So it's almost already 2 weeks into October, my favorite month! Things are going by so quickly. Though I have to admit, I'm not spending this October like I'd prefer to. Instead of carving pumpkins, making halloween treats, or searching for a halloween costume, I have been sentenced to never ending homework and tests (though I have bought a pumpkin to paint... It will have to wait a week!). I never knew that college would be so intense. I mean everyone told me it was but in my head I always thought, "psh, they're just trying to scare me". Little did I know, they were telling the truth! Okay, so maybe not all majors are that bad, but Pre-vet is giving me a run for my money. You have to take 2 or more sciences at once, and trying to balance that and everything else is not the easiest thing in the world! I actually should be studying now, I have a chemistry test tomorrow, but I'd rather write a blog :) Lately I've been procrastinating with cleaning, but I suppose there are worse things I could do! In the spring I hope things will be a little easier because by then maybe I'll get the hang of everything and I won't have band and will be able to use that extra time to study.
This past weekend, I participated in "Venture" with Lakeview Baptist, which is basically like a D-now for college students. It was really great! I loved our host family, and the speaker wasn't afraid of hurting anyone's feelings and telling the truth of the bible. It was awesome! He spoke on biblical manhood and womanhood. I don't think I've ever heard anyone speak on that topic, but basically it was what the roles of the man and woman should have in a relationship and so much more. It really hit home, and I felt convicted about alot of extremely random things... things that didn't even deal with that topic. They were mainly things that I've said in the past that I know that I shouldn't have said. But we are so blessed because Jesus has died for all of our sins because he knew that everyone would make mistakes. We are forgiven! Another thing that I was convicted of was not reading my bible like I should. I noticed how all of those people at the retreat had so much knowledge of the bible, and it hit me that bible knowledge isn't going to pop up in my head if I'm not even reading my bible! So I'm doing my best to try to change that, even if I have to wake up a little earlier. I was reading 1 Corinthians today and a verse caught my eye. "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body" 1 Corinthians 6:19-20.
So yesterday I got to see dad because he had to go through Auburn because of work. We ate at the Brick Oven and he told lots of stories. :) It was so good to talk to him, and hear his extremely loud laugh (I'm sure everyone in the restaurant was aware that he was there hahaha).
I hope all my Andalusia folks are doing well, I'm looking forward to when I get to see y'all again :) I miss y'all!!!
