The Blah-gging Mood

I'm in a Media/Technology class this year-- it's part of my education degree. One of my assignments has been to create a blog, and it has sparked a new excitement for blogging in these bones. I've spent the past hour or so browsing the internet for new blog templates... it's addicting. And I don't like it. Except that I do... oh so very much. :)

Anyway. Prepare for this post to be simple and to-the-point. My eloquence is lacking tonight!

Some things about life in Freddy 458...

- What's Freddy 458? Oh, yeah. It's my dorm room. Yep. I moved back into the dorms. Chrissy and I felt the Lord leading us here to live among freshmen girls and minister/be Jesus to them. It's not at all where I expected to find myself at this point in my college career (location-wise), but it's a beautiful place to be, I have found. And despite the lies the enemy tries to feed me daily, it is making a difference. I'm loving it.

- Becoming more okay with a simple life after college. Those dreams of going abroad and living in the slums and teaching English to impoverished children are not gone-- but I'm becoming more okay with that story being someone else's, not mine. I'm okay with serving the Lord by being a plane jane high school English teacher. Nothing is at all set in stone for me (the future is just as wide and gaping as it ever was), but my heart has been softened toward this possibility. We'll just have to wait and see what He's got planned. :)

- Along with that ^, going on staff with Campus Crusade (for at least a year or two) is becoming more of a possible reality as well. That's kind of exciting, eh?

- I'm learning a lot about how distorted my view of the Lord is. Hard, but so so good. :)

- Kyle has managed to get stitches in both his hands (to repair injuries from two totally separate incidences) since the beginning of the semester. He's a little bit accident-prone. But he's still wonderful-- an instrument of the Lord to me daily for encouragement, peace, and compassion, etc. etc. etc... We've been dating for almost 10 months now! Praise Jesus for this beautiful blessing.

- I actually try to read for my classes this year. It makes school a heck of a lot easier. Imagine that! :)

- My love for coffee/coffee shops is continuously growing. I think that's... great. :)

- I miss having a kitchen, but I like that I have so many friends who live off campus who generously let me borrow theirs when I need to. :)

- There are probably a tonnnn of things that have happened that I'm forgetting. And this is something I've learned about myself-- just because I forget about it, doesn't mean it wasn't important. I just forget a lot of things... often.


Until I'm inspired again,
