my day, today-

today i woke up at ten, worked out for an hour, had a pb&j sandwich, read my boy oswald chambers, then wasted countless hours on tumblr, stumbleupon and facebook; took a nap for an hour or so, woke up and got back on tumblr; put on my sneakers and filled up my water bottle, grabbed my bike and rode for however long one rides when they are feeling out of it- came home took a shower, tried on clothes that have been in my closet since i bought them because i gained a few pounds during my first year of college and refused to return the clothing rather than losing the weight; so i tried them on and they fit; not to my surprise seeing i've been working out like crazy everyday for the past three weeks and two days now and have been eating much healthier- i patted myself on the back, yeah i am starting to like what i see when i look in the mirror- for supper i ate a vegetable pizza, talked to my family and some of my little bros friends that were over- are over.

i write all this to say, dang i cannot wait until im back in boone. i know my last five or so post have mentioned boone and that can get pretty annoying, especially if you've never been there- especially. but i miss it, so much that i sat and watched asu's weathercam. i miss it and hearing my friends talk about moving in this week makes me envious, but hearing my roommate talk about it makes me feel like just moving my stuff in early and staying with my friend haley who has a house up in boone this year; at least until i can move into my dorm officially. i love being home with my family, but boone has become my home; away from it i feel empty. empty like the days are long and the nights even longer; i'm just waiting for something exciting to happen to shake things up a bit, but i know that only happens when you're not expecting it to; sorta like our country is going down the drain faster than the riots are spreading through london- this world is so screwed up right now it surprises me we're all still sane, but i serve a God greater than any economic crisis or inevitable dollar collapse and Jesus is coming back sooner than we think so what i should really be focused on is spreading His love and truth to those lost and searching and hoping for things to change and get better- they won't, but i can tell you this much: heaven's gonna be sweet; i hope to see you there.

today ends for another day to begin. what's next? i couldn't tell you, but join me tomorrow (God willing) and we'll both find out together. please, let's keep praying for our country and keep praying for london. heck, pray for this world- what a scary place it is right now.

even still, i assure you, "there are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind."-c.s. lewis
