So, I'll do Proverbs 19 and 20 tomorrow.

Today has been long, but good! Heather and I woke up at 9 to get ready and to go see Sarah perform at the Forbes center. She did a lovely job :) Papa Tobz was able to come as well, and he treated us all to brunch afterwards. It was so delicious, and I loved getting to spend time with them :) Sadly, Heather departed shortly after our meal. But I get to see her lovely face again on friday! So all is well :) {P.S.- Heather, if you're reading this, I had Brittany, Brianna, Stephanie, AND Brandi all ask me if you were still here when I saw them. And when I told them that you had already left, this is the response I got: "Awww. That's sad :/" Yes, facial expression and all. Haha. You are well liked, chica! Well duh..... but anyways! Haha.} After coming back to the room, making some new friends, and taking a nap, I went to UREC with Brandi. For a little over an hour we were able to use studio space to dance and watch a few old music videos, haha. I love Brandi :) A lot, a lot! From there, I came back to the room before going to dinner with Andrea, Brittany, and Brianna. I saw Steph and a few girls from my small group while I was there, so that was cool! After dinner, Andrea had a movie date/tea time in my room. It was a good time :) I also got to talk to my darling Elizabeth, whom I love and adore with all of my heart and then-some. Oh friends, I hope you all are having pleasant dreams. I bid thee goodnight!

Proverbs 18

Be a friend to everyone; let us not have a self-centered life. Our own opinions are of no value if they have no foundation in the teachings of our Father. Have no associations with the wicked. Always strive to bring justice to those who desperately are in need of it. To speak foolishness is to bring about your own demise. A sluggard is just as bad as one who tears down the work of others. The Lord is our strength; only He can provide us with protection and support. Do not be prideful; be humble! Do not speak without receiving judgement and understanding. Seek it out; do not let your words be rash. Make sure you hear both sides of an argument; only hearing one side can lead to misinformed and incorrect judgement. Let your words be fruitful, and you will find satisfaction with the Lord. Words are powerful, point blank. We are not above pleading for mercy. Trust me, we need it. In regards to friends, it isn't about quantity. {Wait for the cliche.....} It's about quality. I know that I have so many friends who love me enough to listen, care for, and help me when I need it. And I make it a priority to do the same. If you wish to have a friend that "sticks closer than a brother," be one yourself :)

Proverbs 17

• Don't try lying to God; it's disgraceful and it won't work.
• Forgive others who do wrong against you.
• Avoid folly; it is dangerous to come into contact with.
• Do not start quarrels.
• Love your friends at all times!
• To be a fool is to bring disgrace to our Father.
• Keep your eyes on wisdom; you will gain understanding.
• Be careful with your words.

I said today would be glorious

February 18th, 2011

It's been exactly 2 years since I first set foot in West End Assembly of God, the only church I've ever really gone to or been a member of. That night at youth group was when I started my walk with Christ.

That was only 2 years ago?!  Whaaaaaaaaaaaat???? Crazy.Ness.

Bet you can't guess where I am!

Yes, that's right...... Carrier library! I've been studying for this test I have in world religions tomorrow.

Luckily, its only like 30 multiple choice questions. However, a good portion is supposed to come from the reading, and guess who stopped doing the reading a few weeks ago.... ME! Whatever, I figure if I know the basic concepts for each then I should be okay, right?

Anyways, today was alright. After psyc and lunch I went to the writing center to get some help with my paper. I have quite a bit to fix, and that makes me sad :( Whatevs, I'll do that on sunday. I then spent some time on the quad with some of my lovely sisters {Hannah, Taylor, Courtney, Rachel, Kirsten, and Brittany}. They make me happy :) And it was such a lovely day outside! Ahh, I just love it :) Health was blah. I really didn't want to go to it, but I have a test on tuesday. So yeah... I got to have dinner with Hannah and Brandi, which was really great :) From there, I went to Justice Team. Woop woop! And then I found myself back in Carrier. I did, however, get to skype Heather for a little bit {Steph momentarily crashed our date, so the two of them got to meet each other! Haha.}. Since then I've basically been struggling to study for this test without getting distracted on facebook. I was able to focus for short periods of time, but I ended up semi-stalking people. While I was doing so, I came across this video:

Hahahaha! Of all the songs you could sing, why would you choose this one?! And, better question, HOW COULD YOU FORGET THE WORDS?! Hahaha. Woooooooow.

Goodnight my loves :)

We didn't get kicked out of Carrier...

Haha, yeah. Stephanie, her friend Sydney, and I got booted out of the library at 2 AM with annoying bell sounds and flickering lights. Really mature, people! Haha. We needed to peace out anyways, but it was still funny. Here are some other things that we didn't do in Carrier today {Taylor was there for most of this, too!}:

• Sing disney songs, out loud and NOT in a hushed tone.
• Laugh until our eyes leaked {well, I know mine did at least :) }.
• Change each other's facebook statuses when someone left the table.
• Neglect studying for tests.
• Get really, really distracted.... a lot :P

Yeah, tonight was a good night :) Some of my sisters and I posted positive sticky-notes in several buildings on the quad, which was followed up by Stephanie, Hannah, and I singing and dancing around to the Spice Girls :) We got a few looks, but it's whatevs :) I took Worldbeat again tonight with Hannah, Jenn, Kirsten, and Brittany; that's always fun! And yeah, it was at that point that I ventured back over to Carrier and had the lovely list of experiences listed above :) I spent a grand total of about 9 1/2 hours in the library today. Kind of sad, really, but I didn't mind too much. However, it is after 3 AM now, and I do mind the fact that I'll be getting less than 7 hours of sleep. Thus, I must bid thee farewell. Goodnight loves!
