To start things off, I'd like to quote a song on my much acclaimed itunes' "party mix"...
i run my city
i aint talkin marathons
i am not P.Diddy
i aint talkin marathons
i am not P.Diddy
That made me laugh today. Also, the song "When God Fearing Women Get the Blues" came on just now and that made me think back to a year ago... the cruise... so fun!
Seeing as though it is Monday, not too many thoughts are bouncing around in my head. But I will mention a few lingering things from this weekend! First off, I really, really, REALLY want to travel to Egypt and Israel. Probably two of the most dangerous places to travel at the moment, but I've got to go! Who knows when, but I am looking for trips and ways to get there. When I was studying in Venice, we were this |-----| close to going to Egypt but it was quite pricey. As I mentioned yesterday I think, I am reading a book about a man's journey through the Pentateuch by actually going to sites in the Middle East. It's bringing about the realization that going to these spots and seeing places that truly make the Bible jump out of its pages would be incredible. I want that experience and that way of discovering the Word and so yea, sign me up, I'm going. Besides, how cool are those pyramids?? I've done my research... I love the Mummy movies haha Seriously though, you'll find me there soon I hope!
Another thing would be that I have been reading about loveeeeeee in Corinthians and Romans and came upon a verse that I have probably read multiple times but have never been hit by until now. I've definitely gone through books before and looked for things that would be appropriate to say in certain situations, one of those being wedding vows. Yes, a little pre-emptive there I know haha But there is something crazy cool about the Bible that it will speak to you about things when you lay them down and remove them from your thoughts and worries. Case in point:
Quite possibly the most beautiful description of love I have ever read. As I am here and continually trying to wholly surrender my heart to God and be in relationship with Him, I truly do hope to have that kind of love for Him - protective, trusting, hopeful, everlasting :)
Runner-up to 1 Corinthians 13:7... of course, this!
