April 2010
I take my chances on every day.
Sitting in the library at school right now, about to start studying Latin. I have two quizzes tonight… the last two quizzes of the semester. But I’m really cramming all of this into my brain last minute. Not a good idea. The Lord always provides for me somehow, though. I end up remembering information I never should have remembered. I hope and pray that’s how it works tonight!...
Praying for Patience and Discipline
Well, what can I say? These last two days have been quite the days. I almost want to declare yesterday National Murphy’s Law Day… because everything that could go wrong indeed WENT WRONG. Without going into tons of detail that I don’t feel like dwelling on any longer, what basically happened was this: I had two papers to work on that I barely had any time for. My group...
Two weeks left.
Finally got one paper finished today. One down, one more to go by Tuesday morning. And I barely have any time to do it. I have whatever time left before I go to bed tonight (which is soon), and then about three hours tomorrow afternoon. I may be able to get it done in three hours, but I may not. We’ll see. I may have to stay up late tomorrow night to finish it after my group is done working...
Sometimes I want to kick myself in the face.
Seriously…
I had ALL DAY to work on things. All freaking day. And did I do anything? No. What in the world is my problem? I moped around all day and was completely lazy. The more time goes on, the more I start to think that Saturdays might just be the death of me. They provoke nothing but complete idleness for me… and that is NEVER a good thing. Sunday is the day of rest. Not Saturday...
The time is fugiting.
Summary of yesterday: Worked all day pretty much. But there was some other stuff on either end of that, too. I went to look at a really cute house before work. The girl who lives in it is only 25, and she’s set it all up sooooo cute! It’s in a really safe and friendly neighborhood, which is very important also. She’s selling it with some of the furniture that’s in there,...
So may it be.
Sooo, where have I been since I last posted? Hmm… let’s see… where to begin?
Let’s start with Monday night. Myself and a few other friends of mine were invited over to the house of the loveliest woman ever, named Mrs. Jane. She used to be in our Catholic Moral Principles class a few semesters ago, but we hadn’t really seen her in a long time. She’s an older...
He's multiplying my hours like he multiplied the...
Really good start to the week so far. I mean, you pray for God to multiply the hours you have to get things done… and He answers! He helped me out big time today. My afternoon classes are cancelled both today and tomorrow. That leaves a whole lot of extra time to work on projects, presentations, papers, etc. Lord knows I need it! Obviously. So now I need to make sure I use well the time...
"When love comes to sweep you away, don't ask...
I LOVE SUNDAYS!!!! I could just leave it at that, but I’ll tell you a little bit about why. It’s mostly because of this one fact: Sunday is a day of rest that is dedicated to worshiping the Lord, resting in His love, and letting Him fill you for the rest of the week. The end : ] Seriously, God gave us a day of rest for a reason. I try to do no schoolwork on Sundays at all. The...
"Laugh as much as you breathe, and love as long as...
Okay, so… on this beautiful Sunday I thought it might be a good time to add some silly stuff to the page. This just happens to be a picture I took in the bathroom at Cane’s yesterday.
I was supposed to be meeting friends at the restaurant, one of whom was outside waiting for me… but I kind of took my sweet time inside the restroom, playing with the stuff they had on the...

(Just for the sake of saying so, this post is actually from Thursday, April 15, 2010. I just got so tired that I almost passed out in the middle of writing it and haven’t had time to get back to it until now. So just picture me saying everything then. And all will be right with the world. Sort of.) There is no way I could even begin to possibly explain to you how aweeeeesome today was!!!...

These are some photos from the past couple of weeks. I must state that they are quite random. But I still felt like sharing. So here you are… Sometimes God does really awesome things in nature and I’m there to witness it. This was one of those days. The sky was so spectacular. I just couldn’t let it go uncaptured. It was like there was this big holy blanket of light spread over...
PS!!!
I hope I can come back and post some fun stuff from last week/the beginning of this week soon… I’ll have to make the effort. I’ve got some pictures and videos that might be quite entertaining. And that’s all : ]
I'm leaving today. I'm living it and leaving it to...
So, I know I haven’t written in a while… To say the least, there’s just been a whole lot going on. School, work, friends, family, life, everything… and then there’s been all the stuff going on in my heart. Which seems to be a lot more overwhelming than all the other stuff combined sometimes. I feel like I could write a novel for you right now about where my heart is, all the things that happened...
Not enough time.
I have had absolutely NO time to post anything on here lately, even though I have SO MUCH to say! I’m going to do my best to get everything up to speed as soon as possible. But sometimes life is crazy. Kind of like now. Yeeaahhh. The end.
"...so happy to be happy in the midst of almost...
I’ve been having really good days lately. Part of me is skeptical and wonders if it’s one of those “calm before the storm” type things… but mostly, I just keep telling myself that doesn’t even matter. What matters is not what’s yet to come… what matters is right now. The present is all we’ve got! (Praying for the grace of the present moment as...
"We wake, if we ever wake at all, to mystery."
Okay, let’s see how long this goes… I have a feeling this one’s going to take a while. I don’t know why I feel the need to talk about my whole day after all is said and done, but I do… so I’m going to keep doing it. I think it’s some sort of theraputic thing for me or something. I feel better after reflecting a bit. So let’s reflect, shall we?...
After all is said and done, I know that life is...
Sad story… we didn’t take any pictures with the family, so this was the best I could get of my dress. Hope you can see enough of it to know how cute it was… even though I know this won’t do it complete justice. At the end of today, all I have to say for myself is this: I absolutely love my family, and I am more grateful than I even know for Jesus saving me from myself and...
HAPPY EASTER!!!
Getting ready for Church. I love getting to wear pretty dresses on Easter : ] My dress this year is a little short, though… Not too short where it’s completely immodest, but still… I want to be careful about it. So I might have to wear leggings with it or something. But it’s so cute, and it’s got really good Easter colors in it: purple, pink, and yellow....
"It's talking, Merry. The tree is talking."
Today. Oh, what a day. I got up somewhere around 6:00 this morning. Got ready, picked up some breakfast from PJ’s, and drove off with my good friend Sarah to the Crescent City Classic. (I tried this new frozen lemonade they had on the menu at PJ’s this morning, and it was awesome! Perfect for a day like today.) It took us a good while to park in the city, but we made it out to the race...
Oh happy fall...
Today has been work, work, work. I haven’t gotten to go to any of the Holy Week services so far. Really quite the bummer. But our circumstances shall not determine our happiness or the way the Lord chooses to reach us! He’ll reach through anything to get to us. Of that I am sure! There is still opportunity for the rest of this weekend to be fruitful yet! Lord, have your way!! Plan for...
Lightbulb!
New idea: I want to start an art collection. I have an idea in mind already. This may be my summer project. I want to call it “In The Beginning.” And it’s going to have pieces in it that are all interpretations on the beginning of creation/Genesis. Thought it might be really cool to center the start of my own creations around the beginning of God’s creation. I’m going...
All you need to know about today...
…is that everything I said was a total FAIL. All of it. Ugh. Better luck tomorrow? Let’s hope so!
