So many things have happened recently. I don't really feel like writing long entries because there are better things I can be doing (no offense to everyone). So here's a little overview of current events.
- I've been praying about going to Louisiana over thanksgiving. I don't know if I will go, but it would be… interesting.
- I think that I'm going to York next semester. Well, I'm almost positive. Now the question is how long will I stay for?
- I met a guy named Ben last night. He is from New Zealand. He's twenty years old and has been to 74 countries. How? Teaching. He had his BA when he was 17 and has been on the road since. Now he is working at Twin Peaks. He's my new hero.
- I played bass for devotions this morning. I'm not sure if they could handle it. I have has so many people tell me it was really good, or awesome, or funky, or something like that. I don't know, I was just worshipping God. I wasn't even thinking about what I was playing.
- I have turned into a good student. I'm already ahead on all my homework for all my classes. It's strange. Usually this is where students hit a slump. Maybe it's just more evidence of God's work in my life…
- I have realized that I don't play in front of people half as much as everyone else who plays an instrument, even though I'm twice as good as most of them. This is probably due to any number of reasons including, but not limited to, 1) I would be so proud that I would be useless to God or 2) I'm not nearly as pushy as them. I tend to think it's mostly 2 with a dash of 1. Maybe that's just my pride speaking though…
- I realized that I don't have any friends. I mean of course I do, but not like back home. I just don't get close to people quick so I'm really a loner out here, and there are so many people worth knowing that I don't have time to know everyone as well as I want. But being a loner does make me spend a lot of time with God… and homework
- I have a strange feeling that I am either going to excel at Bible College over the next 2 years or get the boot. I suppose only time will tell.
- I think I got saved again on Genesis today. I could probably write 5 pages on what happened today. I suppose I will just summarize it by saying I was poured out. See 1 Chronicles 11:18 and 2 Timothy 4:6.
- I still want to get up and leave.
- I have decided that if I had one super power I would be able to gain all the knowledge from a book simply by touching it. But it wouldn't work on the Bible because God wouldn't be down with that.
- I have been getting condemned by other students recently. Just on little things like Harry Potter, champaign ice cream, starving kids in other countries, Starbucks, my view on relationships (that to be expected though), and how I pray before meals. I may come out or college with a pretty awesome list of things Christians waste their time on.
- I never realized how much of a sweet tooth I had until I came here and had to buy my own candy and ice cream. ^_^
- I really like God. I mean it. I simply enjoy spending time with my Savior.
Now I'm going to go find Amanda (different Amanda) and get some icecream with her and someone else. I won't even try to spell the other girls name. It's pernounced eye-za.
