Sometimes prayer is such an abstract concept to me. It's nothing that frustrates me, or anything like that. Sometimes it just seems ABSTRACT: thought of apart from concrete realities, specific objects, or actual instances: an abstract idea. I just came across this quote, I don't know where it is from exactly, but it is so good and when I read it, it just encourages me TONS! You ready for it??? God's answers are wiser than our prayers. So with that being said, it seems so much easier to pray to a God who knows what is best for me above all things. I really, really love praying with other people. It is so comforting to hear the deep thoughts given up to a mighty and amazing God.
Today I spent a lot of time outside. I worked at Pathways doing a lot of policing of the church property. This means I put on a beater
There is something I really like about working outside in a beater. I don't know if it is my hillbilly roots, or what. But the tan lines are minimal, and I love walking around in the beautiful sun in my Aviators. 
I have this amazing pair of Aviators. They are the old school kind. Like what people stereotype pilots wearing all the time. THEY ARE SO SWEET!I went to campus today to talk with a department head about switching from a major in Psychology to one in Intrapersonal Communications.
This is a picture of me waiting in the communications office. I don't know if anyone can tell, but I got some sun today. I plan on getting a nice base tan this year. I know last summer I was BURNT LIKE A LOBSTER!!! In fact, if you type in LOBSTER and search it in my BLOG, you can see just how much I burnt myself. OR, you can just CLICK THIS LINK Click the link and see how much I did not learn this lesson. I put no sun screen on today. I am lucky I didn't get burnt. There is this old school Hip Hop song that just turned into PUNK music. It is so funny, but for some reason I can't stop listening to it, I really love the beat they have. I have to share it. CHECK IT
He approached the door, and immideatly pressed the handicapped door opener button. Did not make eye contact with me, and walked right on past. I was almost offended, not outwardly, but inwardly I scrunched my eyes, and felt as though he had personally and rudely attacked me. I walked to my car as if someone has just wronged me. Minutes later, I realized that I had now become "in the wrong." A follower of Christ does not open a door for someone in order to get a thankyou or a pat on the back. A follower of Christ opens a door for someone, even an annoying someone to let them know you care about them, and want to spread this LOVE thing around. In Christ, there need not be recopricity. It's nice when it comes, but I have to watch it. That guy will be on my list now. To be ever careful how I look at him, think about him, and to pray for him. And that's that.
And now I feel like I have been sizzling like a weenie on a hibachi. 
For real! This picture may not show it very clearly, but I am red like a lobster. And of course, because of the protective eye things, I have some real cute WHITE spots around my eyes. All is well though. Not a complaint, just a state of being. Next time I will remember not to tan so long, OR, tan more often. Either alternatitives would have averted this uncomfortable state I am currently in.
