(If that makes ANY sense)
Happy last day of summer! I have (hopefully) only one year left of college! While it is a scary thought, I have a feeling that this is gonna be the best year yet!
To begin with, I really didn't get much of my to-do list accomplished.
I got 1-4 done . . . though I only finnished half of my #2, and #4 . . . the more movies I got, the more I added to my list :/ I accoplished #9. With all the weddings I have photographed this summer I have easily added about 6000 pictures to my computer. #20 I got done . . . if you consider $50 a cushion, lol. #23 was completed, as was #27, and #28 as well...ish. I really, REALLY wanted to do more, like go to the art museum, the zoo, and ride a blasted Ferris wheel, but I suppose my time will come . . . eventually. *weeps dramatically*
What I DID get to do was get hired to do wedding photography, spend lots of time with my friends, ride the greyhound home to visit for a week with the boyfriend, and I made a lovely maraca with the little daughter of my host family. I had a paint fight with my friend Hannah, got to take my mom shopping and show her my school when she and grandpa came through town, and I got to have a picnic with my boyfriend :) From sleep overs with friends and a late night excursion in the Old Market, to anime marathons, to hours of writing from my free study, this summer has been absolutely amazing and such a blessing.
I have been thinking about writing out things I want to do this school year, but I think I will just let you know what comes my way.
So . . . I am not sure of what else to write about. Just spent half an hour talking with a friend on how wonderful our boyfriends are. Finished moving in to the dorms today. Finally installed the software for my printer on my computer. I accidentally spilled the energy drink, Venom, all over my pants earlier today. I also discussed printer ink with two gentlemen at Walmart this evening. And now, I am tired. Off to bed for me.
Random Act of the Day: I actually wrote out a shopping list . . . and used it . . . o.O
Current Contemplation: First night sleeping in my dorm bed! I'm gonna miss my double size mattress....
Till Another Day!

Kingdom Matters
Greetings!
It's been a while, and a short nap earlier is kinda keeping me up. *groans when thinking of the long day tomorrow will be*
Where to begin?! In church today, Ben went over Luke 12: 13-32. It wasn't a money sermon, nor was it a body sermon, it was a Kingdom sermon. One part that stuck with me was when he talked about verse 24, "Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds?" Back then ravens were considered as rats. That puts a whole new perspective on that verse! Remember being young and thinking of birds just in general thinking, "ok, cool!"? Luke isn't talking about just any birds, but the filthy, sick scavengers! And if God provides for the lowest, dirty pests, how much more will He take care of us? He went on to talk about the difference between our needs, wants, and greeds. There is more to it, but I left my notes in my car :/
Also, today the minister from the Audubon church (Dwayne) came to visit A2 (Heath preached today). Though it was fantastic to see him, fellowship with him, and worship beside my brother in Christ, it was a big disappointment to find out that the elders of the church, who were supposed to be at A2 today as well, made last minute excuses to not come. As much as it saddens and nearly angers me, it disappoints me. Heath and Dwayne have been working to grow the body of Christ at the church in Audubon, and the elders, the men who are leaders of that part of the body, will not put the effort in to edify and build the Body and Kingdom. If the adults aren't willing to get out of their small town, apprehensive boxes, there is no way we can expect Christs Church to grow and be strengthened.
ANYWHO . . .
My summer has been FANTASTIC! Working, relaxing, hanging with Heath and my friends, working on my book, and all that jazz. I have taken pictures at three weddings this summer, and have two more before school starts. It is SO nice to have a job with some sort of decent income!
This week is gonna be crazy but good. I work 20 hours this week, and on Tuesday Hannah and I are gonna have a girls afternoon out Goodwilling and shoppin before going to chill with another girlfriend. God has blessed me with such wonderful friends :)
Random Act of The Day: read through some my bf's xanga posts *shhh!* yes, I'm a creeper <3
