in news unrelated to anything else:
- I just watched a girl walk confidently into the men's restroom in the library. She promptly turned around and sheepishly walked out. :)
- I need a camera because this blog would benefit greatly from some pictures.
- The "word verification" step you have to take to post a comment baffles me. They aren't even real words! What am I verifying?!
- I'm thankful that my friends are more consistent bloggers than I have turned out to be. Hopefully this summer I will be better.
- I love shoes from GAP. I also love buying shoes. It's a good combo.
Real news--in order of importance--from least to greatest: (I'll use bullets for this too. Why not?)
- I am ready for school to be over, but I am not ready for summer. I would like a nap first. I'm really excited about interning at First Baptist Atlanta with Maclane, Parker, and the rest of the wonderful staff this summer, but I do wish I had a small break. As things are, my last final is May 12th at 8am...and my first day in the office in Atlanta is May 13th. This means I have to pack in the midst of finals, and move to Atlanta on Tuesday afternoon(hopefully during a period of less traffic...).
- Speaking of school, I have so much going on in the next two weeks. Tomorrow: Abnormal Psychology presentation, Review of "Contemplative Thought and Practice" articles due, Lifespan Development "Mini-Exam #3" due... Thursday: field trip to a Labyrinth, Belmont Undergraduate Research Symposium (BURS) presentation at 8:45pm... Friday: YELLOW ROSE BALL! YAY!... Saturday: work, Sycamore's Band Banquet, Kevin's "Summer's Here" party... Sunday: church, AST Alum Inductions, AST Business Meeting... Monday: Life of Christ Presentation, last Monday at J's... May 5: last day of classes... May 6: Dead Day aka pack up my life day... May 7: Lifespan Development Final, Life of Christ Final Paper Due, last real day of work at J's... May 8: History and Systems of Psychology Final, Abnormal Psychology Final, BGM Fundraiser... May 9: Nick's Graduation Party, Alayna's Prom... May 10: Mother's Day, Last Sunday at Two Rivers, last day at J's... May 11th: finish packing up my life day... May 12th: Contemplative Thought and Practice Final, drive to Atlanta... GEEZ LOUISE!! In the midst of all of this, I should probably study...
This part is too important for a bullet...
Here I am. Convicted, yet again. This time by a sticker. haha. Yesterday, my mom had these Bible verse stickers for her 5 year old Sunday School class. Autumn and I, of course, put them on. The ones we chose said "I cannot stop talking about Jesus. Acts 4:20". My friend, Brian, made the comment that we shouldn't have to wear stickers for people to know that. How true! The actual verse says (starting in verse 13...) is:
"Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus. But seeing the man who was healed standing beside them, they had nothing to say in opposition. But when they had commanded them to leave the council, they conferred with one another, saying, "What shall we do with these men? For that a notable sign has been performed through them is evident to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. But in order that it may be spread no further among the people, let us warn them to speak no more to anyone in this name." So they called them and charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge, for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard."
Why? Why? Why? are we so ignorant? We don't need stickers. We have voices and lives. What is wrong with us? What is wrong with me? I'm sorry, Lord, that I have somehow found a way to keep silent. Let it last no longer!
Love to all who read. :)
i love you.
ReplyDeletewhat a busy life you lead, girl! :)
1. I, too, love GAP shoes. Most recent shoe purchase: their thong sandals with the metallic flowers!
ReplyDelete2. In order to get a break from your busy life you should come visit me this summer! I do believe I sent you an email with great fares from Frontier. :-)
3. Thank you for sharing your heart and the scripture from Acts. I love ya.
Because I don't know the html code for bullets I will have to use numbers.
ReplyDelete1. I did not know that GAP sold shoes. How could I have missed such a thing?
2. I once walked confidently into a men's bathroom too. In front of an exbf. It was a proud moment.
3. I wish you could take a nap too. I'm sorry that you can't.
4. When does school get out in Atlanta?
4b. Speaking of Atlanta, I hope that I will be able to see you. Well, I hope that I will be able to come and then of course I will see you.
4c. I want to take Cody to a braves game (since this is our "paper anniversay" maybe that can be my gift to him...I hope he doesn't read your blog.)...would you want to come with us? I feel like I would get bored before its over and I'm sure we could find something to entertain ourselves.
5. I'm ceasing the "bullets" now because you did.
Thank you for this reminder. I needed this. I am sad about my own silence as well. I love you. (brian edit)
