So today was my first day of classes for this semester, and needless to say it was a little hectic, especially given the fact that pretty much all (excluding a research lab) of my classes occur on tuesday/thursday. BUT, despite the long day of classes from 8-2 (some of which I might enjoy), some great things did happen that I'm so thankful for the Lord for...
1. practice started back up today, or official practice that is. which is so wonderful, because i've missed our team and actually having people to run with and talk to for an hour or so instead of focusing on the run itself.
2. fca/team united track Bible study also started back...which was completely wonderful and exactly what I needed. We talked about truly being satisfied and Summer said something that really made me think...she was saying how sometimes even though we are forgiven, we don't feel forgiven and when we allow that feeling to overcome the freedom that His son gave us on the cross, then we are placing our emotions above His promises, and we are no longer allowing Him to be Lord of our life....I just though that was really cool, and something that I should keep in perspective sometimes. Even if I don't feel worthy, Jesus died so that I could be. And that's pretty incredible!
3. Lifegroup! some girls on our team have decided to start a group not just with the distance girls, but all the track girls just to get to know everyone and have a time of fellowship on thursdays which i'm really excited to see how the Lord is going to show up in that.
4. I have NO class tomorrow. One of the redeemable features to my schedule is that I have monday and wednesday completely off...so that's exciting. And Wesley starts back tomorrow, and I cannot wait!
prayer request (me): alot is going on in my life right now...I just feel like the Lord is showing me a lot and bringing some changes my way so that's big on my list of prayer right now, that I would just be open and quiet before Him and fully trust His plans and timing... also, i'm applying for SWAT (students with a testimony) and interviews are friday, and i'm slightly nervous about that. so that too.
prayer request (others): one of my friends has been struggling with an injury for a while now, and she just recently got some possible bad news that is either going to be verified or denied tomorrow. she's has such a spirit of praise throughout the entire process that it is my prayer that if it's the Lord will that she'll just be free from that and healthy and able to do what she loves and bring Him glory in that.
i really just wish i could live in a bookstore sometimes....
