my bday.

my bday was in march. i had a few small gatherings to celebrate the event. i went to sushi w/ some friends, and then those with passes went to disneyland. i also went with my roommates to a place on the beach to eat dinner. the past few months i have realized how incredibly blessed i am as evidenced by the people around me. to think...that i knew no one out here a little over a year ago! and now i have a network of people that i really enjoy. i am just loving people right now and all the intricacies that they bring to life. how God has made each one of us unique, and we also have a variety of experiences. but these are woven together in such a beauty! it's interesting to note that...even though surrounded by people that you love and feel loved....you can still feel a loneliness. i think that's a gift...to remind us that what we are searching for will not be found in others. if we didn't recognize that loneliness...we would think that we have arrived. but...we haven't arrived. not yet.... not yet....
