Update

tomorrow will finish my second week of college for the year. I'm tired. I need to be getting more sleep. and the lack of sleep effects my studies some. it's hard to read everything I need too (even when i'm not tired). i'm pretty excited about life and about God. I love chapels. we have them tuesday through friday every week. i love the speaker that we had today. he came quite a few times last year too. Adrien Duprei. look him up. he's great. anyway chapel is great cause there is hundreds of people in a room praising God and then they have a lil sermon thing. it's tight. and I have a great roommate. His name is Philip. I didn't live on campus last year, but I stayed overnight quite a bit and i stayed with Philip and his roommate most of the time. so Phil and i know each other. and he keeps me accountable for stuff and we pray together every night. I'm so incredibly blessed and I want to live my life completely for God. i have problems with living that out sometimes though. i can pray about that though and ask God to work it out, to focus me entirely on knowing Him and doing His will. i also have so much good teaching coming at me. I like all of my classes this sememster. Hermeneutics (interpreting the Bible), Intro to World Christian Movement, Communicating God's Word, Video Production 1, and Web Page Design and Development. I have to admit, it's tough getting all the work done. and honestly, I don't always get all the reading done. but somehow I'll make it. Philippians 4:13 -- "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
I'm going to a USC vs. Clemson soccer game tomorrow with my dad and brother. one of my good counselor friends from camp, Maggie, may be coming to the game as well so that'll be cool if i get to see her again. Saturday morning I'm going to a lake with my family and some family friends and I'll be there till Monday. I need to get a good bit of homework done over the weekend, but hopefully i'll have some time to relax. and i'm really really hoping that I get to go tubing. I absolutely love tubing. speeding over water, getting sprayed in the face, the wind rushing over you.... mmmm. that's a lil piece of heaven.
well, I need to talk to God some before I close my weary eyes. peace.
