makes me sad when your closest friend doesnt have time to talk to you anymore even when you're having a really bad day. miss you.

Soap Box...

We're in college...

No temper tantrums because you don't get your way. We're not two anymore.

Lecture outlines don't have to be word to word to understand them, we're in college we should know how to take notes.

Pet Peeve of the Day: Lubbbock drivers suck! They don't use their blinkers, they drive 30 in a 50, old people don't drive in a lane...oh how I love the drivers in lubbock.

Today as I sit in Close Relationships I really think about how lost this world is. Looking at statistics of divorce, infedelity and all that jazz makes me sad. Makes me realized how unsaved this world is. Work out your disagreements, don't let little crap like who didn't take out the trash cause conflict. We discussed a couple who sets aside once a week to confront conflicitual topics and if you did that...dont you think you'd forget about all that stupid petty crap? Think about it...

I learned something good today, and from Usher. Usher is not God or no bible, but he has some insightful words to share in his album. I was listening to a song and I wanted the lyrics to it so I decided to pull out the little booklet diddy to see if the lyrics were in there. Unfortunately no lyrics, but on every page is a confession Usher wrote. This one rang so true for me in my life today: Confession #1 "Sometimes you have to go through something to get to something". This applies so well to the scripture I've been meditating on for the past week and the realization I've come to concerning the past four months of my life. I've been focused on Hebrews 12 about God disciplining us after realizing that for the past four months I've been doing crazy things and it's time for me to be disciplined even though it hurts. Then to come around such profound words from Usher that tell me that sometimes we have to go through something to get somewhere else...if I wouldn't have gone through the things I did this summer then I wouldn't be where I am today.

A funny for today...anyone else fear getting hit more by a bike than a bus or a car on campus? Well I do because the bike riders are crazy. Well today I was leaving Jon Lisa and I told them I had to hurry so I could beat traffic across University and as I darted out the front door I walked write into a bike rider...slamming right into him causing his bike to wobble. I apologized and got really red I am sure, I felt so bad...too bad neither of us got hurt because the story would be ten times more funny...but point being, it was funny that I walked into a guy riding his bike...I fear the bike riders!!

What a creative thing to do with the snow...man I love the art work! Anyway, I know I've posted this already but this morning I went and took a picture so I could see it even better.

What's wrong with this picture. Incase you can't figure it out let me post another so you can tell what I am eating... 

RANDOMNESS

So today's blog is dedicated to random things that have gone on this week or whatever. And we all know that I am very random so this blog fits me very well.

First, I was in line at the bank the other day and I heard the lady next to me talking and it sounded like a very close family friend so I turn my head to look and definately disappointed that it wasn't Cindi. But it made me happy because I love Cindi.

Second, yesterday we are sitting at work talking and I start talking about my Grandma. I decide to show the girls my GeeMa and Roxy is like where'd she live. I tell her she lived in an assisted living center on 50th and she said "Ventura Place" and I said "ya!" Turns out Roxy use to work with my GeeMa and said she was amazing. Then we both cried...teehee!

Third, in the midst of writing this my roommate just broke our shower door. It was almost me this morning, it wouldn't shut and I was ready to break it off. It's silly anyway, who uses those anymore?!

Fourth, on the way to school yesterday I saw a hurst that was very much so decorated for Day of the Dead. It had all sorts of festive stuff plus lots of skulls. Anyway.

So today it's been one year exactly since my Geema died. And I went home for the weekend because I just thought it would be a great weekend to spend some time with my mommy. So this morning I am sitting in church and this video starts to play that deals directly with the serman. Sermon titled "God is bigger than our grief". In the video they were asking people what has hurt them and it seems as though a lot of people mentionted death and of course my tears start rolling instantly. How crazy is it that Larry's sermon just happened to be on grief exactly one year after I lost the person I cared most about. The hardest thing I've ever had to deal with...crazy! Not only did he preach about it but I was sitting with my best friend who drove up the day my Grandma died...God provided me with her a year ago and today. I love Chelsey soooo much! After the service our benediction song was "Because He Lives" and it even more so reminded me of my Grandma. There was no way that I wasn't 100% suppose to be in Denton this weekend and that was sure proof to me. God continued making me smile all day. As we were driving home I look up and I seriously spent at least half an hour staring at the sun as it changed and set. Trent was asleep and I was just thinking about how gorgeous the sunset was and God's amazing love for me. Then I got pulled over and by the grace of God I only got a warning. Anyway, God is good...very very good. I wanna share the sermon from today with ya'll but I am really tired from staying out so late last night. So tomorrow I will update this a little bit better.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF EMILY BELLE "Bobbie" aka GEEMA!!!
