Friday, April 15

Have I mentioned a few of the things I really, really, really like recently?

Mozilla Firefox: I jumped on the bandwagon a little late perhaps, but never has my computer been happier than it is now, with less of everything bad and loads of everything good.

Class Schedules: Autumn is my favorite time of the year and nothing makes Autumn better than the fall semester of school. I love picking out which classes I want to take.

My five year old leather flip-flops: Alas, five years is a few too many, though, and I fear that this year may be their last.

Our campus Bible study: I confess, this one was hard for me; but it's been so good recently. I love these girls; I love meeting with them and I love delving headfirst into all the things which make Christian living difficult, exciting, radical, and painstakingly daily.

The fact that there are only three [Count 'em: April 29th, May 6th, & May 13th] exams left for my philosophy class: I vote that
Sophie's World be the text for any further classes -- it's much more palatable than the sixty five pages of notes I've taken and memorized this semester.

The Lord: Perhaps this ought to have been first on the list, but it isn't. I like lists which count backward, but who's counting anyway? I love the Lord.

There are seasons where questions seem to be my mantras of choice and answers appear to be the lot of everyone else but me: Like Jonah. There are times when I'm on my face for hours, days, weeks, months begging for a word from the Lord and the words I hear repeated over and over again are simply
not the words I want to hear: Like Elijah. There are things I want so desperately that I'm afraid I wouldn't be willing to give them back should the Lord decide to grace me with them: Like Hannah.

And then there are seasons where I trust that the Lord is good and that alone covers my inadequacies and insufficiencies; where He condescends to hear my anxious cry and my still speaking voice and He says, Hey, who's your God?

Yeah, that's what I thought.

For goodness sakes! How often do you have exams?!

heh, yeah. he dictates about six pages a week of notes for us to memorize and then gives us an exam every Friday. i'm a tutor for the class and they said the normal tutoring session is about three people once a week -- mine is nine plus three times a week. he's wicked hard.
