Oh Happy Days

Today is a perfect day. It makes my heart happy. It is raining. Church was a great start to the day. And I am just in a fantastic mood. 

I was going to go out and play in the rain, but some friends wanted to walk to the Point (the gas station/starbucks/subway/only civilization in Caronport) and play Settlers of Catan. I wanted to come too, so I just played and danced in the rain on the way. :)

The weekend was good. There was a missions conference here and so I went to the main sessions of that. But on Friday when there was breakout sessions, I did homework instead. I'm trying to get a little bit ahead so that when I am home next weekend (which I am UNBELIEVABLY excited about!) I don't have to do too much work. I have an OT paper that isn't due until middle of Nov., but I wanted to at least pick a topic and get some books together. I think I'm just going to write about how Gen 1-11 sets the foundation for the whole Pentateuch (at whole OT for that matter). But, does anyone have any better ideas? We can also choose to pick our own topic -- so really, anything that has to do with the OT would work...

Last night was really fun, too. I watched about 3.5 hours of TV shows online with Aneca (the girl across the hall) and just had a really relaxing evening. And to top it all off, a friend's brother was here with a rap group that was putting on a concert (that I had absolutely NO desire to go to) and she sent me a package of goodies with him! It was such a marvelous surprise!

Even though I am really loving life, especially today, I still have been thinking lots about the past. I know it's not good to dwell on the past -- and I really am embracing the future -- I just miss the way things were sometimes. I miss SCS high school, I miss the youth groups I was involved in and the amazing people I got to know, and I miss my friends...my high school friends. I've just been really nostalgic lately. 

But at the same time I am still waiting anxiously and passionately for what is in store for me this year -- and for my future. 

BUT. To make my day even better and my heart even happier:

I'M LISTENING TO CHRISTMAS MUSIC!

I think I am honestly glowing right now.
