On the Brink

It has been a crazy week... like my best friend said.... my life is a sitcom.

This week so far has been awesome and challenging. Mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. I've been able to get up and go to the gym every morning, do my devotions, and then spend the day at the lake reading and swimming. Idyllic right? Some things happened today that made me realize... I'm standing on the brink... on the brink of something new. Something awesome. Something that I cannot even imagine.

What it is?

I have no clue.


This morning I was getting ready for my devotions, and the daily Bible verse that came to my phone was good, but for some reason I flipped to the book of Revelation. Why, I have no earthly idea. But God knew. This passage made me think about my future.

I know your deeds, that you have a name

that you are alive, but you are dead. 

Wake up and strengthen the things that remain, 

which are about to die; 

for I have not found your deeds completed

 in the sight of God. 

Revelation 3:1-2

I am not fully living yet, because I'm still working on doing His will. I know I'm on the right track, and in the right place, and finally I'm on HIS timetable instead of mine. In the last two weeks, God changed my entire plan, and I am now back to graduating in May of 2013 like I was originally supposed to. I had been praying for a cut and dry answer as to what I should do, and He answered. 

I'm so excited to see what my future is going to hold. Who is going to be in it, and where I will end up this time next year. Maybe I'll revisit this blog post and see what God has done in that time. He isn't finished with me yet. This summer with the children's ministry, I cannot wait to see how He is going to use me and work through me. 

I'm the Youngest I'll Ever Be and the Oldest I've Ever Been

Today is my birthday...

It is now 2:10am and I can't sleep, which isn't the greatest thing in the world because I have to be up for class in less than four hours. This insomnia might have something to do with the 5 cups of extra strength coffee I had... after 9:30pm.... just maybe. I think I'm addicted to coffee.

Today I added a new folder to my documents tab... SENIOR YEAR. 

I'm taking a summer class... and I'm officially a senior now, even though I've had senior status since 1st semester sophomore year. How? I have no clue. For four hours last night I worked on my genetics project for one of my nursing classes. I'm taking an entire semester's worth of one class... in 5 days. Crazy right? Anyways, its the second time I've done a Pedigree project, but the first time I hand drew it. This time we were required to make it online. Talk about a headache. Four hours later, I finally finished the dumb thing... and this is only page 1/4 of the assignment. There's a 2 page chart that I didn't bother to take a picture of.

This picture isn't centered... and its going to bug the bejeebies out of me. 

So far I've gotten some pretty cool birthday presents and messages. My mom sent me one at midnight saying "Dappy Hirth Bay." I love my Mom. 

In the present department, I got an awesome Ted Dekker book called THR3E. Although I wouldn't recommend reading it when you're alone at your creepy apartment for 3 days straight. I got a knife, a new coffee mug that was specially made for me, writing paper, pens, coffee, envelopes and stamps. 

My little brother called me today and asked what I got him for Mother's Day. And in a tribute to my Mom... I've seriously got the best Mom in the world. She is my hero, one of the strongest women I've ever known, and a Godly woman I strive to be like. 

I decided to look at my blog stats today... in the past 14 days... 80 people from Russia viewed my blog... 80 people from the US viewed my blog... and 1 person from Alaska as well. How cool is it that people around the world are (hopefully) being impacted by my random musings. My God is AWESOME. 

It is now 2:35am. If i'm lucky, I can get about 3.5 hours of sleep before my 8.5 hour class starts. Can I please just go curl up in a hole and sleep the next week away? Anyone want to join me in this short-term hibernation?




In closing for this random post... I will leave you with my daily Bible verse that came on my phone just now. Yea, they decide to send it at 2am every morning.
