little limelight

Was really cool last night. I was running late due to the 10000 things left to do before I could make it to the home group. Seeing as I had done my homework reading only partially, I sat in the parking lot with my motor on, since it gets cold in the evenings and read my way through the chapter for the night entitled "a well-ordered heart". In the dim light, I read how Ortberg writes of balance and discusses whether or not a balanced life is really what we are looking for afterall. Oh, he is questionning the life I have been struggling to maintain, euphs! He goes on saying, are we not wanting more? Is a balanced life enough when you go to Somalia and need to start to give? Interesting, again, it was all about goals and finding a way to work not only towards a balance in life but for a driving purpose. What is my driving purpose? Is it work? Do I want this to be my driving purpose? Is my purpose even bringing me closer to God? and... and...

*knock knock*

"yes God??"

... euphonies, that is not God, that is someone knocking on your window

"Excuse me miss, but I think your car is a bit smelly"

- a yuppy decided to tell me in front of his friends.

"Oh, shall I move the car?" euphonies answers

"No, no, I just wanted to tell you there is a strange smell to your car"

"Yeah, this is a diesel, thanks anyway though" euphonies smiles and reminds him

Then I drove off to find another reading spot. I told myself whilst looking at him and smiling politely, that such a tomboy like me just cannot stand men who can't get their hands dirty. I like handimen. Hehe. So, now you know the secret ;) Just kidding.

I managed to read everything before we started in the evening and it was just such a great evening, it really allowed me to put a few priorities right in my own life. Like most weeks, I drove Byung Soo back home to his house with his bike in the trunk. Ahh, how I love big cars. This is the whole reason for big cars: moves, comfortable trips, helping out friends, sunday school, kids, kids, kids :) Charlette is growing on me. So I treated her out for a nice wash today. Getting ready for tomorrow. After all, tonight I will be busy with colleagues for a celebration - new job, new future, new horizons for Benny.
