I guess I was kind of going for a more traditional kind of warm pea-coat sort of thing.
Yeah, that didn't happen.
After much dismay, of looking through the racks upon racks of peacoats -and not finding anything that I liked- I finally decided to go for the sleeping bag look. I really wanted a hood (hey, it gets cold in Chicago, and I wanted to look all 'sweehheet-in-yo-eskimo-face' kind of way. :) Well, anyway, here I am, in Burlington coat factory, crawling between all of the racks, trying on every single one, and running excitedly to the mirror (I really felt like I was in the say yes to the coat tv show) to see if that truly, indeed was 'the one'.
Anyways, I got one. It's down, it's warm, it's black, it's cute as all get-out.

Update on the prayer furnace israel set.
Yeah. I know. I suck at it...worship leading, co/leading, singing, playing piano, anything else you want to call it, I'm not the best. Yeah. The last couple of times of leading, I totally bombed it...I swear. It is one of the most challenging things, I have ever done in my whole life, you are humble-fied/smack-ified every single time you do it, you get to see people's reactions in ways that you never thought would even hit/hurt you as bad as they did. (really, ouch!) I'm already half-way done with my first of year of worship leading, and you know, honestly, I thought I would already be amazing. I thought I would have everything down sooo perfect, that everyone else would be amazed.
Ha! God proved me wrong.
- Thank you God, that everything is in your plan, and that I almost never stick to all of my plans. Thank you Jesus for having a purpose and place for every single that that has been given to me, and everything that has happened to me.
