Walk 32

Oh man,
I'm going to have a really hard time now numbering these posts.
Well,
until I open up my Bible.
I'm so used to just naming the walk whatever the date is,
but now I can't do that.
Today is February 1st, 
but Walk 32.
This is going to mess me up.


Good things on the 1st of February:
  •  Feeling like I did pretty good on my Stats quiz.
  • Drinking some Cranberry Pomegranate Green Tea on my way to speech class today. I like that stuff! However, I always end up letting it steep too long and it gets SUPER bitter.
  • Getting to be the receptionist ALL afternoon today. I don't know why they let me do that, because I'm not a very good receptionist. Ha, I either redirect all my questions to someone else, or tell the person that I just straight up don't know. But it's still fun! Also, I made random videos to send to Josh! By the way, they're extra creepy and weird!
  • Drawing the official beginning pages of the coloring book I told my friends Celeste and Paige that I would send them... LAST SEMESTER. Yeaah, I gotta get on that.
  • Going to Mondo Subs on campus and running into my friends Rachel, Mandy, and Laura. It was nice to eat with them :)
  • After struggling with the internet, it finally decided to actually connect and work after about 9 p.m.



Guys,
my flower pot things that I bought
aren't sprouting yet.
Should I be worried?
Does it have something to do with them being from the dollar section?
Probably.
Let's not tell them that though.
Okay,
seriously,
I have been listening to this song
all afternoon.
I think it is absolutely 
ab-
so-
freaking-
lutely
gorgeous.
I think,
I think I want to dance to this at my wedding.
You know,
the bride and groom's first dance?
Wouldn't that be the most
romantic
gorgeous 
scene 
you could ever imagine
beholding?
It  better be,
because it is for me.
And yes, 
I like Glee.
This song was on a couple episodes ago.
I loved it then,
and I love it now.
I know I tell you this a lot,
but 
please
please 
please 
listen to it.
For me?



Guess what!!
We've made it to Leviticus! 
This is probably the most of the Bible I've ever read, sadly.
But it's good that I'm doing it now!
So in Walk 32
God describes how He wants the Israelites to make sacrifices to Him.
I guess it's interesting,
but to me it's a little sickening 
because of all the descriptions of the parts of animals that had to be cleaned and cut and killed, etc.
 But I liked one quote from the devotional part of it:
"A drop of praise is unsuitable acknowledgement for an ocean of mercy."
 I really like that.
It reminds me that
the Israelites had to give these complicated sacrifices/offerings,
because it was their way of expressing more than just a drop of praise.
The devotion of going through the process of killing and cleaning the animal,
and then picking out the part for the altar 
show the dedication that they needed to have to God.
It sets a good example 
for us to give more than just the minimum in praising and sacrificing to God.
