rain, snow, cookies, skiing, beach, the book of Matthew, bagel baseball, ping pong, life is good, halo with the boys, girl songs, my pillow is defluffing, all my socks have disappeared, crazy love by francis chan, essays, essays, essays, actually being there when they put out the fire at cracker barrell, family reunions in boone, peanut's new/old toy, yo-yo's, CD almost done, out of tune rock band guitar in chapel, airplane game, new clothes, wonderful friends, awesome family, and that barely even scrapes the surface.
i'm strongly considering joining the disney movie club. just to get some classics, ya know? on a completely different note, right now i'm in the middle of a 5 day / 6 night tropical vacation in charleston, staying at glupker's house! the first night there were 5 of us, the past two nights there was 12 sleeping in the house (17 in the total spring break crew) and now we're down 11, and still having the time of our lives. we played alright in the frisbee tournament, we won some games, we lost some games, we won the games we should have lost and lost a game or two we should have won! but now, we're just chilling and going to the beach and eating and sleeping and more chilling and movies and telling the stories where everyone tells a sentence. poor rosie made herself a princess, and then left the story into the hands of 5 other guys before it got back around to her. let's just say the princess already had a marshmellow-making unicorn and Wolvervine for a husband who had already died once by the time it got back around.
so God's showing me a lot in these last few months before i graduate...stuff like "hey chris, be a better, deeper listener." and "hey chris, would you please talk to me, I'm right here, all the time." and "hey chris, you need a haircut." and "hey chris, make ME famous, not you." and "hey chris...i've got it under control. stop living / worrying / thinking like i don't!" i would rather my life be an introduction to Jesus than a dissertation on all the cool things i did. but i find myself serving myself instead of others, and having to constantly keep my MIND humble, because i'm NOT all that and an english muffin, and i can shine the light of Jesus much better when i'm not standing there waving my own flashlight saying "hey look at me!" you catchin what i'm throwin down out there?!
so i'll try to get back into this. really. because i know all you guys want to stalk me REAL bad. :) i have the bestest friends ever. i'm talking about YOU.
kbye!
