Lil' update/Awkwards & Awesomes

'sup ya'll. I just wanted to do a quickie update and let you know that though I feel it on the inside due to all that studying, I am in fact NOT DEAD. Just totes cray busy up 'n hurrr.
I cannot believe that I am more than halfway done with my first term!  

Here are some awkwards and awesomes for the last few weeks:
Awkwards

  • thinking my headphones were plugged in to my computer while I was listening to an australian man teach me the basics of the stretch reflex on youtube while sitting on the silent floor...they were not plugged in...everyone could hear.
  • when people wear sunglasses inside...weird!
  • trying to eat my applesauce without a spoon. Essentially I was drinking it...not the quietest way to go about consuming food (again on the silent floor!)
  • when the automatic toilet flushes whilst you are...ahem...taking care of business.
  • when the worker at the dining hall calls you "sweetie"...
  • sneezing super loudly (on the silent floor of the library)
  • when people who are not from the south say ya'll (kind of like I just did...pot calling kettle black, maybe?)
    • I think it makes a difference when it is said with distinct midwestern accent...just sayin'.
Awesome
  • my best friends. You know who you are. I am continually blown away by the way they show their love to me, even from 2000 miles away!
  • my friend Nina who is also from the northwest and understands my Oregon snobbery. 
  • when people give birth. Congrats Ian and Sarah on becoming parents to little Greyer!
  • my Beavers moving up to #10 in the nation!
  • wearing cowboy boots to school. sorry I'm not sorry!
  • planning my wedding (it's never too early, right?)! I have been going to TOWN on my pinterest wedding board
  • getting my white coat! See? (ps she is from Corvallis too!)

I am thankful for this fall weather, for my church, and for the friends that I have made. The Lord is always good, always faithful. To all my Corvallis friends, I love you all and I miss you dearly.

Beautiful Letdown.

Image
It was a beautiful let down When I crashed and burned When I found myself alone, unknown and hurt It was a beautiful let down The day I knew That all the riches this world had to offer me Would never do. In a world full of bitter pain and bitter doubt I was trying so hard to fit in, fit in, Until I found out I don't belong here . (Beautiful Letdown, Switchfoot) Sometimes, I am so easily distracted. Have you ever noticed that it's when you are doing something important, like homework, chores, QUIET TIME WITH THE LORD, that all of a sudden your mind gets filled with all these "super important" (not really, though) things that just skip a million levels on the priority ladder? Since when was checking the weather more important than seeking the face of God early in the morning? The answer is never; it's never more important. I just get distracted from what is important. This past weekend, I heard something incredibly profound. A pastor said that as we grow in fa

It's ok to not be ok.

I’m not alright, I’m broken inside {broken insiiiiiiiide} If you grew up listening to positive, encouraging, K-LOVE, you likely recognized those words from a Sanctus Real song (and if you don’t, worry not, you aren’t really missing anything). While sometimes I’d like to think that I’ve evolved into this authentic, cool Christian who is obviously too cool for mainstream Christian music, sometimes the Lord chooses to humble you by making you cry with a cheesy Stephen Curtis Chapman ballad circa 1999! I can’t explain it, it just happens sometimes. At any rate, this song has been speaking so deeply to my heart, because it has been a rough season for me lately. I think that a lot of times as Christians, we equate living the “good Christian life” with having everything look good on the outside for people. For me personally, I think that my life probably looks pretty awesome from the outside, and for a while, I was okay with people thinking that it was an accurate portrayal of how I’m
