:-D
Ok, so i just thought I would rejoice in the Lord a little bit here. First of all...has anyone stepped outside today?!?! I mean, this is better weather than some that I had in Hawai'i! Which by the way...was AMAZING!!!! Sorry I havent said anything sooner but the majority of people who read this I've already told about it. So I was standing somewhere today and i looked at my stomach and saw it was really dark...like tan looking...and i was like, what?! Surely that's not right...and it turns out that my stomach was in a shadowy spot of the room. Isn't that sad? I almost got excited there!
So yes...Hawai'i is awesome and I miss it a ton but it was good to get back home and see all of your smiling faces!! I'm still as white as can be but that will all change this summer!!
So last night I watched American Idol and I actually voted for people!! I've never done that before...and it made me feel like I actually contributed something And by the way I voted for first and foremost...Carrie Underwood!!! then Bo Bice, Constantine, Nikko Smith, and Nadia Turner!! I love them all so much...nadia and constantine can be off on nights but last night all five of those were dead on! and if you ask me, i like scott but i honestly think that after how he did last night he will be the one to go tonight. (The lady that was our tour guide in Hawai'i actually watches american idol and I finally figured out how jasmien trias got so far last season...bc Hawai'i, as small as it is, has to make sure that if there is a hawaiian in the competition...they MUST win!!...unfortunately they are never that good) I watched House...which i had never seen before and it was actually good...id recommend it...then my parents were watching the amazing race and so i got hooked on it and it was actually good too...(those are two shows i never expected to be good). The point of this is that in the middle of it i heard this screeching noise from the other room so i went to see what it was and it was a 6 day old kitty!!! It was soooo cute, but we cant keep her which made me sad...but i got pictures so its all good.
Anyway...today I went to school and did something for the first time ever in class......I FELL ASLEEP!!!! ...I was so proud of myself too! And if anyone has Wilson for AP English then you know why and that it was completely ok. Then went to choir and saw all my tita's!!! (you hawai'i people know what I'm talking about) We all looked at awesome pictures and everything...then came home and LAYED OUT!!!!! ...I know, right? Like how could this day get any better??? Except that it does!! Next I worked out...which was so fun bc i havent done it in so long bc of spring break. So now I'm writing all of this down and am about to go wash my car so I can feel accomplished too(). Then it's off to Bible Study and when I come home it's the results show for American Idol...and ::drum roll:: AN ALL NEW EPISODE OF LOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's right ladies and gentlemen...the first new episode of LOST since I was about 100 feet away from the set itself!!! If only I could have seen Matthew Fox!!! ::Sigh::
Well, also to let y'all know, if anyone is wondering...the Lord is making adjustments in my life right now and I'm trying to obey them. You know, I always think that it is so easy to obey the Lord bc I should know that what He wants from me is what I need to be doing anyway and that I shouldn't get confused or not do it...but lately Ive learned how easy it is to get confused and forget to listen. It's kind of hard to obey if you dont even know what He's saying. So if you are taking down prayer requests...mine is that I seek out the Lord and listen to His voice...not to ignore, but to "look intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continue to do this, not forgetting what [is] heard, but doing it..." I am so grateful to have a God and Father that loves me so much He is willing to discipline me...for out of discipline comes obedience...and out of obedience comes freedom, in Christ at least.
looking towards Him, Audra
