I just dropped my accounting course. YAY. Although it means I lose that money. Not yay. How miserable I was compared to how much I was actually getting out of that course was just.. Oh man. So not worth it.
So now I have no excuse to get at LEAST 85% in all my classes. Done deal. And I now have a car. YAY!
PS pray for my mum. She's not well.

Where I belong
And on the final day I die
I want to hold my head up high
I want to tell You that I tried
To live it like a song
Where I belong - Switchfoot
I heard a sweet message at camp once.. About a woman who chose her life's testimony before she lived it out. She decided that she wanted to live for Jesus, and have a passion for Him, and spend every moment loving life for Christ because he sacrificed himself on the cross for her every sin. So she did. She has lived that testimony out to this very day, and has never regretted a moment of it.
There is always time to reevaluate your life and completely switch lanes into living a life not for yourself. I for one, remember hearing that story and I think it changed my motives. Not just to be a "good Christian" and to never do "bad stuff" but I had a desire planted in me to just live and love and use what I have for God's glory. This desire has grown over time, and I genuinely hope and pray that I'm fulfilling it. I know I have such a long way to go, but that's where the growth part comes in. It's not like I'm doing any of this by my own strength anyways. It's all Jesus. Through Him I'm learning to step back and let things be orchestrated NOT by my hands, and to really truly be patient and continue to pray that he provide for the desires of my heart, but also that it be His will that ultimately comes forth in my life. I'm learning how much give a person really has in them, if they try to just love others for Christ. I'm learning to breathe freely and be still in his peace. I'm learning to trust my creator for the wisdom to just shut up and also the courage for when He nudges me to speak up. I'm learning how to be a prayer warrior, I'm learning how to be humble, I'm learning how to be silent and listen when He speaks. I'm learning how to enter deeper into His word, how to hold it close to my heart, and just how much I should treasure it as the life-giving water that it is.
There is no end to the list of what can be gained through Christ, and through Christ I will never stop learning.

Tragic tale, indeed.
"Once upon a time there was Hosé. You know Hosé.......Hydraulic Hosé, he has a little brother named Fuel Hosé and a wimpy second cousin named Garden Hosé. Anyway HH and I were wrestling and he got all bent out of shape when I was twisting his scrawny, oily neck with the crescent wrench. Well, he didn't like that at all and went all ballistic on me and smashed me in the cheek with the wrench. I thought I was helping him out but nnnoooooo he didn't appreciate it at all. The End."
For those of you who aren't facebook friends with my father (Or just friends with him period)... You're missing out on life. I read the above story, which he wrote as a comment on the picture of him with a black eye. This is indeed the tragic tale of how he received said black eye. And it's hilarious. I love you dad!
