Question.

Have you ever eaten a whole eggplant in one sitting?

I have. Oh, the things I accomplish at 11pm.

(THIS PICTURE CRACKS ME UP. & even more so because Blogger uploaded it UPSIDE DOWN.)

So I just realized that I've been writing one post a month. What is that?! Hardly an update, that's what it is. I just don't blog as often, but I suppose since school's back in session, I'll have more to say & more time to say it! I know that doesn't make much sense because now I'll be busy studying, but I promise I'm more productive when there's structure to my schedule. That's good to realize, not because I know when I'm most productive, but because I'm aware of my terrible self-discipline in seasons of idleness. Sigh. Pros & cons, I guess. REPENTANCE, lehgo.

Oh yeah...

I.

Like.

School.

It's this unusually high level of likeness that rarely correlates with school. Not exactly too much for it to be "love" because I know in a few weeks, I won't like it very much. I like it as of now, though... perhaps a lot more than I should. OH WELL. God has been so gracious! From giving me the opportunity to go to a university to keeping me safe as I drive on the freeway (I'm a total noobie after 3+ years of driving) to getting me the classes I need (& want, too) to everything concerning financial aid (GRANTS ARE INCREDIBLE) and just in every aspect of my life! I was praying this morning out of thanksgiving 'cause seriously, I don't deserve any of it. Everything is so wonderful!

But then I look at it another way & think, "okay so what happens when God decides to take it all away?" Oh man. & I'm not even gonna limit this to school. Everything I consider to be "good" in my life... if that were gone, would I truly be finding my joy in Christ?

BETTER BE!

This morning I was reading about a couple who lost 6 of their 9 children (9!! o_o) in a car accident... & they just submitted to God's will & continued to praise & proclaim that God is good. Incredible.

Man, I can't wait to see my Savior & just praise Him forever, hahahha. (Not to say that I'm praying for the Lord to take me anytime soon LOL just to clarify!) (Oh, although if it's His will then... well, there ya go.)

Okay, this post went from an eggplant to basically death-- or rather, life in Christ! Holla! Gonna close this post with a few bullet points 'cause I like 'em so much:

• I made friends! :)
• It's confirmed. I really like biology. Currently enjoying my Biology of Human Communication class.
• I don't like it when we watch clips of horror films in my Film Music class. We all jumped in our seats, ahahahha. Music matters. That's for sure.
• Please pray for Micah as he starts his studies at The Master's Seminary! :) He started today & seriously, it was such a joy to hear about his first day there. He's fast asleep now.. Our schedules are different! We're gonna be such busybees but at different times, haha. Finally got to spend time with him yesterday & something so simple such as school supply shopping (WHOA HELLO ALLITERATION HAHAHAH) was a total blessing! Wonder what it's gonna be like after a longer period of time when we're busier.. HMmmm praying for the Lord's sustenance & grace. :)
• Study Bibles are so nifty.
• "I trust in Your love everlasting, I cling to Your unfailing grace. In seasons of sorrow & blessing, I give You my pain & my praise. Your undying mercy awaits..." --"Mercy Awaits" by Enfield. Song's growing on me.
• Ate Liz, I know you're reading this & let me say that.. your family is so awesome! I'm pretty sure I went through all of your latest pictures & "aww"-ed my way through everything.
• Happy birthday Leigh Ann! :) I know you're reading this too! HAHah it's midnight now so this counts. You're such a sweet sista in Christ! <3

My posts are so casual these days.

It's midnight. I'm gonna sleep.
