I keep thinking about blogging, and then I never do. I have a lot going on...all the time, but my mind is just so tired that I can't really put my thoughts to words. I can't seem to get enough sleep lately, after a 4 hour nap, I'm just more tired than I was too begin with. I don't know what it is. I think it's all of the events going on around me....lots of negativity...but I'm trying to stay positive, but fithing off those negative minds takes a lot of effort sometimes, and truly is draining. Anyway...putting away my violin, haha.
I recently started...and have almost completed a book called: Jesus in Blue Jeans : A Practical Guide to Spirtuality. I've really enjoyed it. It's basically just about the actions that Jesus went through in his life, breaking it down into 4 categories : poise, perspective, passion and power. It then goes onto talk about ways in which all of us, God's people, can live our lives in that way. I think the thing I love the most about it is that at the end of each section it has questions and exercises, as well as a "power connection" which is essentially a prayer. I'm still learning how to pray...and this book is VERY HELPFUL. :) Check it out if you ever see it....Barnes and Noble has it on sell for 8 bucks atm. :) It's one of those books that I want to read, and then pass on to someone else....who will then pass it on to someone else...and so on.
What else is goin on? Hmm. Oh, I finally did my presentation. It went pretty well, my classmates didn't boo my art or anything, haha...a few people actually brought out very positive points about it. I got to show off some of my photography too...from the photoshoot I did with Hailey, and then the Terri album pic. Very cool. On a side note: one of my teachers for this course saw me playing guitar at the student union...and then I talked about moving to nashville and enjoying the business and songwriting...he thinks I'm a singer. I should really clear the air, but a part of me likes the alias. haha
This weekend I have a Randy Rogers concert (holla for free tix!). My friend Jessica is gonna come down for that one I think, so that should be fun, then the carnival has come to my smalltown. Here's to funnel cakes, cotton candy, and Rae Mae's first Merry Go Round ride! :)
Should be a fun weekend.
THEN Monday, I have a debate. gag me. oh boy.
3 weeks from tomorrow I will be in Nashville. Praise God. My heart needs it.
-OKIE love-
Allyssa.
