And I'm so glad that it was!

Last day of classes for a week.
Time to revise my story.
Rehearsal tonight and tomorrow.
Time to read the Watchmen and Hyperion.
Spending my days with family.
A chance to breathe and sleep in.
The holidays and giving thanks.

I have much to be thankful for! :D

... a bit better than the rest of the week days.

It's so uplifting to spend time with God and to see friends.
I also got to have lunch with my parents today.
I am really looking forward to this week.

For now, however, I'm going to spend time on my critiques and the reading that is due tomorrow... while watching Twilight. I need to get the spark back... and I don't have time to read it again. I hope this works... even a little! :D

May I just say that today...

Mmm... I have some marvelous editing and such to do Sunday.

Short school week coming up. Yay!

I was out all day.
I saw New Moon.
I'm not attached
to the characters
at all anymore,
so it was
less than exciting.
I'll just have to see it again.

do you want to go seaside?

Do you want to go to the seaside?, originally uploaded by becaboo.

I know that I do.

A peaceful trip to the ocean.
Time away from the mundane.
Any good friends want to join me?
I miss you and want to see you.
I love you all so much.

they like me... they really do

Okay, shoot away., originally uploaded by perkyNbLue.

I'm excited and frustrated at the same time, trying to edit this story that was peer-reviewed this morning. I thought I'd easily fix it tonight and move on to write the next thing I have on my mind. However, I have arrived at an impasse. I fix a few things, get annoyed by the wording, and rest for a bit. I'm still getting it done, just not very quickly. And I'm becoming more and more worried that I might not ever get to the next works. If I get to them, it will be awesome... and don't you forget it!!

He loves me, He loves me not

He Loves me, He Loves me not.

1 Corinthians 13: 4-7
Love
is
patient,
love
is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast,
it is not
proud. It is not rude,
it
is
not
self-seeking,
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record
of wrongs.
Love does not delight in the evil but
rejoices in the truth.
It always protects,
always trusts,
always hopes,
always
perseveres.


I know that He loves me.

been running around all day

I had breakfast with the wonderful Candace today.
I couldn't imagine a better way to spend a Sunday.
As for the week, it has been an awakening of sorts.
I'm thankful for the growth & gained self-awareness.
I look forward to the following weeks and months.

I also wrote up my budgets tonight,
determining how much I need to start making...
I guess I need to be a teacher after all.
*le sigh*

whos are in whoville tonight

Whos In Whoville, originally uploaded by gregeichelberger.

I wonder which wig I will be wearing... Yes, I will be a Who in Traditions. So will that entice more people to come and see me perform? I'd love to actually have friends come to see what I've been working on for months!

In order to get away from the computer, I will not be posting a very long blog today. I want to just get some reading done for class and spend time in the Bible. If I feel so inclined, I may come back and add a bit more, but don't count on it. :)

i watched my daddy cry tonight

His best friend died tonight.
All I could think to do was offer a hug.

I got locked in the warehouse after rehearsal.
I cried.

It's been a rough night for me.

I'm on a bit of a coffee high, thanks to Coffee Bean's holiday give-away today. I love it. I just went in and asked for a peppermint mocha coffee drink. Mm... The holidays.

I would love to begin tackling the topics I mentioned earlier this week, but honestly, they're irrelevant to me right now (minus the technology one, which I hope to write about at the end of the week). I don't feel sad, or lost, or broken, or confused. I feel... happy.

God has blessed me in incredible ways!!


Goodnight and amen. :)

ravings in a late night posting

TMA_5649, originally uploaded by fritz1948.

I am posting late, because I just got home from an amazing night of dancing. It's amazing how much more fun you can have when you're in a good place.

I spent my morning sleeping in, eating eggs for breakfast, and doing a bit of dishes. I took off around 10:50 to get my car fixed and what was supposed to be a 45 minute job, turned into four hours. But I didn't mind at all. Actually, I didn't even notice that it had been that long. I wasn't hungry because the eggs really held me over and I was busy correcting and commenting on two peer writings. Once I finished with those, I started reading the Watchmen, so I've read the first chapter. It was really great to get things done.

Once home, I said goodbye to my parents, who left for the evening, and did a few things on my computer before finishing up the dishes, doing laundry, and completing my statistics homework (which was an utter bear!). It feels so good to get it all done and tomorrow, I will concentrate on typing up the commentaries and the poetry review I went to last week, as well as study for Friday's stats quiz. I felt accomplished and ready for a reward, so I went out to the Firehouse.

I miss dancing and tonight was the perfect night to get back into it. Mind you, I was exhausted after staying in sick for two weeks, but I didn't hold back and the dances were fantastic! I want to get out as much as possible and I ought to do it now, before the show really starts to pick up!

. : .

As for God's stirrings in my life, today, as you can probably see, was a complete blessing. I stayed in high spirits. I was very productive. And I had plenty of time to spend with Him. Before my day started, I got up and read my Bible. Something that I read last night and again this morning was Luke 4, which tells the story of Jesus avoiding the Devil's temptations. It reminded me of all we have been talking about at church and in community group. Jesus was able to delay gratification in order to acquire a greater gift in return.

It's as simple as that.

Why don't you have sex? God says not to... No! God has something greater in mind for me and I don't want to miss out on that, if it ever presents itself. So, why aren't you out dating? Well, I want to... No! I am waiting for the person God has for me and feel no need to hurry the process by seeking him out.

It's not about what I want or how I feel right now. It's about the long-term effects of the decisions made now. That includes the intentions behind what it is that you choose. I have been making "right here, right now" decisions and I am taking necessary steps to reverse that!

Any thoughts, comments, recommendations? :]
