I started this thinga-muh-jig for a class, but I love writing.. (Rambling).. So I figured hey! I could continue to blog about my super uneventful life. WOO.
I've actually had a wonderful summer. :) I spent two weeks with my Harding roomie. She got me on my very first airplane! Then, as soon as I flew into Pittsburgh...she surprised me with a trip to Washington DC! We had tons of adventures: getting chased in Bethesda, Maryland...riding segways, and getting lost in Chinatown. I'm super blessed to have Krysten in my life.
Ever since then, my days have been filled with cafe' shifts,and spending time with my best friends. I don't recall any sleeping happening this summer though. Sleep isn't on my list of things to-do. And I am a stickler when it comes to my to-do lists.
A few days ago, my dear friend Mercedes got married. We would always talk about falling in love with the boy who would love the Lord first, and love us second. We wanted things that way. And she found him. Oh, what a beautiful wedding! Love is crazy. Of course my mind spins through the entire wedding.
Love is something you can't sit away from. It's enough to fill you. Dangerous enough to change you. Expectations that can swallow you whole. A bench in the middle of life's roars. The real kind anyway. A lot of my friends think they're in love, but I believe that most of them have no clue. God has a plan for us all -- Jeremiah 29:11. All relationships should be built on him. If it doesn't start out that way, then you're more than likely in trouble from the get-go. I'm really naive though. I've got a lot to learn.
Anyway, I'm sick of this summer business. It's like 1,000,000 degrees in this Arkansas heat. I also have been Harding-sick. My friends are really far away from me. Harding has been such a blessing to me. So many encouraging people. And did I mention my club -- Regina? Love those girls. I'm tired of going to church alone. I never knew how sad that was. It makes me miss too many services, and that is the stupidest excuse ever. Harding is filled with people who struggle -- just like I do. Struggle every second to pick up our crosses and follow Him. I'm far from perfect. Making stupid decisions is what I'm best at. But I want to get better. Every day should be about improving, right? Right. That's what I'm aiming for. Seeking Him -- more. Harding blessed me with friends that understand that. I can't wait for classes to begin..even if I will be at another school. I'll be back at Harding in a short period of time.
I believe I've rambled enough for now. :) Time to go pretend I'm good at guitar or making a midnight trip to somewhere that's pointless. Love!
