Which also means happy new semester!
Can I just say this semester is kicking my butt already?!? ...but as you know I'm a kray kray and I love it :D
I'm taking 2 Religion classes (Writings of Isaiah and Mission Prep), 2 SFL classes (MFT Prep and Preperation for Mairriage), 2 English classes (Persuasive Writing and Fundamental Literary Interpretation), 1 Psych class (Personality) and one online class (Introduction to Family Processes). I am also happily employed as a research assistant for the Counseling Center and have left the good 'ol bakery for a job as a teaching assistant for HLTH460, a public health class called Substance Abuse and Addictive Behaviors... it's kind of freaking awesomely exciting! :D
This semester is going to be crazy, and I just feel really blessed, because in all the chaos of the beginning of the semester I've gotten behind a bit, and some awesome people are taking care of me from leaving lovely notes to doing my cleaning check for me! ...humans really are relational creatures huh? Sometimes I feel like songs say what I feel better than I can, and the song "So Much Love" by the Rocket Summer is the only way I can describe how I feel about my friends right about now:
Oh, I swear, I know, I believe it
Oh, I can't stop hearing all the singing
Oh, my soul has never had this feeling
and it feels like gold
You got so much love in you
You got so much love in you
I'm amazed that I'm talkin' to you
You look like the songs that I've heard my whole life coming true
And while we are on this awesome The Rocket Summer kick, I want to share this awesome song that really just reminds me that everything testifies of Christ. I know that you can twist words to find whatever meanings you want in them, but, when I heard this song this week I was reminded of the truthfulness and amazingness of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, and His love for us. I was also reminded of the great plan of happiness that Heavenly Father has set out for us, His mercy, His love. My heart kind of just filled up with peace and gratitude.
Here it is C:
Turn, look, look out and see
Do you see me?
Because I think I see you.
I've been some other place
The wind that I chase, it all just leads back to you.
Oh how I'm still, so still, it's sobering, but still I ran.
I knew you when I was young
But where am I now that I'm a man?
Run to you, I will run, I will run.
I will move right on through
All of these things that I have done.
And you'll take me back, I don't know why.
I want to say I'll never do it again,
But I can't, but I will try.
Turn, look, look out and see
Do you see me?
Because I think I see you.
I've been some other place
The wind that I chase, it all just leads back to you.
oh how I miss what you miss, but I will fall time and again
And I will say that I'm true to you,
But I'm a cheat. I don't understand.
So I'll run to you, I will run, I will run.
I will move right on through
All of these things that I have done.
And you'll take me back, I don't know why.
I want to say I'll never do it again, but I can't
I want to say I'll never do it again, but I can't
I want to say I'll never do it again, but I can't
But I will try.
It's a pretty awesome song huh? :D
Anyway, enjoy something awesome today.
The Church is True!
God is great, life is good, people are crazy AND there are only about 229 days until I turn in my mish papers!
