Just Because....

This post has nothing to do with much of anything, except kill some time while waiting for my plane and recalling some funny memories from the past few years. They are not in chronological order. Enjoy!

My then-friend (now roommate) and I were out taking pictures for a photography class. A power company truck drove by, and the guy riding shotgun leaned out the window and yelled "CHEESE!" If only one of us had thought fast enough to whip around and take his picture....

My roommate freshman year and I decided to go running at the gym on Easter Sunday night. Well, the gym was closed (which we discovered only after walking over there in the pouring rain), so we ran through the halls, and then did the ultimate four minute workout found on YouTube (of which we could only do about two minutes of before our muscles gave out).

Cori had a head of lettuce left over from a dinner, and, being cheap college students, we went to Harp's to return it. The manager thought we were a little strange, and we gave an admissions counselor his laugh for the night. What a college student won't do for $1.50.

Flying back to school after last Christmas, the weather in the south was crazy. I was stuck in Tennessee for 9 hours, and then spent the night in the airport in Arkansas. One of the guys who was also waiting for the flight was an Air Force Captain headed back to the base. He and I and another lady we were sitting close to each other, and just randomly talked about random stuff. When we landed at our final destination, no taxis were running. He asked me if I needed a ride "back out to the base." I said no, I was headed to my aunt's house. He said "oh, but aren't you going back out there eventually?" My dreams had come true. Someone thought I was in the military. Score one for me.

Freshman year, a guy was holding the door for me at the caf. I stepped on his foot. Oops.

Then there was the pineapple. We were putting up a palm tree for Christmas hall decorations, and I said, "Oh, we should hang a pineapple from it." Everyone just looked at me for a few minutes, then laughed at me for the next hour. Pineapples don't grow upside down on trees, people. They grow upright in a bush. Let's just say that horticulture is not my strong suit.

To be continued at a later date.

The Still, Small Voice

Like any good human, I'm waiting for the earthquake that determines my next move in life. I'm waiting for the hurricane, or the volcano, or the atomic bomb. Something obvious that will tell me what to do. You're not being faithful in the little things. I was driving down the road on my way to work, whining to God about why I had to be doing this, why I couldn't move somewhere new, do something new, try something exciting. Then came the still small voice. You're not being faithful in the little things. And it was gone. It wasn't the flowery message we so often pass around of God has great things for you, just wait, it will come, it will be better than you could imagine... It was you're not being faithful . Ouch. Words never sting so much as when you know, no question, they're true. The time I waste. The half-hearted job I do on certain tasks. The avoiding of certain people. The fact I'm sitting here flipping between Facebook and ty...

The Thing I Hate About School

It's consuming. Here we are, last day of classes with four days of finals to go, and I'm consumed with homework. I have no time for people. I HATE IT!!! I like people. I like being with people, doing things with people, talking with people, and sharing real life with people. When I'm spending hours on homework, people have to get skipped. You want to do something with me? Well, I have an opening between 4:37 and 4:52. Would that work for you? No? Ok, how about three weeks from next Tuesday at 12:57? Oh, you have class then? Well, you'll have to go on my waiting list. If a Marketing Plan cancels, I'll let you know. That's basically been my whole semester. As frustrating as it has been, I've learned from it. Not necessarily applied what I've learned, but I have learned. A family friend who works for Campus Crusade in Florida says it well in one of his blog posts: "Everybody has 168 hours each week... The schedule is in your hands. How will you use yo...

A Lamp to My Feet

"I'm so thankful for the Word of God that continues to, day by day, guide my steps and give me just enough light for the step I'm on." -Abby Hickey of Little Birdie Blessings I'm so thankful for my friend Abby and her encouragement. She has consistently texted me a scripture verse at least 4 times a week since last October. I can't begin to count the times when the verse she has sent has been exactly what I needed at the exact moment I needed it.  The day I was annoyed with EVERYONE on the road and EVERYONE that called in to work: "Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, and patience." Colossians 3:12b The day I was agonizing over decisions affecting the future: "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans." Proverbs 16:3 The day I was going have a second interview and would possibly have to make a decision and I had no idea what way to go: "Whether you turn to the right or th...
