Breathe

So I guess you could say that it has been a while since I last wrote on here - and oh do I have the reasons for it haha. Mainly, I have not had internet at my apartment, so that makes it tough to post - and sitting in the mall just to use the slowest internet known to mankind looses its attraction really quickly.

But life hey? Life has been going good - school is really busy, yet at the same time it is not as busy as I thought it would be. I am guessing that it will get more busy as time goes on and the assignments start to pile up. Currently I am enrolled in a few different classes: Old testament introduction, Musicianship 1 / group lessons, communication in ministry, songwriting 1 / workshops, personal leadership - and a few different chapels. Over all its fairly good, I generally enjoy my days.

The one thing which has not been cool lately is my lack of sleep. I don't know whether it is me just thinking to much, or the heat - its probably just the heat, because ever since I've bought a fan - I've slept better every night. I finally feel as though I have sort of caught up on my lack of rest. I like thursdays for the reason that I only have one class, which means I am able to sleep until - basically as late as I can sleep (which is never past nine), so thats nice.

So currently - I just got back from a mens breakfast which was downstairs - it was good, but I came back up just to hang out, and clean up - our place is usually messy, it drives me crazy. I am also baking cookies right now - double chocolate chip cookies, thank God for betty crocker - for those of us who can't actually do this sort of stuff. Its raining today, not just like weak canadian rain, but like downpour. When it rains here - it really rains a lot, and I love it because it cools everything down so much, I love that cold smell - you know what I mean? (insert scratch and sniff) - it reminds me of home, of those cold winter mornings which I miss, and our spring rain. I do miss home, I have been thinking about it quite a bit - not to much, but enough. Whatever that really means. I miss all the small things, like not having to worry about money - its not like I sit here worrying about money, but its always there, always thinking about money and making sure I am being wise about that all - its not always easy, but I am learning fairly well I think. I also miss not having to clean up after other people, haha - I make it sound real bad, and most of the time its not, but somedays it makes me so frustrated, if everyone just cleaned up after themselves it would make things so much easier - for everyone.

Anyways - something I've been thinking about is this: We are always in certain seasons of life, thus where I am - its a season - I'm here for a reason. I don't really know the reason why I am here, or what exactly God wants me to learn, but I do know that I am here because what I learn / experience in this season is preparing me for what will be in the next season. Its just a thought, its as simple or as complicated as one wants it to be. I just thought that it was sort of neat - it puts everything into perspective, it gives everything purpose.

But, yea. If you want, I could really use your prayers. Like I said - I have been thinking about home a lot lately, and its tough - the grass is always greener. So if you could pray that I could daily - find God's peace in my heart, I would really really appreciate that.

I hope you're all doing good, write me a note sometime - I would love to hear from you all, I think about you all - almost daily.

But until next time,
Take care friends.
Faith and hope.
