I'll Be There As Soon As I Can

   It's been one of those day. Yea. One of those days.

   Waking up at 3:30 A.M. with possibly the sorest sore throat you've ever had in your life; almost choking trying to swallow some pills; almost choking again trying to drink tea while watching That '70's Show.

   Oversleeping till 10:20 A.M.; not starting school until Noon; not finishing school, even though you spent all your waking hours on it; realizing you can't do Physics because your calculator is dead.

   Heating up your flat iron, only realize you don't have time to straighten your hair; planning on wearing your black tank top, only to discover it's gone; only having time to remove the nail polish from your toenails and not having time to repaint them (which we all know is just as bad as not doing anything to them at all)

   Getting very little accomplished for your Christmas program; getting all confused trying to reactivate/activate/deactivate phones.

   Now I have all these horribly petty things to complain about. Really, there isn't any reason to complain about them at all. But sometimes in order to get things in perspective, it helps to make a list of all the bad things that happened during your day, then make a list of all the good things that happened. Here's my good list:

   Within 10 minutes of hopping back into bed after a horrible sore throat episode and praying to God to ease the pain, having Him answer your prayer and you fall into a painless sleep.

   Getting some school done (which is better than none); getting a 100 on your History quiz.

   Having hair that decided to be nice today and looked OK without being straightened; finding a navy tank top to substitute your black one; getting laundry done.

   Receiving your replacement phone; spending the evening with your sister and friend at Salvation Army; finding a really adorable skirt and a belt; peppermint hot chocolate at McDonald's (yum :)

   Seeing all your youth group friends :)

   Sometimes I forget how much God as given me. I forget how He's constantly changing me, how I am growing in Him.

   Sometimes I forget that I can just be myself around my friends. I don't need to put on some disguise and pretend to be someone I'm not.

   Sometimes I forget that God's in control. I forget that I need to give up control. Because I can't do anything on my own. It's only with God that I can get anywhere. Without Him, my efforts are pointless.

   Sometimes I forget that it's not about me.

   It's all about Him

My obsession. These guys are freakin' awesome. their percussionist, Kevin, is a Christian and on tour with David Crowder Band! Scott's voice is so... man. There are no words to describe his voice. This song has been stuck in my head all day.
