Walk Ye In It

important stuff

my phone rang the other night. i answered. it was a friend. him. he couldn't talk long. actually he planned on leaving a message. i fouled his plan. cause i answered. cause he called. no matter.
before he hung up. he had a question. not how are you. or what's been going on cass. or whether i'd had a good day. no. he had time for one question. it was about romans. he thought i might know. i didn't actually. no matter. we hung up.
but i was thinking. later. of how extremely profound that was. here i hadn't talked to him. in nearly two months and he only had time to cover one topic. and he chose the bible. salvation in particular. and then i thought about how much i/we/all of us spend ourselves over trivial matters. when we should be thinking/talking/questioning each other about the really important stuff in life.
you see i've been avoiding this here blog. cause a lot happened in a short time. and i didn't feel like writing a novel. not yet. i'm saving that for my thirties. so i just didn't write at all. and then more stuff happened. but then i realized that it's just stuff. and it's okay that i don't share it all except for the important stuff.
so i'll skip the road trips. i'll skip the good movies. the yard sale. the precious family that made me cry. the friends. the really good friends. the wedding. the engagement. the other engagement. oh and the other engagement. i'll also skip the volleyball. my grandmama beating me at checkers. three times in a row. the books. the really good books. the doctor. the diet. the phone calls. all the phone calls. and all the rest of my stuff in a sea of stuff that happens all the time to everyone.

what you should know about me is that i have decided.
i have decided what i want to be when i graduate.
i want to be a christian.
not sure what i'll DO. but that is what i want to still BE.

all the rest is just stuff anyway.
