Normalcy can be a good thing...

Hello from a fairly normal Saturday. In all of the craziness that’s been going on (read: so. much. HOMEWORK!), it’s a relief to have a day to relax, work on things (it never stops), and hopefully spend tonight with Mark. Date night!!! <3

This week has been pretty much filled with homework and projects that just appear out of nowhere. Probably the #1 thing that annoys me the most in school is when a professor reassigns homework or a major project to be due sometime the next week, especially when that happens to coincide with your other 2 major projects in other classes. I promise you, if I didn’t have a planner to organize things, I would be in major trouble right now. Actually, I was wondering on how you all feel about online planners- ie Google Calendar, Apple… umm, stuff- I don’t know what it’s called on there, etc. Something about having it physically handy relieves me from having to worry about things for some reason. *shrugs*

Anyway, not too much to remark on besides the homework- I did, however, just get back from Phi Lamb retreat! It was a lot of fun- we got to stay in wood cabins!- and I really enjoyed the time to get away from campus, build relationships with the other girls, and spend some time talking to God. Speaking of which, have you all ever heard God tell you to “shut up and stop worrying”? The one thing that I take away from my quiet time was that, while I was praying, I just felt my thoughts stop, and I felt the overwhelming feeling that I was trying to take things into my own hands too much. So I stopped… and felt at peace. God’s pretty cool like that. :)

As there is homework to do, I will need to stop blogging, but I will leave you with 2 songs of the week! (One to make up for the 2nd song mistake last week… lol it just got annoying haha ;)

This is one of my favorite contemporary worship songs of all time… So I thought I’d share it and hope that you all also feel the same! It is that song for me- the one that comes back to you when you just feel the need to praise God. I love it so much.

Hillsong United – “Like an Avalanche"
And following on the actual connection between these 2 songs, I actually heard both of these songs at Sanctuary, the worship service I like to go to on Thursday nights when The Point isn’t meeting at the BCM… This is, again, that song for me. It just gets caught in your head, and I never want to let it go. <3

New Life Worship – “Great I Am”

I don't know what I'd do without my planner. I feel like I go kind of over board with it, though. I tend to write assignments down in my planner, and on little note pads on my desk, and in digital sticky notes on my computer. Not that I'm obsessive or anything... of course, there's also the fact that I feel really productive when I can finish one little assignment and then get to mark it off in three different places :P
And I don't think I'd heard either of those worship songs before, but I really liked them :)

I love planners! Physical, hold-it-in-my-hand planners are absolutely essential, especially the kind with pages for notes in the back, because I always have to jot something down.

Jotting things down is lovely, isn't it? Glad you agree :)
