Sundays are the best and worst, it is a cruel irony how it all works out. I wake up early, why, b/c this ol body just can't sleep in very late, which is good because I get to chilax and chat with God and read up on His Word. Then I gotta get up and move, I'm a mover and a shaker. So, I do something crafty or ingenious. Then all the creative juices are used up...just about that time, it is finally time to go to church! wooohoo! I really do love church, bunch of people, a lot of who I don't know, but a lot of people I do know or have seen a lot and we get to sing together, praisin' Jesus, learning something new and being challenged...
ahhh...challenge. Here is the great one today, not so much challenge, but opportunity. The opportunity to affect change, the chance to be a part of something God is doing on a larger scale. The option to commit and change lives and act like we are commanded, to care for the poor and needy. Oh, I get so pumped up just thinking about it!
you gotta check this out....basically, the bottom line and way this change will happen is simply by people cutting their Christmas giving and using the money they would spend on gifts anyway to give to the advent conspiracy and there are four different levels of things that can happen, if 2,000 people give 200 then the complete 4 tier conceptual model will be completed and all by Christmas, which is amazing. All this change is in line to happen and the outcome will be determined in 8 weeks.
here's the website if you're interested in what I'm talking about

if you read this you prob would be on my Christmas list and so that means, you probably won't be getting anything from me for Christmas and I expect and ask nothing from you except that you seriously consider being a part of the conspiracy. It is a nationwide thing so churches all around the country are doing it, check it out

Oh, did I mention each person is supposed to get 10 others to commit, so we might need to talk:) I mean, we really will be feeding the hungry, schooling the kids in booksmarts, God-smarts, and streetsmarts(or so they know how to get off the street), providing drinking water and thus better health to people who would otherwise die from diarrhea, ...is that enough, cause I can tell you more.
Now, back to how Sundays are the best. Did I mention how God answers prayers? He does. He did it all this week, multiple times, in multiple ways. Don't believe me just think about it, can't come up with anything, ask a friend, share in the rejoicing over the good He has done!
Why are Sundays the worst? Well, when one is accustomed to spending every waking moment focusing on something, getting stuff around for the next something, or being too tired to focus anymore...it makes it hard to stop the cycle. The brain wants to go go go, the body gets fidgity (but I guess that could be just me), and that's when we say...just relax, enjoy, take it in...go ahead and just about that time...it's time for Monday. Viscous cycle.
I wrote a poem about rain this morning cause it has been a rainy day. I listened to a preacher on the radio. I laughed as roommate4life made her way down the stairs in rollerblades, she laughed as I made my way up. I rollerbladed in the apartment, remember when mom would say you're not allowed to rollerblade indoors, and how they said that at school and in the dorm, though I can't promise it didn't happen anyway and in less than full clothing like that one May term...ahaha...let's just say many girls who lived on 2 East might be scarred for life. (yes, it was worth it)
Oh, the good old days
Gotta have stuff to look forward to, can't be looking in the past...I'm looking forward to after this week to have two major tests done, two papers completed and one turned in, to be able to play in the water with young friends and enjoy a pizza party afterward...add another day on so after Monday to be able to say that I get to have three major tests done, no more things to study till after Thanksgiving, seeing a long lost friend from the south, and getting my groove on, b/c remember I'm a mover and a shaker:) hahaha
until next time ya'll
Yeeehaaawww!
