rain and pain but glory to God

Yesterday was a cold and rainy day that reminded me of being in Ireland. With the cold and rain I knew today would be a very sore day. From ankles cracking as I walk to struggling to open a bottle of water yesterday was a rough day, but it truly is okay because God is still God and He plans the weather to His liking.

As the weekend quickly approaches, I am beginning to realize this period before Thanksgiving is crunch time. There should be a name for the time between fall break and Thanksgiving break.. a name that adequately describes the stress level of college students.

S E A T T L E !!!!!
I'm only a little bit excited.. I got my tickets and things really seem to be working out. God totally has His hands all over this and I look forward to doing whatever Network needs me to do and whatever God puts on their workload that I can do. Details are still being hashed out right now but I am so excited and sooooooo looking forward to SB 2012!!!

There hasnt been much going on lately.. other than a lot. haha. There is just a lot of school work that never seems to end and like I said before from now until Thanksgiving I should just lock myself in a room and pound out this work..

<3

ohhhhhhhhhh yeahhhhhhhh

So, It's Thursday, and tomorrow is Friday.. which really means only a day and a half until I am home!

Thursday class from 2-5 dinner and a project
Friday class from 1-5 dinner then LEAVE!!!!

This fall break is something I have been much needing for about 3 weeks. It was great to see my family a few weeks ago but I am just ready to leave Muncie.

checkout.
gone.
be done.
pause.

Mentally, I have been needing a break from school. Physically, I have been needing rest.

FALL BREAK IS ALMOST HERE!!!!!!

I'm only a tad bit excited though. Life has been pretty good other than that.. More bloggin will come this weekend I promise.

Till then.. <3

A Legend 1955-2011

I just finished a blog for my ICOM class. On this page there is the blog post in tribute of Steve Jobs but also there are two images on the left side to click on, Steve Jobs out of "Apples" and Steve Jobs Tribute. I suppose you could say this is me paying my respect to a man who truly has changed the way we think about technology, the future and life.

I Surrender All

This is my song of the week. I just keep finding the chorus running through my mind. It's brilliant. Once again, similar to Death In His Grave by JMM, this song just lays out worship to Him.

"All to Jesus I surrender..."

Everyday. Wake up and that is the first thing that should come from our mouths. We must surrender ourselves to Him daily.

I just encourage you this week/weekend to think about this song and wherever you are, surrender it all.

Death in His Grave

Though the Earth Cried out for blood
Satisfied her hunger was
Her billows calmed on raging seas
for the souls on men she craved

Sun and moon from balcony
Turned their head in disbelief
Their precious Love would taste the sting
disfigured and disdained

On Friday a thief
On Sunday a King
Laid down in grief
But awoke with keys
Of Hell on that day
The first born of the slain
The Man Jesus Christ
Laid death in his grave

So three days in darkness slept
The Morning Sun of righteousness
But rose to shame the throes of death
And over turn his rule

Now daughters and the sons of men
Would pay not their dues again
The debt of blood they owed was rent
When the day rolled a new

On Friday a thief
On Sunday a King
Laid down in grief
But awoke holding keys
To Hell on that day
The first born of the slain
The Man Jesus Christ
Laid death in his grave

He has cheated
Hell and seated
Us above the fall
In desperate places
He paid our wages
One time once and for all

On Friday a thief
On Sunday a King
Laid down in grief
But awoke with keys
Of Hell on that day
The first born of the slain
The Man Jesus Christ
Laid death in his grave

Take a minute, really go back and think about the words.  What comes to mind? For me it is deffintely how much we just forget what Jesus has done for us. Yeah we get that he rose from the grave and was the last sacrifice. But do we really get it? 

He has won. 

He has succeded. 

He has reign. 

He has overcome. 

He has loved. 

            loved enough to die. 

Today, I am thankful for that Jesus. This song is just such a beautiful reminder that He never had to do anything for us. He didn't have to die, He didn't even have to wait 3 days. All in all, He could have done things so differently but He chose to do them this way. 

Lord, thank you for all that you do, have done and will do for us. We come to you humble and willing to listen. Open our minds & ears to hear your will and plan. Let us seek not the kingdom of earth but rather your Kingdom, Father. The Kingdom you built from love and beauty. Allow us to live in this life in a way that always pleases you. Protect our endeavors and provide for our needs. Lord, following you is so worth it. If it takes my life to proclaim the Truth it is yours.

(insert incessant screaming at excessive decibels)

That was the 1st down the Cardinals would need to win the game. i'm not sure i've ever been happier for a first down.

Ahhhhhh! it was such a good game. Everything about it was great. Just a tad colder than "perfect weather" because we didnt have our warm ups yet but still.. a GREAT NIGHT!

Final Score: BSU 28 - Buffalo 25
