So I haven't written on here in about a month, my bad!! I'm not going to lie, life has been pretty fantastic. Let's see what's happened since the last time I wrote.
I moved out of my dorm! My family, Jon Michael and I had it all done by in less than an hour and a half.
I got to eat at County Line on the way home, loving the 3 hour car ride with my brother.
My family, Jon Michael, Deborah and I had a chill birthday celebration with a meal full of only appetizers. Cheese fries, potato skins, mozzarella sticks, fried rice, egg rolls, lettuce wraps, etc etc.
I started a minimester of sociology that ends tomorrow. Ten days, about 5 hours of reading a day... and about 650 pages of that massive textbook later, now all I've got is the final tomorrow.
I've been spending as much time as possible with Hannah Bratz.
Been staying up all night watching Friends with Austin.
Watched the finale of LOST, now I'm not sure what to look forward to.
Thinking/praying about Africa next summer.
Spending lazy days at the pool.
Got a flight to California.
Getting back into shape after all that college non- working.
Eating GOOD food.
Had a bbq for the sound board people... had a great time with all these people of all ages. Love my brother John Woods and sister Lindsey.
Loved the way that for some reason, when I talk to adults now, I'm considered an adult. It's weird, but kinda cool.
Saw my friend's new baby. He's beautiful.
Mastered some stuff I've always wanted to do.
Got a fantastic massage.
Killed about a million scorpions.
I love this summer. There's something about it that feels freeing. I've needed this, soooo much. It feels different than any summer I've ever had, in a really good way.
Now what's to come:
CPR class for medical professionals
a buttload of shots
YEC
microbiology
california!!

finished!
Well, I am officially done with finals.
I am officially done with work at the elementary school.
I am officially done sitting on duty and checking people out of their dorms.
I am officially done with my freshman year of college.
It's an exciting feeling. Alllllll this stress that I have had for months is over. I mean, this was a very difficult semester for me. Chemistry is not my forte. And taking two sciences at the same time is difficult. I really did not have even one blow off class.
And on top of that, I was pretty much working two jobs at the hardest point of my semester. One that I wasn't even getting paid for. I have not had 2 seconds to just have for myself in about a month in a half.
But now all that's over.
It's just me and the RA's left at UMHB. Today, I slept in until 11:30.
And tomorrow my family is coming to move me out. And then I'll be HOMEEE!!
Ah, I'm ready. There's no place like home.
God, thank You for letting me have today for myself. I have needed it!

What do I know of holy?
There's this song.
I've gone to bed listening to it the past 2 nights.
It's one of those songs.The kind that I put on my ipod and go into a coma until it's over, just to click the back button and repeat the process all over again.
It's called What do I know of holy, by Addison Road.
And let me tell you, you should immediately look it up and listen to it. http://www.playlist.com
hit this, and type in the name.
And then, take the time to really hear the song.
Because this song speaks straight to my heart.
I mean it, if I could have written a song that tells exactly how I feel, this would be it, line for line.
I put the lyrics down here, feel free to follow along. I hope it makes you think, like it does me.
I made You promises a thousand times
I tried to hear from Heaven
But I talked the whole time
I think I made You too small
I never feared You at all, No
If You touched my face would I know You?
Looked into my eyes could I behold You?
What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?
I guess I thought that I had figured You out
I knew all the stories and I learned to talk about
How You were mighty to save
Those were only empty words on a page
Then I caught a glimpse of who You might be
The slightest hint of You brought me down to my knees
What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?
What do I know of Holy?
What do I know of wounds that will heal my shame?
And a God who gave life its name?
What do I know of Holy?
Of the One who the angels praise?
All creation knows Your name
On earth and heaven above
What do I know of this love?
What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?
