Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12:1-2

Spring Break

Here I am again! Staying always consistent with my every-two-months blog entry. I feel like I have a fairly legitimate excuse ... this semester seriously hit me like a hurricane. I didn't know what the word 'busy' meant until January began. I thought I had had a stressful semester before ... now I know that I definitely hadn't had one until this spring. I guess this can be attributed to the addition of some pretty tough classes and a part-time job. Medical Terminology and Technical Writing have basically raked me over the coals. Even though it's been rough - I've learned so much and I'm definitely thankful for new opportunities.

I'm home for break this week. I've packed a pretty tight schedule, consisting of homework and lots of Netflix. I'm so ready for a week consisting of ... absolutely nothing. It's such a great feeling. You know that little nagging conscience you are plagued ... err ... blessed with during a semester? Every time you do something relatively unproductive it's always nagging at you to get moving. Well, thankfully that has been paused for a week! I'm ready for non-productive-ness. :)

God has been teaching me a lot about being satisfied in Him and who he is; realizing that He is consistently faithful and good. I feel like I'm constantly at war with my emotions. I listened to a lot of Tenth Avenue North on my drive home today. I'm pretty sure that band has some of the most applicable and encouraging lyrics I've ever heard. They're simplistic, but powerful.
"Empty my hands, fill up my heart, capture my mind with You." Good stuff.

Well, pizza's ready. Have a great week :)
