I'm Sorry For Being Creepy

Hi guys. I woke up today and my roommate told me that I probably have sleep apnea and that I also sleep with my eyes open. The things you learn. Here's what our conversation sounded like this morning.

The Early Bird Gets Up Way Too Early

"And guess what else, Dad!" I exclaimed one day, a few weeks before the start of freshman year of college. "She's not a morning person either!" I had just discovered my roomate assignment, and was overjoyed because I just knew the two of us were going to get along. 

"Sounds perfect," Dad replied, with a sly grin on his face. "There will be little grief in your room".

"Yeah!....wait. Is that a pun?"

I Can Do All Things...

...through Christ who gives me strength.

And honestly, He must be giving me lots of strength right now because I hardly feel phased or crushed as my semester at home readily approaches.

It reminds me of the song "I am...persecuted not abandoned, struck down but not destroyed. I am blessed beyond the curse for his promise will endure,  and his joy's gonna be my strength"

What's interesting is that whenever I'm down, verses pop into my head--and I don't mean Bible verses. Song verses!! One that repeatedly comes back is a kid's song I sang in Sunday school & VBS all those years ago and had all but forgotten until last summer, when, again I was having money and school troubles.

"My God is so great, so strong & so mighty there's nothing my God cannot do!"

Wow. So, basically this fall I just need to trust in Him and His plan for my life.

Plus, in order to not be even more optimistic I'm writing a post a day over on my friend Hannah's blog The Daily Blah about what makes each day great. I'll link to those in this post once I write them :)

MY DAD IS TRYING TO MARRY ME OFF

My dad wants me to get married.

Ok, so he didn't come out and SAY that, but I think I can infer it. We were having a nice chat over breakfast about oatmeal and other...normal...things when suddenly, out of the blue, he says,

"Regarding finding a...mate...I was listening to the radio the other day and Michael Medved had a guest on who said the college years are the best time of your life for that"

What.

"I took a lot of notes, you can have them if you want"

"Dad...have you ever heard the term, 'husband hunters'?"

"You know you shouldn't laugh at that. It's not as silly as you may think. This lady was talking to Princeton girls about important issues, and this was one thing they kept bringing up. It's not a bad idea to get your Mrs. Degree."

As if I hadn't thought of it. Yeah ok, its crossed my mind once or twice....ok at least a hundred times. I'm a girl and yes, I think about marriage. That's the truth! But I also realize that God has a plan and the right man will come along when he comes along.

"He'll....beee...drivin' 6 white horses when he comes! He'll be drivin' 6 white horses when he comes! He'll be drivin' 6 white horses,  he'll be drivin' 6 white horses,  he'll be drivin' 6 white horses when he comes!"

Please tell me you've heard that song. But ok, my "prince charming" doesn't have to be rich or drive 6 white horses. He does have to be a godly man. Oh...and musical. If you know of any, point them my way...or maybe send them straight to my dad.... ;) I'm really not that bad of a gal. As my dad just said, "im surprised more men haven't bothered you".

Hahahaha NO. I can wait. I can most definitely wait.
