"hope is the excited, joyful anticipating of God handling my life. then what is faith - faith is the certainty of what we hope for"

january recap
i've rewritten this post a few times...how do i sum up January? how do i put into words what i learned...while i'm still learning it? and how do i say that i'm confident that everything will work out, when in reality, i am still a little worried about it?
one thing i did learn, is that wherever i am, i want to be all there. i don't like thinking that things will be better if certain circumstances changed...and rely too much on that. i think that would be just setting myself up for failure. i don't want that.
and i do know that this month was not wasted. i do know that although i don't have complete understanding yet...i'll figure it out eventually.
and although i don't have any more answers...that not's true, i have 1 answer...i still know that we'll be ok.
and i have to admit...that as excited as we are about moving on and all that is next for us, we kind of had a sad moment this weekend realizing that we would be saying goodbye again...to some good friends and good experiences. we've learned a lot in Pasadena.

slumdog millionaire
Update: Slumdog Millionaire was nominated for 10 Oscars...now you have to go see it!
Matt and I had the rare chance to see a movie the other night...we chose Slumdog Millionaire because we had heard such good things about it (and because we love movies about India)...and it did not disappoint. see this movie.
