Current To-Do List...
1. Clean my room, except this probably won't happen/is not worth happening, because what I really need to do with all of the clothing and books all over my floor is put them into suitcases.
2. Finish the online HNGR course.
3. Read my book for HNGR and answer the questions. (This freaking awesome book deserves a whole post to itself, but that's another story. I love my life and books and HNGR and being a Christian and a lot of other things.)
4. Watch my movie for HNGR and answer the questions.
5. Sit down with the latest letters from my HNGR prayer partners and really read/pray over them.
6. Email my HNGR prayer partners.
7. Write some letters to some people who I love.
8. Read Henri Nouwen slowly.
9. Maybe read Richard Foster slowly.
10. Read/pray Celtic Daily Prayer slowly.
11. Think about the year and emotionally/spiritually prepare for it. (My mother would really want to insert something here about practically preparing for it, which leads me to...)
12. Order my textbooks.
13. Order some photo prints.
14. Guard these next ten days from becoming what the end of my breaks so often become... ten times crazier than the rest of the summer because I try and cram in everything I didn't do the whole break, and thus go back to school NOT rested, NOT prepared, thus defying the point of EVERYTHING!!! Let them be filled with prayer, and pause, and the rest and laughter that comes with real quality time, and reading and enjoying God, and reflecting on the summer with gratitude and a willingness to learn, and looking forward to the year with gratitude and trust.
