"Caffiene and Sleep.....Oil and Water"

Ever had those moments were you are about to do a certain action and feels like a good idea at the time but you always pay for it and regret it later? Yeah well I'm in the paying for it and regretting it stage now. I decided to meet someone for coffee at like 1030 tonight and had a 16oz White Mocha. It was splendid as usual but as soon as I hit the pillow I knew that sleep would be eluding me for some time. And in that assumption I was correct. So I decided just to take a couple sleeping pills and am probably gonna skip chapel tomorrow and just sleep in instead. All I'm waiting for is for them to take effect which will hopefully happen within the next 20 minutes.
Well I have to say that things are going really well as of late. I actually wake up every morning excited about what God is going to do in my life and how He is going to use me for His glory. I was really going through a rough patch not too long. The details of which I won't bore you with. Anyways, He is faithful as always and has really changed my perspective on things.
It has been really cool in the past 2 weeks in the fact that God has helped me to develop 2 friendships in ways I didn't think possible. These are people that I have known for a while but never really got to know them in a deeper way until recently so its been really good. Well I can feel those pills beginning to work so I'm gonna go pass out hard.
Till Next Time,

"Since I Met You"

Was at the end of my rope, had nowhere to go
Was at the end of my rope, I had nothing to show
Until the day I turned to You, was at the end of my rope

You call me crazy, man you make my day
My state of residence was disarray
At every party and as far as anybody knew - everything was cool, but
The truth was bottled up inside of me
I was as lonely as a man could be
And my 200 friends couldn't fill the void in my soul
It was a giant hole

Nothing made any sense
I thought there would never be an end
Then love came knocking at my door

Since I met You I've been alright
You turn all my darkness into light
Since I met You I've been okay, I've been alright
Ya know I've been alright
Since I met You I've been okay
You're rolling my winter into may
And since I met You I've been alright
I've been okay since I met you
I've been okay since I met you

"Back In The Saddle"

Well today I am made the trek back to school and am pumped to get another year under my belt. This will be my final 8 months at IWU and real life is about ready to start. I am excited and yet a little hesitant and frightened but that’s normal. It has been a good 6 years overall. Great friends have been made, much knowledge has been absorbed, lessons have been learned, and my relationship with the One who sits on the throne has improved and matured greatly.
Today we left the house at around 1430. I was planning on getting back a lot earlier because I was going to register but just decided to do it on Monday. I like to keep it interesting with the registration business.....last year I registered 15 minutes before my first class :-) But as long as you get registered what does it really matter? Of course there is the whole deal of not getting into a class but I waved bye bye to gen-eds and such 2 years ago and I have to get into all my Nursing classes so it takes the pressure off. Anyways, we got here at around 6 o'clock and unloaded all of my cerap. I met my housemate...his name is Jeremy and he seems like a really cool guy. I think it will work out well. After unloading we came to the hotel and checked dad in. He decided to come with me since mom is out of town this weekend so he will just be hanging with me until Monday. I called Wes after we checked in and we all went to the Icehouse. If you have not yet visited this establishment and reside in the Marion area I highly recommend it. I had a pork chop that was the side of a small child and it was quite delightful. So yeah....it has been a really good day. I was planning on writing a lot more but I just realized how tired I am so I'm packin it in.
Till Next Time,
