| is officially my favorite month of the year right now.
I'm sitting outside and the temperature is perfect, the sky is this deep blue color, and God's creation just looks sooo beautiful. I know we're supposed to have gray rainy weather in a few days, but today everything feels perfect. It has me in a very fall mood. Makes me want to go to a football game or carve a pumpkin or something.
Anyways.
Greek U is tonight - if you're greek, and a woman, you should come! Tonight we'll be doing the stuff we were supposed to do last week. I'm excited to see who God is going to bring tonight. We're going to have some fun. Also, it looks like Jacob VH is getting me some copies of Blue Like Jazz for the girls who are coming, which I hear is like an amazing book. I'm about to read it myself.
God keeps teaching me about real faith and trust. He has shown me that the faith I had in the past was based almost entirely on emotions and experiences - and that that isn't really a good thing. Now that I suddenly can't "feel" Him anymore, my faith has to be based on something deeper than just an emotion. Its a painful process, but I'm trying to trust that the results will be beautiful in the end. I read this awesome book at the end of the summer called "Second Guessing God", and it used a really good analogy for this situation. It basically said that being in this spiritual dry place of doubt and faithlessness is like standing at the edge of the ocean, and the water is rushing away from you, and drawing out all the sand from underneath you. Its frightening and completely out of your control. But, the book says, when all the sand has been washed away, you're going to realize you're standing on a rock. Its like the line from that Caedmon's Call song "Faith My Eyes":
"my faith is like shifting sand, so I stand on grace"
That's always been one of my favorite songs, ever since I've been remotely aquainted with God - even before I really started to understand the significance of it. Right now though, it one hundred percent accurately describes where I'm at in my walk. I hate the waiting for this to end, but I'm a naturally impatient person, and God is stretching me in that area as well. Growing hurts, but I know it's good.
Here's my new favorite verse to be encouraged by (when I'm feeling far from God):
"Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast." -Psalm 139:7-10
Recently, like, in the last two days, I have been LOVING hanging out with my roommate Stacy. We have had some really good talks about God and life, and I really am even way more excited to be living in this house. Its so cool to have another Christian woman to talk to any time I want.
ADPi chapter retreat is this weekend - I'm excited, but also a little stressed, because I really would just like to be able to sleep this weekend. The weeks really weigh me down, and I kind of feel like I need the weekends to escape. Oh well - I do want to get closer to my sisters. And my eighties outfit is pretty sweet.
Ok... well... I really need to be doing homework right now. So... I guess I'll stop doing my internet thing and be responsible or productive or... whatever. I love all of you, and I hope you're having a beautiful week

| yo homies. So here is what's up. I have this much time to breathe: 0. I don't know how this happened - for some reason I thought this semester was going to be easy. Seriously, all of a sudden it was like I actually looked at my calendar, and realized there was this much blank space: 0. So, this is a little bit alarming, and I'm really having to trust God a lot. Which is good, and He has really just been stretching me a ton these past couple of months, so its really not that surprising. Still - its kind of crazy right now.
Anyways.
I'm to do an ST session. Gotta teach some kids about MATH 1010. holla.
Everyone come to the Fount tonight!

| Possibly the coolest thing about starting the week after a holiday is that the end of the week is already that much closer. It FEELS like Monday, but really, the weekend is only four days off! Now that's cool.
I don't get to go to home group tonight because we had to switch our ADPi meeting to today, so that kind of stinks. This is the last time I will have to miss this semester though, so that's awesome. I miss getting to study with my home group. I've been having withdrawal symptoms.
I have my first test today in my technical editing class - it is over copymarking. The most interesting of all the technical writing fields. I love memorizing obscure symbols and notations. Seriously. I had to go buy red pencils with erasers this morning, because that's what the REAL copymarkers use - and our teacher wants nothing less than the best for her students! You have no idea how absurdly difficult it was to find red pencils with erasers. Well, I guess really I only had to go to two different places, but it FELT like more.
I can't believe the ADPi chapter retreat is this weekend - its an eighties theme, and we all have to dress the part. Goodwill here I come!
Ok. The place where I am typing all this is freezing, so I'm out. Hope everyone is having a good monday-ish Tuesday.

| You know, labor day really isn't a well-chosen name. I mean - its the one day you DON'T labor! That doesn't make any sense. Aside from a little bit of homework, I have done the exact opposite all day of what this holiday is called. I really do love being unproductive. Too bad we have school tomorrow. No more rest for this girl - not until the massive amount of sleeping I'm going to do on friday before the ADPi chapter retreat. Ok - back to homework and other boring stuff. Call and distract me please. Thanks. | | |
| I love weekends. Why can't it always be the weekend? I think people would be much happier, in general, if they could just spend their time doing whatever they liked. And not having to go to class... Jk. I'm grateful to be where I am right now. But I enjoy the breaks.
Our home group sleepover was AWESOME - we got to hear everybody's testimony and ate A LOT, and told most-embarassing-moment stories and were just generally goofy and girly. I loved it. I love my home group. They are so honest and encouraging, and they are an amazing place to grow. Not to mention they totally don't mess around with accountability... 
Yesterday I worked on my admissions essay for Brite Divinity school at TCU - FINALLY! I feel like I've been putting it off, but I haven't really, I've just been too dang busy! I actually enjoyed writing on it - it let me look back on all the things the Lord has done in my life up to this point, which is a very encouraging thing to do. I definitely suggest it. However, it is going to be waaay past the specified length by the time I finish my rough draft, so I'm going to need some english experts to help me pare it down a little bit... or a lot. We'll see how big it gets by the time I am finished.
Some of my sisters are coming to church again with me tonight, so I'm always excited about that. I finally managed to find Nasreen a Bible that is actually readable, and that is exciting also because no normal person should be forced to do their studying in the King James Version. It's just wrong. After church, Austin and I are going to play poker with my friend Jason and some of his friends. And I am going to lose five dollars because I absolutely suck at poker. But that's ok.
Today, I need to work on homework, and a project for my newest little sis, Colleen. I just love her. I know I say it all the time, but that's because it is true.
Ok, time to get to work! Hope everyone is enjoying their extra-long weekend!
