New York, New York

I am a little overwhelmed by this city...after a week of staying in a cool apartment in Manhattan, I feel as if I am just beginning to see the uniqueness of New York. My family and I went to a Broadway play, have eaten some incredible food, walked and explored most of the island and enjoyed Christmas in our little home.

Why am I overwhelmed? It's like meeting a new friend and wanting to know everything about them in 10 minutes. The bond comes with time spent together...that's what I long for here in New York. Time to get to know her better. It's a magical place. I laughed to myself yesterday as I passed one of the many tourist shops with t-shirts saying "I Love New York"...I immediately thought of a alternative shirts stating, "Jesus loves New York". What kind of response would I get from wearing that around places like SoHo and the Village? Wearing a t-shirt proclaiming some obscene thought would in my opinion be more acceptable then something stating God loves a place...that He may actually be cool and compassionate.

Aslan

two worlds collide and one less ordinary seems more true.
I caught a glimpse of my beloved today. His hair is golden, His breath far reaching and powerful, His gaze piercing and embracing...
oh, all I want is you.
My Aslan. My Lover. My God.
I am faint with love.
Draw me back to You.

snow falling

Hello...
I wonder if time does equal distance? Just curious.

Snow fell on Seattle yesterday, absolutely gorgeous. Call me conditioned by culture, but Christmas without snow just seems wrong. So, I am now ready for the colorful lights, Christmas tunes and tree (yes Christmas, not Holiday).

Bless you as the year 2005 comes to a close and 2006 is soon to be born.
