keeps me cryin' carolina

"took a walk along the battery, came to find that life ain't so bad after all"--Anywhere You Want, Shannon McArthur

sunrise did in fact happen. it was kinda cloudy at first. bit of a bummer. now i really wanna watch the sunset.


and i discovered my new favorite spot on this bridge...

then went to Village Bakery. delicious food, chill interior, friendly people. they're open 7 AM - 5 PM. i definitely plan on going there every once in a while when i'm home in charleston.



we then walked around charleston, went to some of my favorite places in this city.

"Took a carriage ride to the battery, toasted shots above the water, Then stumbled ‘cross the cobblestone, hands holdin’ us together"--Carolina, Corey Smith

also dropped by Teavana...

met up with leah too =]

look at that nerd...

it was a good day i think. so today i found myself having a conversation with a guy about Psalm 23. and as a result am now reading this:

i'm about a page in at the moment. i plan on rereading The Shack after this though. If you haven't read The Shack, then you should.

"don't forget that in the midst of your pain and heartache, you are surrounded by beauty, the wonder of creation, art, and your music and culture, the sounds of laughter and love, of whispered hopes and celebrations, of new life and transformation, of reconciliation and forgiveness."-- The Shack

i think i'm gunna hit up the beach for a couple hours tomorrow. i haven't been to the beach nearly as much as i had hoped. but school is right around the corner... also, it's been a while since i've done this beach meditation i learned in a meditation class last year. You stick your feet in, ankle deep, into the ocean. as the wave comes in, you think about all your problems and frustrations. and then as the wave goes back out, you let it all go with the wave. it always helped me release.

also, i've missed FCA. pretty stoked to get back to that. i always felt so much more alive and at peace thursday nights. and i'm lookin forward to what God will teach me while i'm on this year's servant team...

on a completely different note, i'm watching So You Think You Can Dance, and the dance number to Calle Ocho is pretty hot. makes me want to watch dirty dancing, havana nights
