| "If God Calls You To Something, He'll Give You the Power to Do It...."
If God Calls "You To Something, He'll Give You the Power to Do It...."
At least, that's what Robert said at the college service tonight... And it's true--and comforting.
I
just wish I knew the details about what God is calling me to. Judging
by the way the rest of my life goes, I'll spent hours contemplating the
future, only to have something huge happen at the last minute... Most
major things seem to happen on the deadline for me, with little or no
warning. God sure does like to suprise me.
And I like being
suprised. Even though I'm somewhat of a control-freak, I like looking
back over my life and seeing how everything worked out: adopting my dog
Penny, getting the scholarship, deciding on Baylor, taking a year off,
doing IHOP-ATL, going to Spain last summer... The list goes on and on.
The BICers just read Bobos in Paradise for
Social World II. It's a "philosophy book" commentating on modern
American culture. Not that I agree with everything, but it did make me
reconsider some things about my life. Much of the book discusses
typical academia-initiated cycle: college education, grad school,
internship, job, promotion, making $$$, spending $$$.... Education is
good, and money is good (one must eat). But is that really what I want
to do?
I know everything is in it's right place for now. But
I feel kind of lost, like I don't know where I'm headed. I'm wondering
if my life is about to shift again... Ok God. Now what?
Sometimes
I almost wish I didn't have so many options. There's a lot of
responsibility in my life now--the clubs, activities, and GPA I have
now will affect the future. So far, I feel extremely blessed. I don't
feel like I do anything to make the pieces of my life come together,
but they do.
I just don't know what the pieces of my life are
coming together to make. Whatever God and I make with my life, I don't
think it will look too traditional.
And while I'm here
thinking, life continues on: Summer school will be a new experience,
especially with many of my friends gone. And then I'll be in Europe for
the fall. | | |
| The Super-Duper TCU Island Party Adventure
Lexis and I went to Ft. Worth today for the TCU Island Party. Such an adventure!
When
Lex and I got there, I told her that one of the guys on stage looked
like my friend Eric from Baylor. A few minutes later, I realized that
it actually was Eric. lol.
Then Jeff Mathena played. He's funny, so listen closely if you ever hear him. And, of course, he has nice songs!
And
then GRO played. I would elaborate, but I'm hoping it's not
necessary... seeing as the mileage on my car has GROwn by a lot in the
past year. Speaking of which--April 25, 2006 was my first GRO concert
at the Hippodrome in Waco. lol. I really shouldn't know that... I went
all by myself, only because Jamey sent a random myspace message to
people in the Waco area. I'm SO GLAD I went that day. My life would be
very different if I hadn't stumbled upon them.
When Lex and I
went out to my car to get our hoodies (for hoodlums like us need
hoodies), my car wouldn't unlock with the button. Uh-oh. And then it
wouldn't crank, or anything. I
crawled out the passenger door because I parrallel-parked on a busy
street, and so my automatic lights didn't turn off... Ooops. (Hey, it
happens to everybody at some point.)
Luckly, some of Lex's
friends from Dallas were in Ft. Worth at a rodeo only a couple minutes
away, so they came and jumped us off. Picture a gigantic Dodge Ram
pulling a massive horse trailer (with horses in it) parked in the
middle of the street next to my car, right across from TCU. It was a
Kodak moment, but I didn't think about it at the time.
So Lex's
friends followed us to her house in Dallas (horses and all) and then we
all swam in the pool. So it was a good night, after all.

| Dallas Dirt....Well, I'm in Dallas with Lexis (my friend, not a car)! Yippee!!! The
Dallas International Guitar Show started today. Invisible Children had
a benefit / video showing too. I ran into some Baylor people at the
Common Grounds booth--which made me want CG hot tea. Josh Jenkins (of
Green River Ordinance) was my favorite of the musicians I saw--but him
alone is definitely a much different sound than GRO. I also liked the
style of the drummer in Radient...
But that's not the dirty part.
On
the way to my car, I was walking on grass talking to Lex when I
suddenly found myself knee-high in black muck. It was liquidy enough to
let me sink quickly, but gooey enough to create a thick layer on my
pants, shoes, and entire arm. Why my arm? Because I had to reach in up
to my elbow to retrieve my shoe! When I went back to wash up, the
security guard wouldn't let me in because she couldn't see the stamp on
my hand. Well, duh--my entire arm was black. So I went in another
entrance and snuck into a bathroom. At least it was memorable! | | |
| School, Music, and Stuff...Hmm...
Yes, it has been a rather crazy week... School is going full force,
Pulse is finishing up, PAD just had elections, I'm meeting all the KD
girls, and Diadeloso is tomorrow.
Derek Webb plays a
12-string, just so everyone knows. Common Grounds packed a huge crowd
inside Sunday night to hear him play. He's got a new CD coming out in
May--based on what I heard Sunday, I want it. Of course, my favorite is
still "Wedding Dress."
And I just got back from a Common Grounds
Invisible Children Concert. A few bands played, including Whitney
Whyte, Austin Pitzer,and James Callihan. Ethan Durelle headlined--I
hadn't seen them since a Canvas Waiting show freshman year. None of the
bands tonight were "my style." Sigh. But I got to visit with some
friends, so the evening wasn't a waste!

Deliver me out of the sadness
Deliver me from all the madness
Deliver me courage to guide me
Deliver me Your strength inside me

All of my life
I've been in hiding
Wishing there was someone just like You
Now that You're here
Now that I've found You
I know that You're the One to pull me through

Deliver me giving and sharing
Deliver me this cross that I'm bearing
Oh, deliver me

How I've proved You o'er and o'er
Jesus, Jesus precious Jesus
Deliver me
Come and pull me through
Come pull me through | | |
