It’s late. I know. Where are my days going? I feel like I am getting nothing accomplished and yet I have so much to do. My to do list keeps growing and my accomplishments list isn’t. Lesson plans keep stacking themselves up, and yet I feel like I have so much to do.
Okay a confession – the past three days I’ve been listening to 1 song hardcore. I’m so ashamed of it, but its irresitible. For some reason, it makes me smile. It makes me happy. It makes me want to get up just get crazy. The song is “Party in the USA” by Miley Cyrus. It’s a song that will just make you bod your head, move your hips, do whatever it is you do when you’re feelin’ a song. The music video was released last night for it and I was highly disappointed. She’s slutty in it… but it still makes me happy. And that’s what counts.
So my life consists of lesson planning, class, debate, and sleep. I don’t have a social life anymore. At all. It’s starting to bother me a little but I think I can get over it. For a social life, I’d need to cut one of those aforementioned activities…and only 1 is eligible to be cut.. and we all know I can’t do that – my body won’t let me. I do have to say, I”m very proud of myself for not forcing myself to go to some tournaments – it will be a battle this year, but I’m going to make it through this.
I need to get back to this blogging thing. Its something that is different in my day. I need different right now.

In the process of an extremely busy week, I’ve found time to blog [at least three little bits of info]
First bit of news: Dad swallowed today! This is the first time since early June! This is huge! God is great! Recovery is great! Recovery cannot happen without God!
Second bit of news: I’m getting paid a whole ton to do something that requires little work. It’s pretty amazing. I’m having a blast though. I can’t wait until next summer.
Third bit of news: I may have a new favorite band. They sound similar to Tenth Avenue North, the Fray, etc. It’s Parachute. I’m in the process of downloading their entire CD – but the 3 songs I’ve heard so far are incredible. Below is my favorite.

I spend my days doing various types of mathematics. I’m getting kind of sick of it. I have a busy week underway. Had my first Calculus 3 Test on Monday – that didn’t go well. His tests are a little wierd. There are 72 points on the test paper – you’re only allowed to answer 55 points. If you get 32 points, you get a 100. I answered 33 points. It took me two hours. It was insane. We now have a project due on Friday – but you have to use the Science building computers -and it can increase your test score 31% (or 10 raw points). 31% is a huge deal because a C in the class is a 41%. Oh… math. Anyways, this man thinks he is the smartest man ever.
In Modern Algebra [thanks Dr. Sanchez for making me take it in the summer], that’s also rough. My professor said yesterday, “It must suck to be yall.” Most people have a week to study for this second test, we have 48 hours. [And I'm blogging?] I have probably 30-40 note cards done. I need to do 6 more definitions, 7 more principles, and about 6 more proofs. This can be done by 3:30pm tomorrow… I need an hour to look it over. After the test/lecture tomorrow, I have to do my freaking project for Calc 3. BUT, Good news is I got an 81 on the first exam.
Dad update: He’s doing pretty good – he’s had a good week so far. He’s feeling radiation again -six more though.. that means if all goes well, next Thursday – he’s done!!! Pray that we can get this done in June and no treatment spills into July.
Friday – I’m meeting with an Emory debate coach to finish their website.
Saturday – I’m meeting with the GFCA President to finish their website.
All of this, while I have to do my own website for my camp.

confession time. eight days in vegas can do two things to you spiritually – it can severely hurt you or light you on fire. i think i was lit up as well as blown out. there are so many things that the city of sin needs… God is one of them. It was neat however to see the missionaries there and the work they’re doing. key word – the work. what would people say about the work you’re doing?
there is no better way to measure the work than to look at the church of Acts. I’ve been studying the early church of Acts recently.
In Acts 2, the power of this work is talked about. God’s work is powerful. What I like about it – is that right before this talks about this community of Christ Followers just waiting for something powerful to happen… and God keeps telling them, don’t worry– just wait… I will give you something powerful.. you will have a dangerous power of my Word.
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Acts 1:8
So during the Pentacost… the promised one shows up… and delivers a power.
“On the day of Pentecost all the believers were meeting together in one place. Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting. Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability.”
Acts 2:1-4
God deliver a power among the people now. Make our tongues on fire for you. Fill our spirit with yours!
(I’ll continue my Acts 2 journey with you in the next few days).
