Bible Readin

So, me and a bunch of friends of mine are reading the Bible together. The cool part is that half of us dont even live in the same town. So its a great way to study God's word and stay in touch with my friends. The book we are going through right now it Ephesians. Its actually one of my favorite books of the Bible. Paul speaks so greatly about God. everytime I read through it I am in aw of him. I have felt bad because the last 2 books we have read through I have kinda drifted away from my reading. Now I have a time set aside to do my devotions tho. I am really excited about it. even though I did miss my reading time today but I made up for it and read it about 30 min ago. Anywho, I cant wait till tomorrow's reading. . . . . .

Music Major

So, this is my first semester as a declared music major in performance. And let me tell its ALOT harder then last year. Get this, for my lessons last year each week I would have a snare piece a marimba piece and some timpani exercises. I just had my first lesson today and guess what I got. . . . . . . ALOT MORE MUSIC!!!!! I have 3 marimba pieces, all of which being 4 mallet, 1 vibraphone piece, which is also 4 mallet, 1 snare piece, a duet mallet piece with someone, some timpani, and next week we will add some drum set to it!!! For those who think that's not alot then you dont know music very well. It takes a butt load of practicing to perfect one piece and now I have 7 to perfect. And that's not even counting my percussion ensemble pieces. haha All I can say is BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!

I realized. . . . . .

So, today as I was driving home from school I realized for the first time how much I really miss having my 2 best friends around. Those 2 friends being Tony and Jon. When one wasn't here the other one always was. I realized how weird it was not being able to hang out with one of them whenever I wanted and it kind of got me thinking. . . . . . .
Jon moved to Iowa and Tony is at Nicolet, yet I am still here. Do I feel left behind? In a way I do. they have both moved on to different phases of their lives and yet I am still here doing the same thing. Then the more I thought about it I realized again that I already am doing what I truly feel God wants me to do right now. If all goes to plan I should be attending Moody after Parkside. So my time will come eventually.
Then after that what I realized the most was that God has his own timing and plans for my life. Just because I am still here in good ol' Kenosha doesnt mean I need to feel left behind or unfulfilled. If I put all my trust in God everything will happen in his time.

But just to throw this out, Jon and Tony, I really miss you guys!!!
