omg today is GLORIOUS. this weather is incredible. it puts me in an amazing mood. oh man things are great. i worked my butt off for english last week, so i really dont have any homework tonight. i came home to change, then went and ran about 2 miles at the nature center. then i drove around near lake springfield with the windows down and music loud! wow god is good! im gonna do some writing/reading (not for english, but for myself!) and then go watch the faculty/student basketball game. ill come home and spend some time thinking about/preparing for Happening and talking to buddies! woo hoo. and to top it ALL off...panera in the morning and im going to Sweetheart after all!

ps.! i am probably getting published in our school literary magazine! yay!

you know that feeling...when you feel like there is absolutely nowhere you belong? its that realization that God smacks us upside the head with every once in a while that says, "Hey! I'm the only One that matters" sometimes it takes a lot of loneliness before we realize that this isnt where we are supposed to be. we arent supposed to feel like this is where we belong, because we werent made for this. we were made for a better place. unfortunately, that smack upside the head can still hurt pretty bad.

yay for stealing stuff from shannon!
