Fasting and Pineview

So this is my second day of fasting today and I think that I'm doing okay. I'm hungry but I know that I'll make it through! I need to pray about it and just pray in general this afternoon before I eat and make sure that I'm praying for breakthrough for me, especially in my ability to hear God's voice, and in breakthrough for Wesley and especially tonight. Oh and the facebook thing is kind of hard. Really the only reason that it's hard is because I get emails from people that wrote on my wall or something but I can't read them- even though I know they're there! But I think I'm getting a lot more work done that's for sure!
Today I'm going to sign a lease for Pineview- hopefully. I'm not sure if it's going to work out though because I have a psychology experiment from 2-4 and then I have to class check at 5... and we want to go at 4:15 to sign the lease. We'll see if it'll work out. Oh and yesterday I turned in my application for the Arch Society. I'm not sure if I'll get it but I want it and I want to just try my best. I know it's not in my hands whether or not I get it which is a huge relief but I still get kind of nervous thinking about the interview because I still want to make a good impression.
And I still haven't gotten my placement for Carver Middle School in Monroe... This means that I'm already 15 hours short and this could prove to be very bad for me and my grade and my time management soon. Right now I'm just savoring my Tuesdays off!

sunday afternoon and ruckus

Because I just recently got Ruckus I have been able to download copious amounts of music and I've fallen in love with Shawn McDonald! He's awesome! I love his album Double Take especially! And listening to Christian music all the time just gives me a good feeling and makes me happy. It's a way of reminding me constantly about my faith even when I'm just getting ready or doing homework. I've really enjoyed it. I also got some Shane and Shane and Passion CDs.
This afternoon I've been working on my application for The Arch Society which I'm excited about applying for and I've been not working on my paper for HIST 4071 on Jefferson. Crap. Well I finished the book and it's only 3 pages so I'm not too worried about it. Which is good! Tonight I have my meeting for NYC mission trip t 8 and before that I'm going to eat dinner with Sales and Allie. It'll be my last dinner for a week since I've decided to fast breakfast and dinner this coming up week. I'm excited about eating tonight and then for this coming up week being able to just pray and not focus on feeding my fat self! ha ha And it hasn't really hit me yet that I'm going to NYC for a mission trip pretty soon! I can't believe it and I have all my money so far so that's amazing! Oh and speaking of money my credit card limit just got bumped up from $500 to $2.000. Call me crazy but I don't think that happens just randomly and I'm pretty pumped about it. I mean I always pay off my credit card at the end of the month and I can't see me spending that much money in a month but still it's kind of cool. I guess it's because I always pay my card off on time? Anyway I'm excited about tonight and about this coming up week. It's going to be crazy but a good week. And I'm really nervous about this Arch Society application stuff but I'm excited about it and can't wait to start the rest of the process. And I'm excited about this week I guess. I haven't really thought about it. I'm not really doing work again- just procrastinating- so I'm gonna go back to writing my paper for history and I'm sure I'll procrastinate again soon by writing on here.

Procrastination

So I'm fasting next week at Wesley and I think I want to fast facebook, online shopping, and food in some sort of fashion. Well I haven't really been thinking about the food part that much and so I'm not sure what aspect of it I want to give up. I think I will just eat one meal a day- around lunch time? I think that would let me eat a little bit but not take away from me concentrating on the Lord in the afternoon and in the morning. I like that idea but I haven't prayed about it enough. Well the Lord is doing amazing things right now in my life but I've been watching too much tv all afternoon and so I can't focus now. I think I'll turn off the tv- finish my homework tomorrow and then go to bed tonight. I'm gonna have a quiet time tonight and then go to bed later. My brain is mush because of tv. Unfortunately...
