me gustan los libros

So, I made one of my library runs yesterday and while they usually consist of me just grabbing some CDs to check out, I actually checked out three books. Now will I read every single word in these books? Probably not. Why? Because reading isn't my thing. Do I want to finish all three? So, so much. And I will do everything to finish them! That's one of the things I don't like about myself, I can NEVER finish a book, unless it's just incredibly interesting to me. The last book that I read that was like this was Radical, by David Platt and man oh man was it good.
The books I got were: Miracles, by C.S. Lewis; The Attentive Life, by Leighton Ford; and a book about martyrs that looked really interesting, that I currently forgot what it was called. The first one I started yesterday is the Attentive Life and I can already tell that I'm going to enjoy it and it's about a topic that I have really been pondering about. And first let me just say, I love that I used the word pondering. Just saying. Anywho, this book is about discerning God's presence in all things and truly paying attention to Him. I'm only a few pages in, but it's super good. Loveee.
So last night, my "big" mentioned how she was having a deep, spiritual chat with herself the other day. She said she asked herself if she could go a day without God, and then quickly realized that she couldn't. That got me thinking, and at that very moment, I asked myself that. I can't even imagine a day without God and how much I rely on Him. Then I started thinking about how much I semi-have days without Him. Yes, He never leaves, He's always there, but some days I completely ignore Him and it's basically like going a day without Him.
It's been a crazy week so far and it's only Tuesday. I'm ready for the weekend...

the break of fall

Let me first announce that I loveeeeeeee fall break with all my heart. How did I survive last year without it? I can't tell you how bad I needed two days off! And what a weekend, with those two days it was. One of the best weekends ever! I had a lot of much needed down time, but I did get some productive stuff done. Some...

Friday, Jenna and Avery arrived, which made me EXTRA happy! We went and hung out at the bell tower, which made me realize that I seriously go there and chill like three to four times a week now. Oh Moulton Tower, I love ya. Then, a short exploration of the campus...baha.
Saturday, gameday baby! It's no shocker that we won...another massacre. I'm ready for an actual football game to enjoy! Georgia State, where are you?! But that wasn't the most exciting part of my Saturday. REBA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nuff said.
Sunday, Foo's, then we went and got a smoothie with Jess. Bayfest again...woo! Skillet melted my face off as usual, and I've just now began to stop being sore. All that headbanging...you have experienced life until you go to a Skillet concert with T Hamm. Just sayin. Then, Lady Antebellum, yeah, not intentional, but it was better than getting mauled by CRAZY people at Earth, Wind, and Fire or Nelly. Scary stuff...
Monday, slept til 11 (best thing ever) watched a couple of movies and  did some history. Dinner with KJ and then a random beach trip with Maria and Savanah. Love them!
Today, studying for history with a nap involved. Oh and some Espanol thrown in there...good chill time.

I STINKIN LOVE THE WEATHER OUT! If I could marry fall...I'm clearly in love. History test in the a.m. Yay for imperialism and crap like that. Not. On the upside, we aren't marching at band tomorrow. Loveee. Rocks test on Friday. BOO! I'm ready for the weekend already. Is that normal? Oh well...

Brad Paisley in less than two weeks...OH YES. And I'm going home that weekend...I can't wait! I haven't been in like two months! CRAZY!

Hollaaaaaaaaaaaa
