thoughts

I am going to be quite happy when school is over...
I found out today that my final (which I thought was 2 weeks away) is actually next week,
and that I'm making a B in a psychology course which is super easy.
I didn't do as well on my midterm as I thought...grr

So, yes I will be happy when the 15th-ish rolls around and I will be done with this semester!

On a lighter note, Dan is coming home soon.
If you don't know Dan, he is a missionary in St. Marc, Haiti.
He decided a few months ago to retire to Haiti to help out in a school.
I wish we had more Dans on the planet!

I cannot wait to hear his stories,
and look through pictures!
To have him around for a bit,
he is seriously missed by so many people!

We had youth tonight, and Mindi spoke on having a craving for a deeper prayer life.
It was an amazing sermon, and really just clicked.
We make time for the internet, television, even everyone around us...
but we don't make time for Him.

It is quite sad really,
to think that the Creator of the Universe wants our attention and we don't "have time" to give it to Him.

She said that what you eat, you crave.
You put junk in, you crave junk.
You put healthy food in, you crave healthy food...
Same principle with prayer:
you put God in, you crave Him more.
You pray more, you start to crave it.
You read more, you start to crave it...

As a side note to that realization..

I realize my complete lack of priorities and motivation lately!
Its sad, but I really get tired of the same routine all of the time.
So, I just stop doing some stuff...or do it half hearted.
But, i'm trying to get more focused with it!
It just seems like there are not enough hours in the day...

weird.

Life has been pretty good lately.
I have a few bumps that are tough to get over,
but that isn't anything new!

I have a few relationships that seriously need mending,
I just have been realizing how much I love the people in my life.
Its not that I don't like to be alone, trust me...I need it,
but I love having people around.
I love thier laughs, their smiles, their hugs...

They just make things more enjoyable!

Friendships grow apart so easily,
I miss a few of them dearly.

I miss my friends that live so far away, but are still close.
And those who are close, but seem so far away.

I think it honestly goes back to the priorities things!
Keeping what matters at the top and letting the rest fall in how it may...
