Yesterday I posted a listing on Creigslist.com wanting some moving boxes so I could pack up for school. So I received an email a few hours later telling me that this guy had some that were in his front yard that I could come and pick up if I wanted them… So being cheap, I did.
I MapQuested his address, and to no surprise it led me around the world when in all actuality I was across the street from the house to begin with. I missed the exit because mapquest said to take 90C, however I never found that exit. Luckily I was with Daniel, who was nagging at me that I should have printed the directions instead of short handing them on a scrap piece of paper.
We arrived on Gallatin Pike (in Nashville) then onto McGavoc Pike. I ended up in Inglewood and realized I was “not in Kansas anymore.” But I felt comfortable knowing that it was 11:00 am and I wasn’t alone. I finally found the house that I passes 3 times before I found it. I took about 10 boxes which were liquor boxes…yay…
I guess today was a great way to start off this school year…in some ways it is the same as what I am experiencing right now. I don’t know where I am headed but I know I am not alone and though it may take a few tries I will be just right where God wants me to be and I will arrive in the time he has planned. But I know I will be receiving far better things than liquor boxes:) I know it is a far fetched analogy but it works for me.
Off the subject, sort of, I read my sociology book (yea I know I am nerd) that was required for the class, Gang Leader for a Day. It was really interesting. This grad student went and observed the Robert Taylor projects in Chicago and followed around a leader of the Black Knights gang. It was really insightful. I didn’t think I would actually like it but I did. So if you have a few days of nothing go rent that book and read it. It may open your eyes.
Now that I have rambled for about 10 minutes about nothing (which may be what my blog turns out to be) I am going to go enjoy my evening!
