I watched p.s I love you tonight, it's the first movie i cried watching since.....star wars revenge of the sith. Ha ha...I am a nerd. Although it was sad in some parts, i really liked the over all general feel/message of the movie.
I wont go on about the movie, i wouldn't want to wreck it for all you who haven't seen it yet.
I wish i could pull the e-brake on life right now. It's going by sooo fast and it doesn't help that so many things are going on so many things to look forward to(breakforth is this weekend is just one of them!!!). Three more months and I am back in the bush again, which is going to be a heck of a lot harder to leave the city this year than it was last year.
I am about 75% sure that i am going to take a break from school next year.
I have a power point presentation to do for my soc 220 class and I have to fill the silence for a half an hour, hopefully maintaining the attention of my fellow class mates. My intervertness is telling me just to do the research paper instead; but I am forcing myself to do the class presentation instead and to tell you the truth, I want to share what I have to say...I remember back in high school, I hated reading out loud, my face got red, i stuttered when I got nervous, I liked to fade away. I got really intimidated by people so I never went up to introduce myself. So i immersed myself in sports.
Man i have changed a lot and hopefully I will continue to change as I grow more and more in Christ...
The funny thing tho, I would rather do a twenty page paper on anything pretaining to biblical studies then write a 5 page paper on the stuff that I am taking now. I mentioned before that I am close to getting a degree in biblical studies. I feel so ill prepared, I feel like I have so much still to learn....so not ready yet. I really miss having a mentor, i have been blessed in the past to have one, I guess it is something for me to pray about.
I have been listening to the band Red. I got their cd in april last year, a couple weeks before I headed out tree planting. I am actually listening to them now, i really like them, i recommend getting their cd.
I have been facsinated by the book of Ezekiel lately hence the valley of dry bones.
I should go to bed....

It's a new year
Its weird to think that I am done a semester of classes already and starting in to some new ones already. Where has the time gone by?
I had classes last week, i feel though I haven't switched gears into be a student again. I have class tomorrow morning at 8:30...bah....i signed up for that class in july when I was getting up at 5:30 each morning thinking that 830 class would be no problem, forgetting that I usually don't go to bed at a decent time during the school year...oh well :P
i wish i was done school. Seriously tho, i have been in school for five years already. I am wanting to be done, and right now, it is really hard to have the drive to do school when my heart is in so many different places. I am also a credit away from getting my degree in applied biblical studies from clbi, which i could of finished it off last year...maybe I should finish it off this year??? I am also at the stage of being able to apply as a social work qualifying student, but who knows, i might not go back to school next year, pray for me... i think the adventurous side of me I have been trying to keep latent is starting to create a restlessness in me.
But..I am learning how to manage my time. I have more classes than last year, working more hours than last year, I have more responsiblities this year, and I am trying to maintain good friendships with everybody. I think I work better understress and the classes that I have taken so far I have ejoyed....And I know the general direction that God is calling me to do, and to do it, I need to the schooling to help equip me to do it soooo...(back at square one..)
I was thinking about 1 peter 5:5 today. ...all of you clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God opposes the proud and gives grace to the humble...I was thinking about the fine line of false humility and true humility (which is, to my understaning, and from what I have been told, is: not relying on your own strength but Gods) And I was thinking about the importance of walking with eachother in true humility, being able to ask for help, allowing others to see your baggage. God definitly uses us help others... to be a friend... to listen.. be able to see the value of a person beyond their actions...when we are humble.
I think i am thinking about this because I am going to be starting to volunteer somewhere, somewhere I am going to have to be tested and totally transparent. So, again, if you are reading this, pray for me, pray that God will work in my heart to become humble, pray for wisdom for me, pray for patience, pray that God will send me His strength.
well,its late and I have to get up in a few hours and I have been listening to the same song on repeat for a while now.
I hope all of you are doing well, I am praying for you too!
