Yeah, that passage.

I went to Bible Study tonight planning to leave early to study for a quiz and exam I have tomorrow. When I got there, we started going over the passage where God tells us not to worry, but to seek first His kingdom and He'll provide everything else. GG. So I stayed for the rest of small group.

And guess what?! I finished studying before midnight even though I stayed longer for small group. YAY thanks God :)

Fall Break 4.0

This was the best Fall Break of my four years here at Washu, hands down.

- Apple Picking at Eckerts Farm
- Drunken Fish Happy Hour
- City Musuem
- Pho @ Mai Lee's
- Boot shopping @ the Galleria
- Watching Pacman friends run the Halloween 10K in <1 hr
- Clayton Coffeehouse and Creperie

AND it was productive studying-wise. What a great Fall Break.

Oh, and did I mention that the weather was PERFECT? Yes, God is good.

Thinking

The way you think determines the way you feel, and the way you feel influences the way you act.

Repentance in Greek literally means to change your mind.

Poor

If time were money, I'd be facing the Great Depression right now. My disposable time is running low...

Scavenger Hunt

The Holy Spirit is crazy!

56. White squares. Heels against pavement. Who would've thought...

Twenty-two?

22. It's a palindrome. It's also a reminder of how old I am.

I've decided, 22 is the first legit year of being old. Twenty-one says I-just-became-legal-so-I-am-still-kind-of-a-youngin'. Twenty-two is when adulthood is set in stone.

This birthday has been particularly great. It was the simple things like trying new restaurants, having deep one-on-ones, and playing sardines that I really enjoyed. I love spending time with my RA staff and also with ACF. And I finally got a Camelbak Nalgene water bottle from some residents. I will die of dehydration no more!

One random cool thing I learned in the past week from talking to my Jewish friend observing Rosh Hashana: the word "Holiday" is derived from Holy Day. I have to admit, I've lost reverence for many holidays and tend to enjoy holidays for my own selfish desires. One great example is 9/11. Though 9/11 technically isn't a holiday, I had completely forgotten about what happened this day in history because I have become so self absorbed with my birthday celebrations. Hrm, no good.

I need to get back to the heart of things. Let's start with... God, thank You for my birthday not because of the attention or gifts that I receive, but because You have graciously given me another year to live. Thank You for the lessons You've taught me, and thank You for where You've brought me these past 22 years. Today is not a celebration of what I've done but of what You've done in and through me. Praise Jesus.
