| Back at school again. Usually I would be looking at my last entry that reads "classes are done" and be so mad that break has come and gone so fast. But this time is different. It has been fun being back at school this semester. And if I ever wondered where I was supposed to be and if what I am doing is the right thing to do...I can say in confidence that BBC is the place for me! That sounds cheesy because it rhymes...but oh well. I havent figured out why it took me so long, but I'm pretty sure at age 19 I just discovered that there is a world out there that DOESN'T revolve around me. I dont mean that in the sense that until now I thought everyone served me, but rather that I only thought about and concerned myself with things that involve me. But the world is so much incredibly bigger! That was something that I was thinking, but then in Romans today, Shalllllaaggallll (which is how his name should be spelled because it sounds that way) reminded us, or in my case- turned the light bulb on in my head, that we are bond servants to God. That last sentence would have been really deep if I hadnt added all my comments in there. But anyways, when I look at Romans and see Paul...I get so inspired to be a better Christian and friend and to invest my time into other people. I want to get involved at home this summer in volunteering at international aid, and spending time with people and getting to know them on a deep and personal level. Also I found this great website called www.anysoldier.com and it is such a cool thing! Basically, it was created by a mom of a soldier, I think, and what it is is you can write a letter and send it in...and they give it to someone who doesnt get mail often...if ever! Can you imagine being so far away from home and missing holidays and risking your life for this country...and not getting any mail to get you through the day?!?! I dont think how you feel politically about the war and the government should stop you from supporting the troops and their willingness to serve our country. Anyways, you can get three adresses a day...but lets be realistic-I cant write that much. So I am going to try for three a week. I would strongly encourage anyone to do this...even if it is only once! They said that opening a letter is like Christmas over there! They have lists of things you can buy but they said that a letter of support is the best thing and the one that most soldiers prefer the most! So if you have a group of kids, or a family...or even just yourself...write to them and let them know that we are glad they are over there! Okay, I think I said enough about that! See what I mean? I care about things like that now! I am very excited to go to Cedarville and visit all my dear friends. Whooohoo!!!!! I love my roommate! | | |
| Hey Everyone, Classes are all over!! I could jump for joy. Oh and just to share something-I have heard the prettiest musical piece every wriiten. It can be found at www.stephenspeaks.com and it is called 12:09 am. I love it...go listen to it. It is only like two minutes long. While you are there, I would recommend listening to all the great music but this one especially must be heard. I love it..it's perfect. Only five more days before I can be home! I can not wait. I am so glad that my classes are done for this semester....so long composition! Oh wait, there is still the finals. I cant forget about them. Anyways I have been so tierd lately. My schedule is all messed up sleep wise and all my naps dont exactly help. You know what though....I just gotta do what I gotta do to live for five more days. Then it is minivan for lots of hours..yippee! I am pretty much inlove with this new font. And the colors are really doing there job well. That was random sorry. Oh LIZ-five, FIVE, five days left. There is too much to say everything that I am looking forward to about being home. However, I cant wait to go to Barnes & Nobel, and watch movies, and snowmobiel, and see my famiy..extended and immediate, I cant wait to see my dog, and I cant wait to open presents!! Oh and even better..have people open the gifts I got them! Thats always fun. It is definatly time to end this entry. I think I am gonna take a nap. Go listen to the music!!! It's BBC ok...so go ahead. I love you Casey | | |
| It's December...finally! November was a fun month and it did go by fast at the beginning, but the last three days lasted forever. Me and my roommate rearranged our room and its really exciting because it's something new and its nice to have a change. I think we got lots of snow in MI, thats soo exciting too. Maybe even a snow day for my mom...I can only hope :) I really want there to be lots of snow waiting for me at home on my Christmas break, and I'd be okay if we didnt have any here until after break. Driving on the hills in snow scares me. The most exciting news of all is that I had a great time in my devotions two days ago. It was so nice to just be real with God. I dont know, its too hard to be able to write about on xanga...but trust me- it was a fun time! So I am looking forward to Christmas break and all the fun activities that come with that. And the time leading up to it will be fun as well, I can smell it. Okay I love you my xanga friends Casey | | |
| I survived!!! (This is where the Hallelujah Chorus begins to play). I was dreading the weekend because it was packed with work and guess what...I lived and it wasnt all horrible. I was so thankful on Friday night, right before I left for work I jumped on aim and asked whoever was on to pray for me cause I was thinking I was going to die-and it worked! I cant even describe how nice it was to be able to rely on friends to take your requests before God. I feel so unworthy because as much as I hate it, I have become one of those people who promises prayer and doesnt always deliver. And by doesnt always, I mean rarely ever. It's one of those things I dont like, and want to change, but just havent gotten around to yet. Kind of like painting a house..except this is more important. Yup, thats my random comment in here :) Anyways, today in chapel President Jeffery gave a sermon entitled "For Casey" or atleast it should have been. It was about how we are inherently selfish, and how we can simplify life by just obeying the law of love. And that love is sacrifice. Okay all that to say, thats something I definatly need to tackle. I am such a selfish person, and if I would take time to sacrifice myself and love others I would find so much more enjoyment out of life than chasing after my selfish desires. So I just wanted to say THANKS to those people in my life who have shown me what it means to really love someone and pray for them "hardcore" as one person put it ;) I love all my xanga friends (actually i love all my friends but the ones who dont have xanga wont read this so..I might as well say xanga friends). OH and thanks for the encouragement on the last entry. I love reading over and over the comments. And....eleven days! | | |
| You know what? I love encouraging thoughts. When you dont have the best day in the world, I love when someone comes up and says...it isnt long until THanksgiving. Oh that makes me feel soo great. Even if I have to feed the people the lines and be like "Just tell me that it isnt long until Thanksgiving and that the time will go by fast" and then after they tell me...guess what. I STILL am happy to hear it. Plus I appreciate those words soo much. No matter who they are from or when they are said. I love the positive spin that can sometimes be put on life. I vote for it more often. | | |
