Listening to: Counting Crows. [August and Everything After, Live.]
Today–it was good. I didn’t have a class until 3:30-so I slept in til like 11. Woah, it was a little too late cause I felt sleepy almost all day 
My spanish class(the 3:30 one) is ridiculous. The teacher has a crazy accent because she is from Panama, and it’s just crazy. She randomly yells things, really loudly. Like hoy-today-she yelled the word “aquella” so loudly. I mean, it makes me pay attention, haha.
The girlfriends went to the Wesley tonight, it was like freshmen/transfer night, so that was good. Met some people.
Things have really been looking up lately with Him. Reading a book by Henri Nouwen(who is absolutely amazing. Recommend him for sure) called “Life of the Beloved” it’s amazing. Talks about when Jesus was baptized and He became the Beloved and God’s favor was on Him–and how that is like us. God’s favor is on us. Our names are engraved on His palms. Here–let me actually quote this paragraph for you..
“I have called you by name, from the very beginning. You are mine and I am yours. You are my Beloved, on you my favor rests. I have carved you in the palms of my hands and hidden you in the shadow of my embrace. I look at you with infinite tenderness and care for you with a care more intimate than that of a mother for her child. I have counted every hair on your head and guided you at every step. Where you go, I go with you, and where you rest, I keep watch. I will give you food that will satisfy all your hunger and drink that will quench all your thirst. I will not hide my face from you. You know me as your own and I know you as my own. You belong to me. I am your father, your mother, you brother, your sister, your lover, and your spouse..yes, even your child..wherever you are I will be. Nothing will ever separate us. We are one.”
So good. There is so much more to that book though. Check it out.
P.S. Starkville has the worst commercials ever. And by worst I mean: the cheesiest and most ridiculous. When you watch them you think “why?”. It’s hilarious sometimes.
Ash and I planned out our training for the half marathon in December. It’s in Memphis..if anyone cares to run it also–should be fun. It’s for or sponsored by St. Jude. I am so excited
I need discipline. To study for school. To actually study. At least look over the notes every night. It’s really easy to forget about homework here because most of my homework is on the computer, and I am not used to that. So I have to remember to go to that web site and actually do it.
I wish I was better at spanish.
I want to be “fluent” in sign language. If you know someone that could teach me..let me know.
I love you.
You are cherished by a King.
So…still training for the Half, huh? Ashley too?
I said I was going to like a month ago, and ran like 3 times since then. Do you think it’s still early enough to get in my training. Like going from “running 3 times a month” to “running 13.1 miles at a time.” Course, I might walk some of that.
There’s a training system that encourages walk breaks. But my pride hates those. “Walk schmalk!” it says.
Are those commercials on WCBI?
