff surrounding me working at riverview - heather is going to be there with her old church, so i'll get to spend time with a dear friend... plus, i get paid from my job, because i get paid vacation, plus i get paid for working camp... plus all my lodging and meals are included... plus i get reimbursed for my travel to and from camp... so all that stuff completely rocks my face off... and i have it on good authority that riverview is the best northwest centrifuge location... and i haven't been to eastern washington - i'll be really close to the panhandle of idaho - which isn't that far from montana - so i may drive to montana just for the heck of it - and to add some states to my list...

but all that being said... there's something else in the air... i can't quite put my finger on it - and i don't know if it is that there's a lot of stuff going on... i'm writing up a story for the paper next week - and it's my first story not about a convention event... where i get to go out in the field and interview and take pictures and research it... plus our church has a mission team coming in from odessa, texas to do sports clinics/backyard bible clubs in a couple of weeks... so there's some buzz about that... or maybe the thing in the air is the beginnings of normalcy... as the "lazy, hazy crazy days of summer" kick in...

i'm not sure, but as i listened to the lyrics (feels like today) this morning on my way to work, i was brushing tears off of my cheeks... it may not be today - but soon... something is on the horizon... sometimes i get this in my mind... and sometimes it turns out to be nothing more than God wanting my attention and sometimes it turns out to be something more... like a semester in east asia or a huge life-move to the northwest...

so i don't know what's coming, if anything... but i feel like it's big... and i like the way that it feels...

here are the lyrics, just in case you want to read them or don't know them...

Woke up this morning
With this feeling inside me
that I can't explain
Like a weight that I've carried
Has been carried away, away
But I know something is coming
I don't know what it is
But I know it's amazing, you save me
My time is coming
And I'll find my way out of this longest drought

It feels like today I know
it feels like today I'm sure
Its the one thing that's missin'
The one thing I'm wishin'
Life's sacred blessin'
It feels like today
Feels like today

You treat life like a picture
But its not a moment frozen in time
It's not gonna wait
Til you make up your mind, at all
So while this storm is breaking
While there's light at the end of the tunnel
Keep running towards it
Releasing the pressure,
that's my heartache
Soon this dam will break

And it feels like today know,
it feels like today, I'm sure
Its the one thing that's missin'
The one thing you're wishin'
The last sacred blessin'
It feels like today
Feels like today

And it feels like today know,
it feels like today, I'm sure
Its the one thing that's missin'
The one thing you're wishin'
The last sacred blessin'
It feels like today

Feels like, feels like your life changes
Feels like feels like your life changes
Its the one thing that's missin'
The one thing you're wishin'
The last sacred blessin'
Feels like today
Feels like Feels like your life changes
Feels like Feels like your life changes
