Organized Chaos

Organized chaos. That is the best ways I can describe my life at the moment. The Pregnancy Center is also a fair amount of organized chaos. Now that I think about it, that's probably the best way to describe the current state of my room, as well. In my room, I have massive piles of clean clothes, dirty clothes, bulletins, shoes, clothes that I've worn but could still be considered clean enough to wear again, things that don't have a home until I move into my apartment, crafty supplies, electronics, things to give to people, and blankets (confession: I'm a blanket whore). Because it's all in piles, though, I can find anything I need. No one else could, but no one else needs to. It works for me. I'm a piler, not a filer (except at 3 in the morning when I can't sleep. but no one is in their right mind at 3 am). I always laugh a little to myself when people ask me what I'm doing this semester. The better question is what am I NOT doing. Well, I'm not in school (PRAISE JESUS). Other than that, I feel like I'm doing everything.
And loving every minute of it.
I really just love living and seeing God work through everyday situations. Some are more obvious than others, but His hand is always there. Hanna and I knew we had to sign the lease for our apartment sometime in February but didn't know exactly when. We've been looking for 2 more girls to live with us since October and couldn't anyone. As in no one. At all. A couple weeks ago, Hanna met Casey at RUF freshman girls bible study (which I can't go to because I work durring the time of the study). I got a crazy excited text from Hanna that night saying she found 2 girls who might want to live with us. The next day, Hanna, Molly, Casey, and I went and looked at the apartment together then went out to dinner to kind of see if we all get along. We had a great time and were pretty sure we wanted to live together. 5 days later I woke up to a call from the real-estate company saying we needed to go sign the lease that day or the next day with everyone who will be living in the apartment or we would lose the apartment. Good gravy, that took me by surprise! It was one of those "THANK YOU JESUS" moments. Provider? You bet He is! Letting me rest in my planning or networking abilities? No way.

God doesn't tend to give me a lot of time to let things soak in or let things fall into place really far in advance. Things just happen really quick. It's chaotic. But it's organized chaos. Organized by me? Heck no! It's all organized perfectly by the one who made me.
