If distance is right I'd rather be wrong

I have made about 6 pitchers of ice coffee in the past week. And I've drank the majority of the coffee within those pitchers. Haha.

I am currently avoiding my homework, because well, I don't know what to write for my poem. Last night at writer's group at Bethanielle's house, we practiced stream of consciousness writing, so I thought I could use that... but I'm not really certain. Anyway, I still have quite a few things to do tonight, but nothing that alarming. I am hoping to start researching for my papers this weekend. We'll see how that goes. If I can have a draft of my 20 pager done by next Friday, I will consider that an amazing accomplishment. I feel I can do it.

Aside from that, I am just generally happy lately. Things seems to be going fairly well. I have to say, I am every day more in love with my God. He holds my world together. There's really no other way to put it. I think one of the main reasons why I love Brooke Fraser so much is because she has put into words the one thought that popped into my mind about 4 years ago, and has been true ever since:

When the years are showing on my face
And my strongest days are gone
When my heart and flesh depart this place
From a life that sung your song
You'll still be the one I want


I don't really know how to explain what I feel, but some days, I just get so distracted. God is simply so wonderfully faithful and good, that I just can't help but get lost in thinking about Him. I don't ever want to do anything more than just sit at His feet. Just sit. I don't care much about dancing or singing, or laughing or witnessing miracles - I just want to be with Him. Is that too much to ask for?

Another thing: I cleaned my apartment today. Like, really cleaned it. I haven't done that in forever. Yeah!

I've also been occupying my thoughts with the future. I straddle the line between explosive excited and immensely intimidated. Oh dear, you know what I am talking about. Each and every one of you does.

I've also been feeling more confident lately. I am not exactly sure why, but I just feel capable of succeeding. It's okay.

So I leave you with this. See you sometime in the future, when my days are less packed, and I've accomplished far more.

This.

I like stream of consciousness writing.
Additionally, I feel like this blog, for you, was of a similar sort. I like writing about all of the things I have been thinking so that I can step back, take a look, and go "yeah, that."
