This or That

I decided to copy Ellerslie's Student Blog and do a this or that myself...just for fun! I am taking a break from reading for class :)

I think you, reader, should answer the questions also!

1. Ice Cream vs. Frozen Yogurt?
Ice Cream... haven't had frozen yogurt much! I bet it is delish though :)

2. Kindle vs. Book in Hand?
Book please! Kindle's are neat but I am a lover of books...smells, texture, :) Especially old ones where they pages are yellow-y.

3. Carpet vs. Hardwood?
Hm, hardwood is much more beautiful but carpet makes it warm. I think I will go with the Eric Ludy answer-hardwood with a beautiful, fluffy rug on top!

4. Camping vs. Hotel?
Oh man, that is a hard one..I LOVE camping, but hotel visits are fun. So it depends! Camping has a slight edge though :)

5. Car vs. Bike?
Car for sure! I haven't ridden a bike in a LOT of years! Plus I'm a chicken!

6. Hot chocolate or coffee?
I drink a lot of hot chocolate at Christmas time, but otherwise a coffee and tea drinker! I love both!

7. Sweater or sweatshirt?
Sweater! I used to be a sweatshirt-all-the-time girl, but I hardly wear them anymore..they aren't as comfy as I used to think.

8. Fallen leaves or fallen snow?
Hm, either! Beauty!

9. Sunny or Rainy?
Both! My favorite time is the summer when there is both at once! Gorgeous, refreshing, beautiful-smelling rain storms mixed with lightning and thunder and dark grey skies, then suddenly sunny sunlight with birds singing! Ah :)

10.Oceanside or Mountain Peak?
I'm a mountain girl... Ocean is beautiful but send me out to the pine trees with a pup, a book, journal and the smell of the forest, looking up through the branches to the blue skies...that is where I love to be, I belong there!

11.Food: Something New or Steady Favorites?
Steady favorites... I do try new stuff every so often though :)

12. Journal: Paper or Computer?
Paper all the way...tried to computer thing and it isn't for me. I love me some writing.

13.Scheduled or Spontaneous?
Probably a mixture of both... things that need to be scheduled...please keep them scheduled, thanks! Things that don't need to be, spontaneous is a good measure of adventure!

EXCITED!!

I think I have written and thought the word..."excited" more times than ever before in one hour! :) I just wrote a friend *wink wink-she knows who she is!* an email and have been thinking about stuff and I seriously said and thought...excited about a million times! Okay, not "seriously" but pretty much!

Today marks my first official day back to classes for this semester. My last one of just course work..next Fall-student teaching! Eeek! Tomorrow, God willing, is my first day back to see everyone at the BSU, haven't seen many of them for over a month..I miss them. I'm working on getting all my stuff organized. I just got a new study bible that I have cracked open to start falling more in love with the Word and the One who wrote it all! I am working on memorizing 2 Corinthians 10:3-5! I am going to restart Wrestling Prayer by Eric and Leslie. My classes are all going to be online this semester...except for one..so I am going to get this amazing gift of more time outside of class..more time to do things in a timely manner because I am free to choose how to use my time (pray for me please!) I may be doing some discipleship. I am going to start a bible study soon - Beth Moore I believe (awesome!)

So many exciting things...basically I see and know the provision, the favor of God Almighty in my life! He is GOOD! He is GREAT! He takes care of me like the little sparrows of the air :) He has called me much more valuable than they are!

May the God of my life get all the glory! I am just so excited :)

Quick note..

There are so many blessings... yet I struggle to die to my flesh..to crucify it completely. I live in this body of death, as Paul puts it. Yet I STILL BELIEVE that it is His indwelling Spirit that gives me strength...He leads and guides and loves and lives through me! He is gracious enough to dwell within this sinful vessel. Amazing! I asked Him to and I believe that He will...He is going to teach me how to be in a constant communion with Him, living and walking in His Spirit, because I do not know how to do it on my own! I can't do it on my own! Isn't that the point? He is so merciful and oh so faithful!

It is a new year! Well it is the 5th day of the new year and it is going to be beautiful! I say this not because I "choose" to see it as beautiful or because I have faith in myself or in any human in my life, but because I believe in His most precious and holy promises to be with me! In His presence is the FULLNESS of joy! (Ps. 16:11) He IS love and light..how can anything be "bad" when I truly belong to Him!?
