"Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised." ~ Proverbs 31:30

It's Almost 11 O'clock...

...which means it's time for me to write a little something with enough meaning for you, as the reader, to interpret my pithy post properly.  I hope that you are familiar enough with the English norms of language so that you can understand what I'm trying to impart to you.  Please, don't take anything I'm saying out of context,  but determine the subject matter, and go from there.

As you most likely surmised from the above paragraph, yes, I'm studying for my Hermeneutics mid-term.  So many terms, phrases, and topics to memorize!  But it will be good, especially if I have good recall on test day.  ;)  Pray for me, though, because it's a multiple choice exam, and I have the awful tendency to waaaaaay over think such things, making a plausible case for 3 out of the 4 possible answers.  I really can't tell you how badly I want to get an A in this class, so I've got a great amount of studying to do.

On top of that, I've got lots of reading and researching to do for two of my other classes, which are both fantastic, and then a bibliography for one and a book review for another.  Though the last two items aren't due til the last day of class, I'd really like to get a head start on them so I won't be worried about starting/finishing those while studying for finals.

Other than that, I've also got a mid-term in my New Testament Survey class.  I'm thoroughly enjoying this one!  So many great historical background informational bits that help to piece together the gospel to make it that much more beautiful.  God is so good!  :D

So that's life in a nutshell.  Lots of studying, planned breaks of studying (Six Flags on Saturday), and school and church events on the horizon.

On a totally unrelated thread, my roommate reminded me that next Thursday is the last day of class before Spring Break!!!  I had completely lost track of time and was expecting at least another week of school between mid-terms and a week long break, so this was a glorious realization.  It's been 2.5 months since I've seen home and family, so as you can imagine, I'm itching to get back!

May God bless y'all as you go about your week!  :D

who do You worship?

This is by far my absolute favorite worship song of the year 2012!  I know, it's only February, but guys,  this song really just describes who God is, and it excites me as well as humbles me.  It puts me in my place as I realize where His is.  My soul can't help but worship when I listen to this song!  God is SO good, y'all!  I just wish everybody could experience the joy and peace of knowing my Father!  Go, spread the gospel to those around you as you live your daily, mundane -- or exciting -- lives.  If you are filled with His love, surely you don't want to hold it all to yourself!

Be selfless with your life and learn how to share!  If you have a piece of wonderful news, you're going to want to spread it!  God's love, grace, and awesomeness are too much to just keep to ourselves!  Now let's get out there and show the world WHO HE IS!!!

Fact:  I spent 9 hours writing and stylizing a book review today
Fact:  Food is tastier when hungry
Fact:  God is good, all the time
Fact:  When I found out Luke hit a tree with the van, I laughed.  Really hard.

Fact:  I have been adopted by one of my roommates and her boyfriend as their daughter
Fact:  Losing your debit card, while quite awful when caught up in the moment, actually forces you to spend less money, so may be an act of Providence

And there you have it!  A short list of the things I have been occupied with for the past couple of days.  Life is good.  :)
