Sunday Night

It's another Sunday night. I like Sundays, especially when I do the sabbath thing. Today I spent some much needed good time with God. I also went to a couple jazz concerts, one with my wonderful fiance.
That one had quite a few people we know in it, which was pretty sweet. I like listening to jazz and watching them play but it makes me want to play too, kind of like watching soccer.

I also went to a life group to talk about missions. it was pretty good. we had an interesting discussion afterwards. it made me think about some things.

I think I am going to go read a little bit.

Sundays...by the way, Kassie and I are getting married on a Sunday...May 31. Sorry if you are finding that out from this blog and feel like you should have found out a different way.

Small wedding, just a few people.

Sleep

I am here, alive.

I don't really feel like writing but feel like I should for whatever reason.

Lately I have been making progress on my research project. I have noticed it is negatively correlated with the amount of sleep I get. (more progress=less sleep)

Today I am really tired and thinking that maybe the best way to be able to serve God would be to take a nap. I have stuff I would like to get done. I can be quite productive when I am tired, but I don't think I honor God as well. So, realizing which is more important, I should probably take a nap. I might have a meeting in about .5 hours though, so I might wait until after that.

God is good.

Really good.

All the time.

Forever.

Up in the Air

Fly away
like a dog
with pixie dust
and positive thoughts

Run home
like jack
playing baseball
With pirates

Never grow up
Like lost boys
Living in trees
Eating no food

I don't know
How this post
Ended up being
about Pan and Hook

Punch to the Face

I was going to title this post "The End" referring to being almost done with school, but then was thinking that what it is also about is a new beginning. Then I thought it is also about how the combination of those are hitting me in the face. So, I ended up with Punch to the Face, which I think might be a quote from Nacho Libre when Nacho is reprimanding the kids for wrestling to look good for Incarnacion when really he wants to be wrestling too.
Anyway, I feel like a lot of things are hitting me recently, like i need to fnish my senior research project, i need to figure out what I am doing with my life after college, am I going to be in Mount Pleasant, for how long, looking for an apartment
looking for a job
wedding plans
pre-marital counseling,
internship stuff
regular class stuff,
what should I eat,
sleep? (my roommate matt doesnt think I sleep but said I rejuvinate by making noises or something)(honestly, I do sleep, but maybe not as much as is generally advised, and I don't think I make that many noises)(okay, maybe I do make noises)
things God is teaching me
discerning between God's and my will
living in the Men's house
loving others,
basically, I am trying to make this list seem overwhelming because it is kind of overwhelming me, but I think in a good way that I am forced to rely on God and to live one step at a time and enjoy the journey. those are always good reminders.
these are basically the reasons I haven't posted recently. I haven't been on the internet as much lately as in the past.
I think I am going to go to the prayer room for a little bit. I love you all.

EDT

Estimated dinner time. Our dinners on monday nights are generally 6 30 but it's going to be a little late tonight due to some cooking complications. I don't cook tonight but I am assuming it will be late since it is already 6 31.

Mid term week. This week is pretty busy because it is the middle of the semester and the week before spring break.

I am excited for spring break. it will be nice to forget about all the stuff going on here and spend a week loving and serving God and others.

2 Peter 1:5-9 Think about it.

Drinking Flowers

Drinking flowers
That's what this tea is like
from a guy at English conversation hour
He said it is some of the best tea in China
I am excited to get to use my tea jar
I am not too picky about tea
I like this tea

U Cup

Sitting at the U Cup.

U Cup is short for University Cup.

The University Cup is short for coffee shop just off campus.

Just off campus is short for almost the corner of Franklin and Bellows, across Franklin from the SBX.

SBX stands for Student Book Exchange.

Exchange doesn't start with an X.

Back to the U Cup.

Never bought anything here.

Two things from here bought for me by others.

Pretending to get stuff done.

Apparently, this blog post is something I am getting done.

There is so much to do.

I am not really doing it.

Breaks are good.

Kassie called.

Going to hangout.

If this was an acrostic poem, it would spell SUT JSEBN'T PAT IBKG (spaces and apostrophe added at will).

SUT JSEBN'T PAT IBKG stands for "Each of you are one of God's beautiful creations."

Think about it.
