Don't worry.......Be happy...

The stress of planning a wedding and leaving my job this friday has somewhat caught up with me. The idea of not having a job for a month (until after we get back from our honeymoon) is kinda freakin me out! And for the first time ever I've actually had to Go look for a job.
Needless to say I kind of hit a breaking point last night.

Now for the point of this blog....
My God is Seriously Amazing! I opened up my bible last night planning to read from Psalms but wasn't sure where exactly to start. So as I flipped through Psalms trying to get to the beginning of it, I randomly stopped at chapter 26-28. Little did I know that it was EXACTLY what I need! It was absolutely incredible how God showed me these verses to encourage me and open my eyes up to his majesty.

Just a few of the verses that rocked my socks off yesterday...
The LORD is my light and my salvation
       whom shall I fear?
       The LORD is the stronghold of my life
       of whom shall I be afraid?
  When evil men advance against me
       to devour my flesh,
       when my enemies and my foes attack me,
       they will stumble and fall.

It made me realize that the Devil is trying so hard to get me down, and it was working, but it also made me realize that the Lord is still my strength and encouragement through-out the day. He is going to take care of every situation and I needed to be reminded that it's not my job to worry.

Stitches

On this glorious day I walked over to Drane Hall to deliver some papers for my office. It's a great day outside by the way! Anyways, I walk up to the 3rd floor where this guys office is. I walk into his office, it seemed like pretty normal office...desk, chair, bookshelves, a few plants, pictures, filing cabinets, whatever. He seemed like a pretty normal guy as well, upper 40's, somewhat balding, goatee, whatever.
As I turn back around to leave his office I stood there facing an entire wall of shelves covered in Stitches! What are Stitches you ask?? Ya know the movie Lilo and Stitch?? Yes, that's right Stitch...the cute little blue alien. He had, i'm guessing over 100 stuffed animals of the little blue alien! Stitch in hawaiin shirts, Stitch in santa hats, BIG Stitch, little Stich, and I could go on and on. The question I ask is this...What grown man collects 100's of Disney characters and then displays them in his office? Proffessional?? I think not. Ok, so maybe he has kids and they got him a toy to put in his office. But an entire shelving unit covered in them? Seems a bit off don't ya think.

Note to self....
If I ever happen to have some strange collecting fetish, don't display it in my office. Put it in a room at home that no one ever goes in, and that just so happens to be locked and "we can't find the key Anywhere??", when people inquire as to what's in the room. Or better yet, don't collect weird crap!

Lovin this heat

I love this heat! It makes me SO happy to walk outside and it be 90 something degrees outside. Yes, it's true that I might be sweating like a pig when walking to my car, and yes, its true that as I get closer to my car I kinda start running and then jump in as fast as I can so I can turn on my air conditioner full blast and then leave it blowing full blast cause I think i'll have a heat stroke if I don't.
But it's days like today (aside from the wind) that I thank the Lord for being so good to us and for blessing us with His beauty!

Don't be Judas

So today is Sunday and I haven't been to nine-thirty in AGES! Apparently when you plan a wedding you have to go home ALOT and by ALOT I mean every weekend (just about). But due to finals I opted to stay home this weekend (shout out to my Amazing mom on Mother's Day, she has NO clue how grateful I am for her) and was really excited to be at FBC this morning! Anyways, my Lifegroup leader Bill Davis talked about Judas and his betrayal of Jesus (John 12) in his lesson this morning. How Judas sold Him out and then moments later allowed Him to wash his feet as if nothing had ever happened. Bill stressed to us the importance of not living a double life. I know we are all guilty of this. We forget to read His word, pray, tithe,or give Him praise for all the amazing things he's done for us (like giving us amazing mother's!). All these things are hypocritical. And no, we didn't sell Jesus out, but in a way we do by denying Him what's truly His and what He deserves. He is absolutely amazing and when you stop and think about everything He's done for you and given you, it's pretty ridiculous actually! This week it will be my goal to really appreciate what He's blessed me with and be able to go to church next Sunday and sit in His house and not feel like a hypocrite for denying Him what he truly deserves; our praise. So let's not be Judas!

Note to self....
When leaving the bathroom stall, make sure you have completely buttoned your pants. It leads to very awkward moments if someone happens to walk in.

On another note....

We got our cd FULL of engagement pictures from the Awesome Brooke Ogilvie! They are so good and I love the way they turned out! I've been itching for weeks to see them and they are finally here! (I sound a little full of myself since I just happen to be in Every picture!)

This last one might possibly be my favorite picture of my sweetie ever!

Lame...

So I've decided that I'm completely lame... completely lame at blogging. As I walk across campus I constantly see things that make me think, "That would be really funny to blog about!". But do I blog about those things? No. I forget. Just like I forget every other thought that passes through my mind, (just so ya know, wedding planning makes people crazy. Not crazy in that your stress about every freakin detail, but just crazy! My mind no longer functions like it used to) I seem to forget things instantaneously, and my humor has somehow just faded away. I was reading Sam's blog today, she is Hi-larious (I laughed out loud numerous times while reading it) and made me think of the super fun time we had joking with each other at the Alon banquet drinking tea from beer mugs, and how I used to be funny too. My next goal (aside from planning this wedding) will be to resurrect my sense of humor. Let's see how succesful I am!
