--- maybe i should do a new post. maybe. but i don't really feel like it. or maybe it's just that i don't have the time to do it. i dunno which. probably a combination of the two. but guess what--here i sit--writing a post.
--- so i have accomplished the first thing--and that is actually sitting down, clicking the button "create post" and taking the time to start writing. but now is the decision, what DO i write about?
--- i could talk about college...but that is kinda boring and dull i'm sure. college is just college. it's full of stress. and homework. and exams. and intenseness. and hardly time to think and breath. but right now it's the weekend, and it's Saturday, and it's a happy day, so let's not talk about the stresses college is putting upon me.
--- then there's the fact that it's november...already! i really really really cannot believe that. that means that on the 13th, i have ONE MORE MONTH of school and then it's off to Christmas break. i found out depressing news the other day...and that is that college starts back on the 2nd of January already, and not the seventh. see, we have to fit in eight weeks of school, plus eight weeks of preceptorship BEFORE my May write [provincial nursing exam]... yes, that exam is as scary as it sounds. you pass, and you're a nurse. you fail, and you're not a nurse. as easy as that [with one exception of a rewrite]... but just think, by June i'll be graduated! Yahhhhhh! hard to believe. really. but it will come. soon. very soon. but here i go, talking about college again. and i wasn't going to do that. so on we go.
--- what else? not much. i "batched" it with the brother for ten days. that was kinda fun. plus now Mom is gone AGAIN! which means i've been doing the "Mom work" again. with one day break in between batching and taking over again. hey, it's really not that bad though :]
--- probably by now i have you all bored blue. i'm sorry. there's just nothing thrilling in my life right now. other than the fact that my car got backed into at Tim Hortons, i got attacked by a dog, a freaky lynx has been hanging out in my back yard, and wolves are howling quite close to my house at night. that's the top Kenora news... but look--i survived it all! :}
--- coffee's free at MacDonald's [happy news for a college student]--so that means coffee and blueberry muffin's. yah! i got two scarves for $15. yah! i started Christmas shopping. yah! and now i'll shut up.
--- life is good. today a friend posted this verse. it was a good reminder. Psalm 63:1 O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
--- and i've been studying my Sunday school lesson which i happen to be teaching tomorrow. a phrase that really stuck out to me was "...He [Jesus] can use us if we are empty, surrendered vessels for Him [Jesus] to fill..." and so that is my desire. to surrender myself fully and humbly over to my Saviour, to be an empty, vessel that only HE can fill.
