Running by Moonlight

I just had the most glorious run...ever!! It was truly fantastic. I never get to run at night at home because it's dangerous for me to run alone and my neighborhood is kind of shady. But tonight I was outside gazing at the stars and enjoying the bright moonlight, and I just had the stongest feeling from God that I should go for a run. So I did...2 miles, and it was so delightful!! :)

I also finished up my data set for my econometrics paper tonight, and I have run my regression analysies, so I'm just working on compiling all of my data into a paper and making it all look good. Although, I did notice tonight that my paper isn't due until next Friday. I thought it was due on Thursday, so it's nice to have the extra day even though I will hopefully be mostly done with it by Tuesday.

Tomorrow I need to finish my Spanish homework and start working on my Psychology paper. My English paper is getting shoved to the back burner because it isn't due until later, but I do need to get started on the family Christmas letter here soon.

I started listening to Christmas music today, and I got the tinest bit excited about winter...just a little, tiny bit. I told my mom that and she asked: "So do you want to go to Montana for Christmas?" Which I responded to with a very adamant "Hell No." So you know how I feel about that.

Well, I'm gonna call it a night...sweet dreams...safe!

Called Beauty

I'm listening to Pandora right now, and the song that is on is Love Song . I'm not sure what exactly that has to do with my life at the moment, but thought I would share it with you all. In fact, I feel rather at a loss as to what I should say as I sit here eating sweet potatoes. I had a lovely run with my roommate, B, today. We both decided that it is much more fun to run with someone than to run outside alone...not to mention smarter as our neighborhood isn't the greatest. Running feels so awesome now. I am getting new running shoes tomorrow, and I'm really excited about them. The lady at the store let me go out on the sidewalk and run back and forth to test them out when I went today to look, and they just felt really amazing. Switching Subjects... I have never really had many guy friends. I'm not sure why. I think part of it had to do with the fact that for a while I was really scared of men in general. Then I went through a men disliking period (I refuse to say

learning to savor

I was asked today if money wasn't an object, if I didn't have to work, if I could do anything in the world, live anywhere in the world, what would I do? I wanted to give her a thoughtful answer, a truthful answer, so I thought about it. If I could do anything what would I do? My heart leapt within me at the thought. It's one of those rare opportunities where you just allow yourself to dream for a minute of a perfect world. What would that world look like? I knew within myself what I would do, and I did my best to express it to this lady. I would have a house on the beach. It would be a safe place, a resting place, a refuge. It would be open to anyone who wanted to come. I would have tea every afternoon with my friends. I would cook and bake. I would work in my garden in the backyard. I would spend hours in communion with my Beloved. I would take walks on the beach, watching the sunset. I would sit on my front porch and soak up the day and night. I would savor life, and I wo

I say Hi!

I have discovered the secret to avoiding awkward situations... things are only awkward if you make them awkward. Think about it. We take our cues from the people around us. If someone else is trying to make you feel awkward, and you just ignore it and go on with life...then they will stop. I was in a situation tonight that could have been awkward, if I had made it that way, but I choose not to. As a result I ended up having a great conversation and was very encouraged and uplifted from it. Anyway...this is going to be short because it has been a very long day and I have a lot of homework to do tomorrow...so tomorrow is going to be a very long day. We finally covered Philippians 3 in Bible Study tonight...so excited to move on. Also, I am greatly enjoying playing chess with a good friend...we are having about a weekly match up. Good times!! I'm getting better, so we'll see if I'm able to eventually pull off a win. Funny how God grants little desires of our hearts. I always k
