waiting in expectation

I have been complaining recently about not having extra time outside of work. Well, this week I do. and this morning I woke up early (7 am) and began my almost free day. But by noon, I was almost bored. I decided that after running my errands for the day, I would sit outside and read my Bible. Not that I really wanted to, but that I should aprovechar (take advantage of) the opportunity. But while I was running the errands, I was praying and I heard the Holy Spirit speak to my heart about living a life in expectant waiting for Christ's return. And I realized that there is nothing more satisfying that sitting in the presence of the Lord. What started off as an "i should" has turned into "i can't wait". So here I go...


Quote for the day:
"Our lives shold be such that God's glory is seen and praised. We have been chosen to be blessed and to be a blessing, and that through our lives and our works we might bless others with the knowledge of Christ. The priviledge is great and the responsiblity real." -Knox, God Who is Rich in Mercy


PS- Mom and Aviva, it was sweet to talk to you guys today, even if it is only on chat! I hope you have an amazing time in Paris!

a good sign

I live near a long thin park called Parque Forestal. It's really quite a nice park and it has a long stretch of a lane for riding bikes or jogging. And since I have a fear of riding bikes in this city, I jog. It's really pleasent. I usually listen to radioDisney on my mp3 player and jog along to Jonas Brothers, Beyonce, or Julieta Venegas. Great stuff. Yesterday on my jog I noticed that the trees were beginning to change. Fall has finally arrived and I am glad for the change. But as I was jogging through the falling leaves, I began to think about how much I like fall. And I had this special moment when I realized that I want to be here in Santiago, jogging through this park for many falls to come. After the past few weeks of cultural adjustment being a little more painful than normal, this was a nice thought to have.

la musica de chile

For a moment I would liek to ponder the music of Chile. You see, I listen to just about everything (except non-live jazz). Even country, although in this category I limit myself to Dixie Chicks and The Judds (only the old stuff). Here in Chile there is really only a few types of music. One, the corny romantic music that belongs on programs like "Delilah at night". Being the hopeless romantic that I am, I love this type of music. Another type of music is Reggaton (not sure about the spelling, but do I ever spell words correctly?). This is Latin America´s response to Hip Hop. Very good for dancing. I also love the fact that most Reggaton is in Spanglish, my favorite language. There is this other type of music that I like to call the "Corny Electric Piano Musica". Too corny for me and I can only take so much electric piano in one song. I am amazed at how much Englsih music is played here. And people sing to it. they actually know the words, but they have no clue what t

murderous thoughts for cats

I got home from work today, exhausted, only to face the horrible whining of the neighborhood cats outside my window. They used to be really loud, and then in the cold of the winter they disappeared. But now they seem to have returned in full force. I sure hope I can sleep tonight!
