Lovely Rain
I love that I've gotten to a place where I actually enjoy rain. I hated it as a freshmen, umbrellas and stepping in puddles when I couldn't avoid them and such. But now...I kinda like rain. *smiles sleepily* It's such a John Mayer kind of day. This is the kind of day that's just sort of mellow and introspective. I look forward to those few rainy days at Beach Project. It'll be a nice change, and maybe I'll do something big and actually talk a walk outside in the rain (umbrella not included). That would be fun.
God has been amazing today. I was sort of "dragging" this morning, as one of my professors put it, because I was stressed about Spanish, I had the SAI (music fraternity) test that I hadn't had time to study for yet, and I was gonna find out if I got into the big singing group or not. So yeah, much stress. But God totally was amazing!!! He didn't have Profesora Llorente (pronounced Your-in-tay) take up the Spanish homework and the test was CANCELED!!!! And besides, my voice lesson went very well and I got important mail from my mom, the girl scout cookies (thin mints) that I ordered (come by and ask for some!), and I got to go shopping briefly with Becca (Massey!).
No, I didn't get into the group. I was disappointed for a second or two, but I was over it pretty quick. I'm enjoying actually going somewhere with my voice, actually improving and just enjoying singing and following my dreams: to help out in a youth group at a church that I love, singing beautiful songs, learning Spanish, taking nature photographs for fun (which I actually have been getting many compliments on), learning tons about the Bible in my minor, going to Beach Project, being part of an amazing discipleship group with my three best friends reading an amazing (and convicting!) book, living in the AWESOME DORM next year (I'm so thankful for that!), having a quiet time with Jesus every morning, and I'm not dating anybody!
Dreams I still have, things I would still like to do, is to start teaching myself the piano again because I really want to get better at that. I have a dream of just getting to know godly guys a whole lot better and being encouraged by them. (I really need that right now, as I'm still healing from sexual abuse and such. Wounds have been healed, but there are still ones that are still healing and perhaps even have yet to be touched or noticed.) I would like to take a walk in the rain on a summer day, no umbrella included. I would like to have read every book in the Bible completely.
That's all, folks. Have a wonderful day!
