| so I haven't been blogging in awhile. blog is a very funny word as a verb. Anyway... the Lord is truly amazing. I say this from experience. I can never really fathom him. I could never ask for a better savior. I guess that is all I have to say. I just thought I should write something once in awhile here. | | |
| so this summer has been filled with such hectic events that I can hardly believe that by the end of the week school will be back in progress. Do to a change in careers on my father's part, the family is on the move. Currently I am sitting in a temporary apartment less than five minutes from the site of the house we are having built. Emotions run rampant through all of us, and they range from ecstacy to deep depressions. It takes alot to hold on to God's promises when thrown into the fire. But looking at the path forged it can only be God's soveriegn work leading us on, and that alone amazes me. I won't say that I am at all disappointed that months of mowing the lawn, moving brush, cleaning walls, closets, pantries and what not is over. Because a part of me, a big part, is very relieved to be returning to the comfort of the known.. school. I don't know if it is because of the strenuous summer, but I am eager to begin, to begin classes, to return to the safety network of my bible study friends, to campus crusade. I get giddy to think of all my art classes, that I will be taking classes that will hone the skill God has given me to make my mark in the world. Ideas for a comic have been bouncing through my head for a good four or five months and I have continually been writing background to my characters and figuring plot lines and with every detail, my excitement for these lives I create grows. I think that is really all I wanted to say, I am always horrible at winding down... but I will say this I love this CD I am listening to. If you have not heard of Dead Poetic, you should check them out. and currently zanga is being retarded and not letting me put what I am currently listening to soo... it is Dead Poetic's Vices. It took me some time to get into this album, but it is worth letting it suck you in even if it takes a few listenings. - oh how retarded of me, I never did explain my title... well my dad keeps on speaking of the story of the isrealites being lead to the promise land, just as God is leading us, we shouldn't turn to look back at Egypt, I can't be looking over my shoulders at what was, but like a horse wears blinders, must keep my focus on what God holds for my future. That is mky titular meaning. | | |
| Today has been a fairly fine event. My one class was only half as long as usual so I was able to get a nice long nap in. Which is good because I was feeling slightly ill. Also today was sharing in the dorms. It was nerve-wracking, but definitely good. Some people were pretty blatantly uninterested, but then a few were also very interested and we talked a bit. It was definitely a good experience. I am sorry this blog is short, but I am tired, and am looking forward to tomorrow where my biggest worry will be to run to the art supply store to buy a new pad of paper. Yes, tomorrow will be beautiful. I hope you are all well, God's blessings your sister in Christ | | |
| Just to let you know, today is going to be an amazing day. 1) because I just said so (haha...) 2) because God knows what it's all about and he made it that way 3) my 9:10 has been cancelled and that means sleeping in baby... 4) I love Friday's 5) but even more than that I love weekends 6) it is the Chasing Elvis concert 7) I've gotten my art/IAH friend to agree to come and she wants to invite friends. 8) I am inticipating the laundry party on Saturday 9) I am anticipating church on Saturday night, where I will worship the most amazing God ever (duh, the only one there is!) 10) why do I need any more reasons, Jesus blows my mind, and he will use me today if I only ask, which I am, so I will somehow, somewhere be used by God... that makes today an amazing day! And just to let you know I totally wrote tomorrow for all of these before I realized it's today, ha. I love every one right now, you should all come by and get free hugs. Oh and want to hear some irony. I gave up desserts and sweets, candies and such for lent, and today I recieved a beautiful care package from my home church's college ministry -filled with chocolates and candies... haha, very funny God. He is a silly... I did not eat any of it, it is all stached waiting for the day I will once again eat my beloved sweets... I'm gonna gain twenty pounds. :o that is all, I hope your Friday will be as amazing as mine  | | |
| Yep, that is pretty much it, just kidding. If I have to write a blog, I should say something. I am excited at where my life is headed right now, along with a little freaked out. I feel that comes standard however. I feel like God is really stretching me in my faith right now, and I feel really close to him. He's been number one for some time, like he should be, but right now, I'm actually putting him there, rather than some of the other things I have been trying to put in that position. I know that God is desiring me to grow and it is a little scary, seeing as growing ussually involves pain.... But God keeps reassuring me that he loves me and he isn't going to give me more than he knows I can handle, so that is a comfort.... Oh and random thought jump... today was the most beautiful day MSU has seen in a long time, completely gorgeous! Anyway, that was that outburst. So back on topic. God has been working the hardest on my judging problem. I used to snap so fast to conclusions about people, or look down on them, not necessarily my Christian friends, but more of the non-believers. God has really opened my eyes to how crummy a person I was. I've been working so hard lately to try to see the person God created, not the sinful, fallen one that is so easy to degrade in my mind. Is it wrong to feel so good about getting good at not judging people? That was confusing sentence structuring if I ever saw some... But I can see the 180 God did and it excites me. I used to be so calloused towards others in my soul and now I find myself crying for people I don't even know, it is a good thing :D I am excited to see where else God will stretch me. Oh and if you read this before Wednesday, pray for my math exam - I hate math, passionately. Thankfully God does not say you need to love that. God bless and have a good one, I am :D | | |
