History, Spanish, and Lady Grey

So here I am, sipping my lady gray and trying to get finished with my spanish homework. Sometimes I wish life would slow down, but then I look at the last couple of years, and realize that it will never slow down. "We stop, we die"

I have my history mid-term in the morning. I think I am ready, but that scares me. I'm praying that the studying that I have done will cause me to be ready for this exam. I'm doing pretty well in this class, so I think that I will be okay if I don't get a perfect score on this exam.

Our life is about truth, not emotions or feelings. We praise God, not because we are feeling particularly thankful at the moment, but because the truth is that He deserves to be praised, so we praise Him.

I have found such a freedom in Christ in the last few days. I have lived my life in guilt over every little thing, and I have always felt that I had to be "fixed" before I could serve the Lord. However, He desires us to come to Him NOW, just as we are.

"Abide in Christ" is a good book, it's a good command as well.

I don't have to work tomorrow, this makes me happy. The reason I don't work tomorrow is because I have an advising appointment. I am taking Poetry Writing next semester, I'm pretty thrilled about that. I am also taking British Lit, Earth Science, and a couple of other classes.

God is good!!!!

I miss my dear friend Kimberly.

We shall see where things go from here...
