Going Home...
Wow... I have been looking forward to this all semester.
Besides Labor Day, this is the only vacation Freed-Hardeman has all semester! And I had to wait 9 weeks to get it!!! What is that?
I'm so excited to go home. I get to see my physical fam and church fam all at the same time. I also get to drive mom's car too! WOOHOO, I'm sorry, but I need a break from my car. NOT A DIVORCE, just a break! I am currently experiencing my first contreversial business decision. The focus has 96,000 miles on it. By the end of this semester I will have atleast 100,000 miles because i have to make the 2,000 mile trek to Houston twice! Not only the high milage, but I also have to replace a clutch, brakes, and shocks within the next fews. It doesn't get any more major than that except for the transmission and engine to go out (save a fiery explosion due to a hole in my gas tank.) So, should I take the repair money and invest in a newer car, or should I take my chances and risk that the car will last for another 50 - 100,000 miles more? Due to extreme cheapness and restricted funds, I'm afraid I will have to take my chances with the repairs. God help me (no for real, that's a prayer!)
Have you ever almost not went to go to church because you didn't think it would be uplifting? Yeah, that was me last night. I dreaded going to church because of several things. The main reasons being that the church is 20 minutes away, I was spiritually drained, andI had a take home test and an 8 page paper due. The only reason I felt compelled to go was because I left my Bible there the sunday before and I wanted it back! So I went, and boy I'm glad I did. The lesson itself wasn't something my heart yearned for, but what happened afterward shocked me. The instructor asked us to break off into groups of 4 for prayer time! (uncommon for this part of the country) After we settled, a girl volunteered to start! Unbelieveable! We all shared our prayers for about 10 minutes and it was so good for me. Although I think the situation was still new to them and they showed a little akwardness about it afterward, it was what I needed! A breath of fresh air away from traditionalism, conservatism and closed minds and hearts. A place that was, for a moment, and haven of prayer and comfort. It changed my week! I even wondered it was divine providence that I left my bible in the first place. Praise God!
