"oh happy day...

...happy day! You washed my sin away!" -tim hughes

So here are a few snippets of my day to day life:

-walk past bryan clay.

-hold a 3 week old baby.

-eat half a cold baked potato for breakfast.

-hike a mountain at 8pm. wear a headlamp. pray for revival over our campus and city on that mountain. freeze in shorts. meet a kid named Bobby on that hill while praying. find out later he is a child actor and is in movies such as The Last Song. you know, no big deal.

-fall in love with garbanzo beans again.

-watch Finger of God and have my mind blown. you'll see, and this is only part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qi7atLDcVUg

granted these kinds of things don't all happen at once or even in one day. but they do in fact happen. and all of these happened within the past week. some may see life as boring and monotonous, but really you just have to find enjoyment in the little mundane things which happen every single day.

...a beautiful day in the neighborhood." -mr. rogers

Wow it's gorgeous today! This weather has been so strange. Though there is a special place in my heart for rain and clouds, the sun today just really brightened everything.

Since withdrawing from my global biblical interpretation class(which was great but causing unnecessary stress) I have been much more relieved. I feel more free to spend time with God and people.

Some quirky things happened in the past few days.

Saturday, I went to a 2 year old's bubble themes birthday party. A hired bubble lady put on a captivating bubble show and had children actually standing in giant bubbles. Crazy cool.

Sunday, I went to church and was chosen by the pastor to go to the front. Three other people and I practiced hearing God's voice and the encouragement of prophecy right there in front of the entire congregation. We were all to pray for this one lady none of us knew and gave her the words and images given to us by God. What we received for this woman was cohesive and relevant. Awesome. Only thing was, the pastor called me Rachel. haha

I got a call from him later that day apologizing. So sweet.

Sunday afternoon, Rachel(my roommate) and I were interviewed for an article in the school newspaper because we are participating in the Daniel Fast. 21 days, no sweets, no meats. Only veggies, fruit, whole grains, prayer, and the Holy Spirit.

Sunday evening, dressed in matching Christmas footy pajama onesie with my roommate we found in the kids section at target for a halloween get together. Then went to a meeting in our pj's. Then slept in my onesie.

Monday, I enjoyed some time in the library. Every now and then I like to go to the children's section and sit on the floor of the library and pick out a book, such as The Adventures of Curious George and flip through the pages. I was able to catch the veeeery end of the Giants winning the WORLD SERIES!!! Wow! It was such a fun moment! I got to spend it with my sister in the lobby of the freshmen boy dorm surrounded by silly SF fans. It was quite fun!

Then I spent some of my evening doing homework in the lobby of the girls dorm(muuuch quiter and not so smelly). Where there was a vending machine that suddenly sounded like an airplane about to takeoff.

So here I am reveling in the heartwarming mash up of moments in my last semester of college life. Attempting to mentally prepare for the blank calendar ahead of me. Although there isn't much yet, I know that goodness is in store.
