i'm too lazy to do an LJ cut so just deal with the long entry.
omg. i had the most RIDICULOUS thing happen to me yesterday. it was my fault completely, but it was SO embarrasing...
ok. so it's saturday, i'm done w/ rehearsal and i got my hair done and all that, ate dinner...etc. i decide i need to do laundry so i gather up all the stuff i need to wash, put it in my laundry basket, get my detergent, student ID (to swipe for money) and head out the door. the laundry room is just down the hall. the SECOND i hear the door shut behind me i literally said out loud "oh no. nooo." i had left my key inside the room. so i was locked out. all my roommates are gone this weekend. (the annoying part about all of this was that i had done it like two weeks ago too). So, it's broad daylight, and i have to go outside of my building, walk all the way up the courtyard thing to building 1513 to the front desk to check out a key. Not so bad you think? Well you forget i was doing laundry...and that usually means you wear whatever you never wear so you don't need to wash it. I was wearing my cut off work out pants that say "surf girl" on the butt...and a tshirt...with no bra. But i had no choice, i HAD to go get the key. So i manage to cover it up pretty well i think..i walked really fast...avoided people as best i could. So i get back in my room...start watchin a movie/reading some biochem...change over my laundry to the drier...come back keep reading/watching the movie...then a couple hours later i'm like CRAP MY LAUNDRY'S STILL IN THE DRIER! so i grab the basket, and walk out the door. the SECOND the door closes i realize....i just did it again. my checked out key AND original key were locked inside my room. i was like NOOOOO. and literally said out loud "this is NOT happening to me!" hahahah. So, luckily it was darker this time, but i had to once again make the treck out of my building (in the same embarrasing ensemble) and up to the front desk, which is now being worked by a guy. so i strategically lean over on the desk so that my chest is BELOW the edge of it. so since i had already check out my key, he had to get one of my roommate's keys and couldn't just give it to me...he had to get another worker (a girl thank GOODNESS) to walk w/ me all the way to my room and let me in.
Awkward.
Well, I hope that you all thoroughly enjoyed that story and got a good laugh on my behalf. It really felt like something out of a movie. Ahh..
Oh yeah and i saw a guy at the dining hall today, w/ a HUGE umbrella sticking out of his bookbag so that the curved handle was sticking up like 1 foot over his head. hahaha. it was hillarious.
And I've decided (with the help of the amazing sermon this morning) that I need a contrite heart. A broken and contrite heart is what God wants, and that's what I want to give him. I have a few strongholds in my life that I am not letting God into. The most ridiculous part is that it's not like I'm just now aware of it. He's shown them to me over and over again, and every time I'm just like "no, i'll keep that thank you." haha. It's so stupid. I can't be the person I really want to be, and that God knows I can be until I let him into EVERY SINGLE aspect of my life. So, It's not going to be easy, because it's definitley my nature to be a control freak (as many of you know I like to be in charge. haha), but I'm going to do it. I'm not going to go anywhere in my life as a Christian until i do. And one thing specifically that I learned today, that I think a lot of people get wrong is that, God does not want to crush you. I hear a lot of people saying that God had to break them, or crush them before they could be put back together and made new. But God doesn't want to crush US. He wants to crush that strain of human pride that we all have. That's what he's fighting against. He can't have us until the pride and need to control is gone. And all He wants is us. Anyway, just some thoughts...
