Walk 17

"So what can I say
What can I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You
So I'll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it all 
So I'll stand
My soul Lord to you surrendered
All I am is yours          

                                                                           "

 Ahhhh man, 

I L-O-V-E that song.

We sang it at the BCM last night (Tuesday night - when this post should have been born).

What's the BCM?

Well, I'm glad you asked!

The BCM stands for the Baptist Collegiate Ministry.

I honestly meant to go all last semester.

But I was Ms. Excuses and found every excuse to not go.

Granted, the one main excuse of being sick with a disease was semi-valid,

but still,

after I was sort of better I should've gone. 

But I had forgotten almost how good it feels to go and worship God in a more contemporary setting.

During the summer,

I would go to my home church's college group called The Orchard.

I loved it. 

It was so much fun to have this contemporary service on a random night, such as a Tuesday.

Something was wrong with me though.

I made such lame excuses and wimped out going the entire time I was at home for my surgery and Christmas.

I have got to stop doing that.

I need to ask God for more of a conviction.

And also to make worshiping Him the sole purpose of going,

not for also spending time with friends.

Good things on the 17th of January:

•  Waking up late for a class that I'm not technically signed up for. I didn't go. Why is this on the good things list? Well I didn't really want to go to that class at 8 in the morning... so... yeah.
• Going to my Tuesday/Thursday classes for the first time this semester.
• Getting my work schedule straightened out.
• Finding out more of the process of what I need to do to get Chemistry back on my schedule and emailing my teacher about it.
• Actually doing homework before 8 p.m.
• Going to the BCM with Kelly, Rachel, Mandy, Rachel's roommate Laura, and I think another girl named Laura also.

Man, it rained today (technically yesterday)!!!

It was just overcast for most of the day,

but after I left the financial aid office for the first time,

(I had left my I-9 card in my room which I needed to get my work assignment)

it started raining really hard!

I had to grab my umbrella because my rain jacket just wasn't doing the job very well on its own.

So yesterday/this post also,

apparently my the clutch in my dad's truck decided to go out.

Right as he was getting off an exit ramp in a busy part of Nashville.

Awesome!

So my parents were texting me the whole day trying to decide if they were going to come over here to get my car for my dad to drive.

They didn't end up coming though.

The car shop said they could have his truck fixed by the end of the day,

so they opted for that.

And I was sad.

I was really hoping they would come,

because I missed them.

I know I was kind of ready to go back to school because I felt like I was starting to be treated like a child again,

instead of a young adult who's starting to become independent,

but sometimes I just want to go home.

I love it there.

And I was really sad that I wasn't going to be able to see my parents before this weekend.

How am I ever going to be able to move out and be independent?

I'm going to be that kid that lives on the street behind her parents.

I hope my future husband's okay with that.

Or my cats.

Whichever one.

Preferably the husband though.

However, cats can't verbally protest to moving...

I'd still take the husband.

So Walk 17 was all about Jacob (Israel) dying,

and Joseph and his brothers taking his body to Canaan.

Before Jacob died, he blessed all of his sons and Joseph's sons.

And then at the end of the story,

Joseph died too.

It was kind of depressing, 

everyone dying.

But it did signal the end of the book of Genesis! Woot woot!!!

The next post will be from Exodus!
