late march

i woke up this morning at 10 a.m. which isn't too atypical for a college student. however, as you might already know, i've been student teaching this semester, which means getting up anywhere between 5 & 6 a.m. depending on the day of the week. so needless to say, i felt pretty stinkin' rested this morning. and it gets even better. (why did i get to wake up so late? the high school kid-os have spring break this week, which is great for me because i get a 2nd spring break of 2010)

the rest of the day boiled down like this: corn flakes for breakfast, unrestricted-by-time quiet time, deposited some money at the bank (always good, right), some work on a cover letter/resume combo, an afternoon run, chapter, dinner w my boy g.law, writing this blog post, and later on i'm playing some bball with some friends. pretty solid day, right?

the day was made even better because i remembered a mind-blowing truth that i discussed sunday night with a guy named zach (he's a freshman, which puts him ahead of me on this learning curve). whether i (or you for that matter) end up teaching, interning, or some other randomly crazy-planned-out thing that God calls me to next fall, i can rest secure in the perfect fact that God has made my life to be ridiculously more meaningful than what i am doing right now, what i did two years ago, or what i'll be doing ten years down the road. my entire life is going to eventually be used to bring glory to the God i live for here on earth. not just one snippet of it. not just one relationship. not even one job/career/you name it. mom, if you're reading let me know what you're thinking about now.

and so ::

i'm living with everything i've got for God right now. because that's what i've been given. and i desire to live with purpose and passion much greater than my self.

my prayer / song ::

let hope arise

and darkness tremble in Your holy light

that every eye would see Jesus our God

Great and Mighty to be praised
