rainy, rainy day.

I like lists. So I am going to continue writing posts in list form until I decide to spend long writing things out.

-remember how I was just RAVING about how beautiful the weather has been, yeah, I take it back. Today, it seems that 2 weeks of bad weather fell out of the sky. Its been rainy, cold and all together yucky. I hate that weather has such a control over my attitude, but I was just really getting excited about how nice it has been. Oh well, rain is part of life, so I needs to get over it.

-I've also been feeling really crummy the past few days. Achy, feverish, and just tired. my whole body hurts, like I just worked out for 3 hours when I sure as heck haven't. This is quite possibly the most inconvenient time to get sick, besides maybe finals week. regardless, i feel gross and kinda wanna just sleep for the next 3 days. SO today I skipped a class, slept alot, and watched 2 movies with Court. Probably not the best decision or use of my time, but it was needed. And it was great getting to spend time with Court. I kinda really like her.

-I'm itching for adventure. I just don't feel like I am using all of my skills that the Lord has given me, by sitting in a classroom or and office working. I know that the Lord has called me to be a student in this season of my life, but I also know that he is calling me to something bigger and greater than I can currently imagine. And I really just want to know what it is. I thought for a few weeks that I was going to get to go to Thailand for a semester, but it turns out that I can't swing that and finish all the classes I need to graduate from Covenant in four years. Which is a bummer, but now I am just waiting for what the Lord will call me to. I have been praying that He would give me a heart for a people, for a ministry, not simply for a place. I feel like he has called me to long term ministry in Europe somewhere, but I don't want to just go because I like that place, I want to go because the Lord has laid on my heart those people and that culture. I don't know exactly where that is, or what I will even be doing, but I am excited and almost anxious for what he has in store. Sometimes, I'm real impatient.

-I want to be able to speak French fluently. I am taking my first year of it in college, but took a few years in high school. I wish I had stuck with it more dilligently and tried a little harder so that it was coming back to me more quickly right now. I love the language and really think it would be beneficial for me to know another language. Plus, as Nat says, it's real sexy sounding. Speaking of French I should go finish studying for a quiz...

-I need to be better about spending time in the Word. I feel hungry when I don't read the Scripture like I should, which is good, I should feel hungry for what the Lord says. I am just not very good at making it a priority to spend time with Him. I know I need it, so it's time that I put forth more effort. I can't and won't grow if I am not learning from Him.


I think that's it for today. Time to finish homework and then hit the hay. Tomorrow is another day.
