21

I went and saw 21 on Saturday. Contrary to what the critics said, I thought it was pretty good. I now want to read the book Bringing down the House. I always like "stick to the man" kind of movies and stories, especailly when using brain power to bring down the system. It's the rebelious part of me.

Let the fun begin

SO I finished the quarter last night with my make up mid term. I am now semi knowledgable of the Pauline letters. SO if in the future you have any questions about monotheism and dualism in the NT maybe I can help you out. Good stuff.
It's fun to think that this weekend I can do things for fun! I plan on going to the movies this weekend, not even sure what is out. Any suggestions on what to see?

Clap your hands and say Yeah!

My boss is from the Congo and she was saying that when she moved to the US, it took her a while to get used to people clapping their hands and celebrating when they were excited. Now she claps her hands and get's excited often and it's really cute. At work we acknowlege each other and clap for each other when someone does something beyond the normal expectations, my boss said this would be abnormal in the Congo. It makes me think who started this whole celebrating publically thing, and if we do it because it is cultrally expected or if we really mean it. When I clap, I mean it or I don't clap. When I shout for joy, I mean it. I am glad that it is part of my culture or I might not fit it so well if not, because it seems I get excited a lot!

I get so emotional Baby

I don't what's going on with me, but I have been having these emotional burst that come all of a sudden and they pass pretty quickly too. I was in a meeting today at work and started crying. It was a little embarrasing and it really didn't have anything to do with anything at work and I knew that.
I am processing a lot right now and working really hard to hand it over to the Lord and not let my situtions control me. And I must admit I feel like I am not letting my health concerns take control over me but every once in a while I am reminded of my weeknesses, physical, emotional, and spiritual and that can feel a little overwhelming.

This Quarter

This Quarter of school has been rough. I was pretty sick mid-way through and missed the midterm. I went on vacation right before the mid-term so I'm not sure if I would of done super great anyway. Also the subject matter we have been studying has been pretty dense. The Pauline letters and the life of Paul and all that involves.
Last night we were studying The Law. Good times. It sometimes makes me scratch my head in wonderment that people spend there whole lives trying to figure out how to interpret one specific part of scripture and what it all means. I mean I think this is good but there comes a time where you have to just trust God that he is leading and revealing his direcetion correctly. I mean we have to study the word, but I think the Holy Spirit is there to give us direction. Sometimes in theological study, it feels like we are studying old dead words, and I have to remind myseld that Jesus is alive and so is his word!

Easter Candy

Oh how I love Easter Candy. Candbury mini eggs, mmm, and the reeses peanutbutter egg is better than the cup. I think anyway.

Sicko

Well, I had a crazy week and a half. I went to Nashville last weekend for a short 2 1/2 days. It was so great to see the friends that I did get to see. My friend Kristina and her husband Jason were great host to me too. I wish I could of stayed like an extra month. But I tagged along with my brother on his beard adventure.

When I got home I was having a lot of pain in my back and I figured it was from the travel and what not. I went to the doctor and the next thing I know I was in the ER because my heart rate was elevated and I was having weird pains in my chest. Were not sure what happened but I am feeling better and am beginning a season of medical test and that sucks. I am really just frustrated with my back and it doing the things it does, mostly by causing me ridiculous amounts of pain. But I do believe in miracles and I do believe God is faithful and he does give me hope for change.
