When peace like a river attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
What ever my lot you have taught me to say
It is well, it is well with my soul
Though the devil will ruin, though trials may come
Let this blessed assurance control
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate
And He shed His own blood for my soul
It is well, with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul
My sin, oh the joy of this glorious thought
My sin not in part but the whole
Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, oh my soul
It is well, with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul
It is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul
And Lord haste the day when my faith shall be sight
And the clouds be rolled back as a scroll
The trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend
Even so, it is well with my soul
It is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul

because I live in the midst of worldly collegians

note to self: extra grace required in my attitude toward obnoxious neighbors...
...and perhaps an occasional noise complaint.

because i keep forgetting to post
Lately I've been having a lot of conversations that I've been wanting to post about.
Lately I've been learning a lot, being reminded of a lot.
But lately I've been slacking in terms of updating my blog.
And...yes.
I'm tired. I was planning on posting something at least a little bit more substantial than this, but that's definitely not going to happen.
G'nite =]

because we know that people always come and go
But they leave memories that won't ever fade.
I can't believe it's already been a year since I did that song with Alex....and his wifebeater. Good times.........
haha. =]
Anyway.
I keep thinking about how people come and people go--and it's not just a matter of physical distance either.
Friendships start, then they end.
Classmates one quarter, strangers the next.
People click, the connection fades.
Roommates one year, awkward acquaintances the next.
..you get the picture.
Sometimes I catch myself thinking of what used to be and how things have changed. I wonder at how I could have been a better friend, and I'm saddened at how I neglected various relationships.
And then I start to regret.
But then I have to remind myself--It happens! That's life. Besides, there's no way I could maintain whatever apparently close relationships I've had in the past and I have in the present if none of them ever faded away...unless I was God.
Hm.
As the quarter draws to an end, and as I consider what to do for graduation (post graduation pizza party get together?), I wonder about who it is I'll keep in touch with once I'm gone. Granted, I'm not actually gone 'til the end of summer, but even so...who will come and who will go from now 'til then? I'd like to say that those individuals with whom I believe I'll still maintain relationships think the same of me, but even then we don't know that that's what's going to happen. Chances are, time and distance will do what they do best, and we'll all be left with more memories of people who have come and gone. But then we have the hope that this cycle is infinite (well. as long as we're able) and that as long as people go, there will be some who come.
So. Where do we go from here? What do I do now, knowing that those I hold close will no longer be as long as time progresses?
There's not much we can do. So. As long as you're here in my life and I in yours, let's make this time worth remembering. Let's do our best to make these memories ones that will be revisited with fondness. And whatever we do, let's do what we can to be sure that God is glorified...though it'll happen regardless of us and our efforts.
I'm almost done. Let's make this good. =]

Wonderful.
Thank you.
Pictures to come? Perhaps. =]
Or maybe another post about clothing racks and jeans.
For now, just this. The end!

because it died in its sleep
...my phone, that is.
It's ironic, really. I kicked it, threw it, dropped it, and even got it wet. Yet somehow, when my phone finally died, it was at night when I had it plugged into the charger. Ha.
Anyway, I just wanted to let y'all know that my phone is no longer functional. I'll be phone-less for just a day, though. =] I'm getting a new one on Monday.
That is all.
