1) The glorious moment your professor tells you the 20 page paper that was suppose to be due in five days is now due in two weeks.
2) Was able to interview the franchise holder of Chick-fil-A. I reminded him that my boss and I called four years ago. They're late, but here so it's okay.
3) The next year of grad classes are planned. No more 12-hour semesters. Yes, I learned a valuable lesson - listen to your mom/dad/boss/girlfriend/friend/kat.
4) Leading worship this Sunday at Journey the Way. Kinda nervous and excited.
5) Reading "The Horse and His Boy" it's my favorite Chronicles of Narnia book.
6) Psalm 23
7) "'Pull over!' 'No, it's a cardigan, but thanks for noticing.'"
8) The next three weeks will be filled with fun! And by 'fun' of course I mean papers, projects, presentations, finals and the like...
9) When you laugh so hard you cry with your roommates. Good times.
10) Maybe it's true; that the thing you rail against and hate the most is the thing you're most prone to fall into. For me I hate the idea of a theology centered on man. Where God is forgone for feeling or emotionalism. When God is seen as a vending machine not as the terrifyingly majestic and gracious God he is.
Yet, it is true, I'm prone to fall into feeling and emotionalism when God should be centered on me and my wants. When the beginnings of my thoughts with God are not, "Be my Shepherd," but rather, "This is what I want, so provide it, now."
I hope you see the juxtaposition. While in my mind I serve the law of God, that of who he is as revealed in Scripture and in my heart I serve the law of my flesh. Romans 7 is being written again in my life by the actions and inactions of a heart and mind at war for the supremecy of Jesus in my life. So, like always, this verse must be the reigning peace over my heart, "O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God - through Jesus Christ our Lord."
