I hate to say it

but I'm tired of the beach.
I've only been here for 1 day.
I don't like sand.
It's pretty to look at though.

and it continues

so here is what happened in my day since I wrote the last blog at 3:00....what a day indeed

walk 2 miles back to my car

thought parking under a tree in the shade was a good idea... until every single little berry thing made it from the the tree to my car and even through the crack i left in the window so my car wouldn't bake... seeing as how the high was like 98 today

get in my car... get hit by a dude in a big black truck

get out... he says sorry.... no damage.... moving on

meet a homeless man in the park... asks me if I'm a scorpio

Asks me to take his picture....okay

total number of wrecks I almost had on the way home (i'm talking less than 6 inches away from my car)... 5

all in all it was a good day... honest.

Can't let the little things get to you

It'd be a rough life if you did

 

what a day

Alarm malfunction
Shampooed my hair twice... thought it was the conditioner
Hooray for cereal for breakfast.... no milk
Look for parking... wasp flies in car window
Parking? yeah 2 miles away from my building
Half way to my building... forgot something in the car...
Back to the car... 2 miles to go
Cranberry Scone... I get a blueberry one...I don't mind
Guys cell phone rings in class... he answers... in class... really?
History class (which attendance is optional but i thought well I should go learn something)... already seen the movie
Get in the elevator at Juan's apt... dog pee
Elevator doors shut... elevator will not move
Panic
Stairs... 4th floor
back to class... Egyptian documentary... joy

I'm looking forward to the rest of the day. In spite of it all I've had a good day... glad that joy isn't based on circumstances.

in his joy

"The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field."

This verse has come up in my life a lot the past couple of days.... not sure why...God is speaking. I will listen.

One thing I do know is that we could all use a little bit more joy over the gospel.

Holy Holy are You Lord God Almighty
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb

Bustage

Today I had the privileged of witnessing 3... yes 3 people completely wipe out in the hallway today. Much to our dismay Hurricane Fay has given us two nasty days of well...rain, rain and oh rain. The result? a lovely puddle in the middle of Heritage Hall. Consequence= bustage.
Not me however. Thanks to these:



Salomons. Best purchase ever. No busting for me!

My Brightness

So blogs will be more frequent these days since I am now in class from 11-315 straight on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Charlie Hall released his new album last Tuesday "The Birght Sadness"
Go get it.
It is awesome.

My Brightness (track 4) is my favorite.
Here are the lyrics.
Enjoy.

well, i've been hit from every corner. i've been thrown from side to side

and i'm cracked up on the inside so i come to You for life

your presence always heals me, so i want to drink it in

and you know where i am going, God, you know where i've been

and your love is like a rock when i'm spinning

your love is like a rock when i'm spinning

your love is like a rock when i'm spinning around

yesterday i felt so angry, and today i'm insecure

and i hate it that i wrestle with the God that i adore

i know less about you but my heart loves you so much more

you're the bright in my sadness. you're my brightness.

i wish this thing could pass from me, but i'm wanting what you want.

so bring me high or bring me low, just hold me in your love.

The Sacred Monkies of Bali

That is the name of the text book for the class I am in right now. There is no attendance taken either. Catch my drift.
