"and at night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life"

psalm 42:8

what do you title something that is just a lot of jibberish?

i've recently fallen in love with the pride and prejudice sound track. the one from the newest film. it's been on repeat for two days now since i bought it from itunes. you could say it is a very romantic soundtrack. there is so much emotion in it, and when i listen, i find myself getting caught in whatever emotion the music is conveying. it is very beautiful. it matches the story quite well. 
i've also recently been contemplating things in my life. i've been accepted to work in montana for the next year. it's very exciting, however, i am worried about what my family thinks about my going off for a year. i wonder if it is selfish of me to suddenly "ditch" my family. what does it mean to follow the Lord and be respectful of one's parents at the same time? i'm not sure what that looks like at the moment. it's not that i am being disrespectful, but i'm trying to be considerate. yes. 
i love painting. it is a great thing to do while thinking things through, and even praying. i think painting and i fit together, although i am not great at it. we just have to get to know each other better and then it will be wonderful. 
it's been a very strange summer so far. a death, several birthdays, a science class, recording, weddings, a few concerts, tons of reading, sorting things out, figuring things out, waiting, waiting, and more waiting for God to reveal what his plan is for my life next month. it's kind of funny that i still don't know exactly how it is all going to work out. this has been the strangest summer of my life. relaxing, but strange. 
meanwhile, i don't have health insurance. and that's driving me crazy. i think i need to get that worked out. 
for now though, i'll continue to listen to my wonderful music while i paint, write, learn, and just hang out.
