| I'm just sitting here at work taking my sweet time getting things done....my boss is gone for the week and left me with a list that i could probally get done easily in a day,but since i'm running on 3 hours of sleep and completely exhausted from this weekend, today could be extremely misrable sitting here in my cubical noddding off with burning eyes from lack of sleep and the very very bright computer screen.
However, at this early hour and after a cup of coffee that i told myself i didn't need...i'm actually having a wonderful time as i eat my Traverse City chocolate peanutbutter fudge and reflect on the previous weekend spent watching sunsets, climbing dunes, swimming across east bay and burrying sarah up to her neck as she sat vertically in the sand, eating about 5 meals at McDonalds, climbing on the roof of east hall at 5am, visiting the most adorable drive in movie theatre probally in the world, sleeping on the beach with our pillows and blankets like homeless people...because we were kinda, eating veggie hot dogs and puggy pies...or something like that over the camp fire....and much more, but i'm getting tired just thinking about the rediculous amount of things we packed in to these past 2 1/2 days.
(by the way...since i'm at work and i like to take advantages of opportunities for distraction, i looked up how far we swam across east bay and it was 1.6 miles...at an hour and a half...we were going about 1.07 miles an hour!)
I also got to spend some time in east hall and just being there while the GTB 06 project was there and seeing them interact was just so fun. AND i got to hang out with Tess and seriously...to be able to just see someone I care about expereience something that meant so much to me is just so unbelievably amazing. And the trip was worth it just to see that and hear about that in person and while it was going on. I mean, i'm sure I'll here about everyone's summer project stories when they get back, but to be there in the midst of it while it's happeneing is far far greater.
So, i should probally get back to work...this sugar is setting in and maybe i can be productive until lunch.

| can i just say that God is amazing...i mean He just really is. This has been such a significant year in getting to know who the Lord is and what it means to have a relationship with Him. He's just given me vision for who He is and what He wants to do with my life and THEN He's shown me how to respond to that...and not even just how, but He's provided me with the opportunities and means to do so!
AND He's been completely blessing me with just this amazing feedback and showing me how what He's been doing in me has been fruitful. Recently I've just really recieved amazing words of encouragement from people, relationships have been healed, friendships have been strengthened, I've gotten to have more contact in the last month with poeple from this summer since this summer, I feel soo loved by girls from HBH and friends from Crusade. I even found a whole new family sort of in mount this weekend...one that i've kind of pushed off i think, but there are some awesome people that i've been spending a lot of time with over the past 2 years that i haven't taken the time to get to know.
God is just good...and this weekend i finally just felt the reality of the verse from Mark 5:19 that says "Go home to your friends, and thell them what wonderful things the Lord has done for you and how merciful he has been." God has turned my life around, becuase of Him, i have purpose, i have life, and most importantly I know where I will spend eternity and how can I with hold that from people. How can I pretend like that's not the most important and amazing thing in my life. "For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ" !!!
God is so good...and life is not easy or fun all the time....i spend a good portion of tonight being frustrated and selfish and insensitive to Nathan and I sometimes feel very unappreciated by people and incapable of being used by God. I deny Him a lot and live for myself and for things that will give me success in this world. But that's why Jesus died for me and He has changed me sooo much this year, it's incredible...and I feel like what He's been doing on my inside is starting to show on the outside and I absolutely love that!
It just baffels me how people can go their entire lives ignoring the One who created them and loves them more than anyone ever could come close to! | | |
| I just have to say that God is good....I've really been able to see like this big picture of how he's putting things together in my life and He's just been teaching me some big things and it's neat.
hm...let's see, i guess i'll just do like a "happy-crappy" since the last time i got on here...
happy : I'm doing really well on my midterms, HBH bible study is amazing- the discussions are great and we just need more time to talk and i'm just surrounded by all these cool girls.
crappy: my alternator died and it costs lots of money and our last month's rent is due...so i'm now broke. and i miss nathan...a lot...i've heard from him, but only once and i just really feel so far away.
man, i can't wait till spring break - it'll be like the first time in years that i'm not going to Florida, but i'm excited to spend some time at home and making money. Hope everyone else has fun and safe spring breaks...and i'm real jelouse of all of those who are going to New Orleans - you're gonna seriously have sooo much fun! | | |
| nathan's gone...i took him to base this morning...he won't be back till june 10th...or so... . i don't really know how i feel about that yet...we'll see in a few weeks...
anyway....that's all i have to say! i'm thinking about a long weekend trip to indy over spring break! so maybe i'll be able to see some cool peole that live along the way  .
um...i don't have anything else to say really... | | |
