Let's pretend its Sunday, yes?

It turns out that my regular habits are returning to me. Last night I was DETERMINED to finish editing some pictures, so I stayed up until 2:00 AM to do so (instead of updating this blog that I have neglected a little (oops! sorry!)). So want to just pretend it is Sunday? (I sat outside in the sun yesterday and wrote this update on scratch paper that I really want to get out.) If so, keep reading. And if not...well, you are a tiny out of luck. :)

Happy Sunday, everyone!

I am beginning to love this day of rest more and more as my life here gets busier and busier.

This week we learned about Worldview and Biblical Worldview in lectures. It went a tiny bit over my head, but thats OK because it turns out God had a ton to teach me in my day-to-day life anyway. He went into the soup of my soul and stirred the pot, and suddenly all these chunks of me that I didn't know or want to be there surfaced. Like that I am kind of a horrible, prideful person. 

Luckily, God taught me so much about His crazy love last week that I understood that dealing with these things isn't supposed to be a wallowfest of depression or about getting down on yourself. It is supposed to be joyful amazement and thanksgiving of his grace and mercy. Who knew? That was a really cool realization because I have spent a lot of time in the past few years dealing with my weaknesses far less healthily. 

OK. Sorry for the deep blog - just wanted to let you all know what I am up to!

P.S. Fun fact - I had ice cream 5 times this week, which was a dream come true! Because I actually LOVE that stuff!

P.P.S. Fun fact #2 - I was walking down the street with a friend on Saturday doing a photography assignment, and a guy came out of his house with a PARROT. And he let me hold it. And it talked.
