"june comes soon and then it's gone"

friends can be so tiring. lately they have taken it upon themselves to all invite themselves over because we have a house and they can't hang out in mixed groups in the dorm (no girls in guys dorms and vice versa), and we do live in the nicest of the student-inhabited houses... but sometimes we need some alone time too.

had fun with joanne and rachel tonight, while joanne made supper (yam fries, pasta with leftover sauce, broccoli with alfredo sauce), rachel worked on her scrapbook and i made Christmas tree ornaments.

we decided to have a "welcome-to-Advent/Chrristmas-party" next sunday, a come and go as you please kind of deal from 2:30-5:30 or so next week, and so made up a list of everyone we want to come... over 80 people so far. this is going to be one packed house if they all show up! : ) we will be baking all week i'm sure to get ready.

three sleeps left until my Bible study morning on Wednesday. still working on it. still working on my thesis lit review as well, it's due tuesday. my goal is to get it over and done with tomorrow as soon as possible.

was looking at some of rachel's old scrapbooks, makes me want to get my summer one done and start on this school year's as soon as i can so i don't forget things. think i might go with a smaller book for the year. loved her summer books.

and looking at scrapbooks about the summer has made me think more about next summer. i want to have an incredible-life-changing summer... but God has control over that. have been doing much praying about such things lately. the future. it has so much potential... but so does today. may i grab hold of these next few weeks and make them unforgettable. Father help me to love unconditionally. may Your will be done. may i be but a tool in Your grand master plan. show me who You want me to be and what You want me to do and where You want me to be.
