Hmm...so life lately. Well the first couple of weeks back I spent a lot of time missing Austin and especially the people there (most of whom actually aren't there atm) which kinda put me in a little slump. I mean, it's not that I was depressed or anything, I just got rather lazy and this began to translate over into my spiritual life. This spiritual slump is something I went through last summer which was rather sad as I had ended the year on a pretty high note. And I don't want that to happen again, so I've decided to fix that.
How am I going about this you ask? Well to start off, I've started saying this St. Jude (becamse I myself am a lost cause =) )novena that I got from Keith E. as a gift the past awakening. It's been really nice and making myself start and end each day with prayer has just been awesome. I've always struggled with starting the day off with prayer, and you really notice a difference when you do and when you don't. So even when this novena is over, I'm going to make a conscious effort to start off each day with some sort of prayer.
Another awesome thing that's just come up recently that will definitely help in my spiritual life is that I've been asked by my old youth minister, Doug Weisbruch, to help out with the high school youth group at our church over the summer. Seriously, what better opportunity to not only strengthen my faith life, but to help others grow in theirs at the same time? Also, I'm going to be helping out with the guys' bible study (they separated genders since they'll have different topics) which should be really good as I've been slacking quite a bit in the bible reading department since starting college.
As the summer progresses, I'm hoping to build on this and maybe return to school having had grown deeper in faith as opposed to having fallen back a bit? That'd be nice haha.
Hmm this is a bit shorter than I thought it'd be. I started this like 3-4 hours ago, but got distracted by YouTube. Again. Namely live Glee videos. =D
On second glance, this really isn't that short haha. Yay! =p
And it's almost 5 am. Eek!
Oh, man. Glee. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteI TOTALLY empathize with you, both in missing ATX and all the kids there, as well as with the spiritual hurdles that seem to come with the summer time...I'll probably be blogging about such soon myself. :D
That does sound like you've got a pretty awesome opportunity there though - be sure to blog about it and let us all know how it goes! :D
also, that video link you posted - I really dig when the rest of them join her on stage and you can see how even THEY are blown away by her talent.
Good Lord! 5 am haha.. glad things are going better. and good to hear from you again :)
ReplyDeletethat's totally awesome that you get to work with your youth group....it's so rewarding let me tell you!! and it'll be a good taste of STRONG :) and we're all missing you too apples!
ReplyDeleteand lea michele is just too good!!! omg lol
5AM!?!?!?!? In addition to your future roommates taking inventory of your closet, they will also have to create a website or something letting everyone know your sleep schedule...if they can stay up long enough to keep up. Anyway why would you think you are a hopeless cause!? Obviously your youth minister doesn't think so! Good luck, I miss you!! Please keep us updated!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely let you guys know how it goes. =)
ReplyDeleteKayla, I totally look forward to that post. =)
And haha I was thinking the same exact thing Bailey. Good prep for LA as well.
