Something to Look Forward to

*Song(s) of the Day*- Pandora Radio: Type in "Piano", and the greatest contemporary piano music will play. It'll put you in a good mood, or put you to sleep (in a good way). I love listening to it when I'm studying or doing homework.

Just wanted to write a quick post. One, to make up for the slightly depressing posts I've put up recently, and Two, to say that I'm really excited about this weekend, because my momma is coming to visit!
She is flying down just to hang out, and I'm really excited to see her and just spend time with only her. She hasn't seen my apartment yet, and she's also going to come to my Jesus' Life and Ministry class on Thursday. Because one, I'm a dork who brings her mom to class, and two, it's an AWESOME class :)
Just wanted to share my excitement about the end of my week, and how it's motivating me to get a lot of work done. God has definitely given me a push to get things done :)

...Advice...?

I am really struggling with something. And honestly want feedback. I feel that I was hurt by someone in the past couple of months. And haven't talked to them about it. I've tried to just get over it, and move on. I pray about it constantly, but sometimes I continue to ask God "why?" I hate this. It seems to be hindering my relationship with God, and I don't know whether to call this person up and tell them how I've been feeling, and demand an explanation. Or to just continue to rest in it, and pray that I'll just get over it. I'm not bitter towards God, but I'm still hurt. I know it's normal, but I'm getting sick of it. Sometimes I get so angry about it though. Please help!!

A Memory...

Saturday, November 7, 2009

Boy it's been all this time
And I can't get you off my mind
And nobody knows it, but me
I stare at your photograph
Still sleep in the shirt you left
And nobody knows it but me

Everyday I wipe my tears away
So many nights I've prayed for you to say...

I should have been chasing you
I should have been trying to prove
That you were all that mattered to me
I should have said all the things
That I kept inside of me
Then maybe I could have made you believe
That what we had, was all we'd ever need

*Song of the Day* "All We'd Ever Need"- Lady Antebellum- I've been having this weird obsession with break-up songs, and this one is great. Don't ask why, but I LOVE break-up songs :)

Hey everyone! I know it's been a good week since I blogged. I guess I've felt that I haven't had anything too interesting to tell everyone. So I'll just start with the weekend.

Friday was great. I just worked, and then I went to Disneyland with my good friend Taylor. I've known him for over a year, and he's been a really great guy friend, we're basically Disneyland buddies, because he's usually the one I go with to Disneyland. The main reason for our adventure the night before Halloween, was because I had not been to Disneyland since they re-did Space Mountain for the Halloween festivities, and they had a new fireworks show for the occasion as well. Since it was such a crazy/busy night, we only had time to do those 2 things. Which I was fine with :).

Saturday was Halloween, which was really fun. I realized I'm not one to be really excited to "go out" or to a big gathering of people. I truly enjoy just hanging out with close friends and relaxing, or just doing something fun. Which is exactly what I did. Me, my roommate Kimi, and Taylor dressed ourselves in aluminum foil and went to Chipotle because they were giving away free food to whoever dressed like a "burrito". Which basically means, wear lots of foil. So that was fun. Then we came back to the apartment and watching the classic horror movie, "The Shining" with Jack Nicholsen. I've seen it 3 times, and I still love it. I hate scary movies, but this one is just tense, with that extra creepiness mixed in. It was a good Halloween movie.

Sunday was a typical laid back day. Attempted to get homework done, but didn't. It was nice :)

Then Monday came around, which was my interview at Yorba Linda Friends Church for a worship internship. And they gave me a position!! God is so good to answer prayer. It's really hard to be in that posotion where you "want" something, and you want to pray that God will say "yes". But then you want to pray, "Your will be done, Lord." The night before the interview I really struggled with letting it go, and giving my worries and nerves to God. I know it's normal to be nervous, but my roommate pointed out that night, that I was probably more nervous that if I didn't get the internship, I'd have to continue looking for one. Which is EXACTLY what I needed to give over to God, and trust him in. It was hard, and God is so gracious to take those worries away. But I know I am still learning to trust that His will is perfect, and not only that but He WILL take care of us. I don't have a lot of information on the internship yet, but I'll keep you posted. Hope everyone had a good and safe Halloween!

Blessings*
