Oh how I love rainy days!

This summer I have been living with my family, which has been great not only because the place I work is so much closer than it was from my apartment, but it really has been wonderful just hanging out with them and having a nice place to stay. Anyways, but on Wednesday, everyone left for Houston. Michelle and Jared are coming back this afternoon and my parents won't be home until Sunday. 

So, the past 2 nights I have held it down with Tico (our 10-year old chocolate lab, and guardian) and it has been sooo relaxing. At first I wanted to spend the night with Anne, who is subleasing my room at the apartment for the summer, but then I realized that what I really wanted to do was just be quiet and rest. Anyways, on Wednesday night, after having dinner at Chuy's with Angie and hanging out a little afterwards, I just watched some tv, read for a while, and went to bed. 

But last night was even better! After having coffee with a girl named Adrienne in the morning and then working from 11-3, I decided that I was going to have a movie night all by myself. All day yesterday it had been raining in Austin off and on and therefore last night was just screaming movie night. So this is how it went down:

1. Blockbuster to rent 3 movies: The Way We Were, Bella, and Super-Size Me (this was the wild card...the only one I hadn't seen and had been curious to watch something that may make me question the next time I'm tempted to drive through McDonald's for their delicious breakfast sandwiches and french fries...)

2. Pick up dry cleaning next door to Blockbuster...ah how I love convenience....

3. Order take out from Pei Wei- orange chicken, fried rice, and 2 spring  rolls....mmmm

4. Come back home, turn the A.C. down, change into my p.j.'s, and snuggle up on the couch to watch The Way We Were....this one had to be first, it makes me cry like a baby and I just love the story and looking at Robert Redford's young, beautiful face...

I wish it would rain more, because it really does the body/soul good to have a night like this once in a while....

Purpose

As many of you know, the word "verdad" means "truth" in Spanish. One of my favorite verses in the Bible is when Jesus says in John 14:6 that He is "the Way, the Truth, and the Life". It really is comforting to me that despite the twisted world we live in, where we are constantly given lies to believe and  truth is disguised, Jesus says that He is the Truth. 

I want this blog to be about Jesus and hopefully encouraging those who know Him, to encounter Him daily and grow deeper in their relationship with Him, and for those who don't, to perhaps explore more of what this guy, who said he is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (a pretty bold statement in my opinion...), is all about. 

Although my blogs will inevitably dabble in many topics and everyday life scenarios, I hope that I can still remain Christ-centered and focused.
