Operation GM

Operation Grow My Eyebrows Out is underway. I decided that I want to get my brows professionally shapened and in order to do that I must become very bushy over the next couple of weeks. I'm thinking of investing in some hair bleach so that I can lighten the crazy hairs as they start to come in.

Today while I was hanging out with some friends one of them opened the Bible and start reading out loud some things that God has been showing him. It was pretty out of the blue and its the first time since I've been in Charleston that someone has read the Bible in a group setting. It was very refreshing.

This may be the first year that I didn't feel the need to have a New Years resolution. There are things I want to change in my life, new habits to form and old ones to break, but I didn't feel like I needed a new year to get started on them. It was kind of freeing not feeling the need to create a resolution.

Machuchu- the African name I created for myself (at times I like to spell it Machoochoo, like a train). I just found out that in Swahili it means dwarves. So ha, it is real african. However, in the language of Kimochi Unn, it means mushroom. Neither meaning are all that cool but its nice to know that my self-proclaimed name has a meaning. At the same time, its a little discouraging that I can't make up new words even when I try. Where's the creativity??

Its crazy how life works. The people that I use to hang out when I lived here I haven't caught up with even once, save one. However, the people I have been spending time with were only acquaintances before but are now becoming actual friends.

I have not lost my dream of becoming a mover and shaker. Its still there, I'm just learning to listen to God and move when he moves, shake when he calls me to shake. Where is the line between confidence and pride? Pride was creeping up on me and it took the bravery of a good friend to call it to my attention. I was greatful for that, though I didn't show it at the time because it stung.

Thank you, Lord for being so good to me!
