iii loooooveee egggg sallaaaaadddddd

week one - done!

there is much to be done, even still. meetings, practices, planning, classes, papers, homework, friends, singing. instead of bracing myself this time, though, i've decided to take a different mental approach.

go after it.

each and every one of those things, i am trying to attack with abandon. give it not only sweat, blood, and tears, but heart. people are reluctant to give their hearts because, if they get hurt, it takes the longest to heal from. well i say, TALLY-HO! i go after you details of my last semester!

in other news, my powerbook G4 via '05 is on it's last leg of life.

time to budget the monies.

i was reading today about the value of just taking time in the Lord's presence before going about your duties and lists of to-do's. i am horrible at this. the Lord knows that about me, and the funny thing is, when i do take that time to just rest before trudging through the deeper waters of daily life, he makes those few moments with him that much sweeter. you'd think that time would make you more anxious or stressed out because of the time you're "wasting". so wrong. when we actively seek to spend time with the Lord, surrendering to Him all the details and giving him full control over what we can't control (but always try to), He blesses. my God is so good.

it also said "get rid of the needless activities in your life that drain your energy."

it's really interesting to mull over that, and to see how many things i think are important, how many things i do every day,

things i think are fun and worthwhile

are really needless. and drain so much energy.




okay, time to get ready for the music on the mountaintop gig (with Mike) i have to sing a new solo. so nerbous. wait. no.

TALLY-HO!
