Holy non blogging batman

There are few that read this especially since the newness of Facebook has errupted, but I wanted to hop on and update.

I sat here and re-read my blogs for the last um, three years and I am in awe.
one: the amount I used to write and miss.
two: the growth God has taken me through.
three: comments from friends along the way.

school rocks my world daily. I am so in the place I was made for. I love new clients and their hair. Whether I am waxing it off(my newest love and fasination), or cutting/coloring/perming/shampooing it, I am just really there. ya know...present and enjoying the time I get with them. It's a combination of me at it's best. And I really am looking forward to graduation and life and what is next.

Ty and I broke up again. And the closing this time is a goodbye. For the first time in a LONG time I am seeing clearly when it comes to men. I have tapped deeply into my desires and who I am and I want more than what I am seeing these days. I have been reading a lot and spending time in conversation with God about this whole love deal. and it's a good place to be with him. I really enjoy being Kristen.
not married at thirty one isn't exactly where I thought I would be, but it is where I am and I like it. I want to find a man to marry for sure but there's so much to be said for being single.

I miss my family daily. And it's funny because I came back from visiting Chicago during Christmas and knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that Montana is where I am to be right now. I was so going to move back home. BUT, the mountains speak to me. The scenery as I drive into town everyday is nothing short of breathtaking. EVERY DAY I get to live amongst nature and in creation and I love it. Tonight I am going jogging with a girl from school to ready my lazy winter butt for softball. I started a team for Co-rec from Marion, Kila and elsewhere. We are called "Those West of Town" and it would take you reading my entire Montana life blog to really know the fullness of that name. To summarize...those west of town are just different. I so look forward to posting more about my team soon.

I've been writing again THANK God. And going to church. I love my church and my pastor Levi. He's like a mixture of many of my past teachers and Rob Bell all combined. Haven't really met anyone there, but I go with my instructor from school and her family. It's a really good thing to be back in fellowship and back in great teaching from the word of God.
One of my favorite things he taught on this past weekend was praying from a place of victory instead of for victory. ponder that one...he said it's like if we understood God's omnipotance and character better we would pray for a common cold like we would cancer. Being reminded that neither is a big deal for God to do. Just really great stuff coming out of that church. And the worship made me glad to have a voice again.

what else? Not volunteering right now with the fire department. I miss it incredibly. I rented the movie "Fireproof" the other night and although Kirk Cameron is cheesy, I really loved the movie. So beautiful is the loving work of Jesus. It made me want to get back out there are fight fires. Shoot...5 more months and then I can again.

I am working at a casino west of town and it keeps me up late. I am hoping to either buy a blackberry or a computer soon. Would one be better than the other if honestly I can do what I need to on the smaller version? I really only need internet access and ability to upload stuff. Help would be nice...Justin or Ryan or JD or someone with computer savy.

I miss people that I once knew. I think about them often and wonder how they are. That's why facebook is amazing. So, I'm off to go jogging. Thanks for stopping by. Committed to posting more often.
