God's Gifts To Me Today

1. Had lunch with Frances Green today! we went to this place downtown called "under one roof" and it is this cute store with  a small restaurant above, and it is very girly so it was fun and I loved it! we talked about my "figuring out my life" and "issues with BPB" stresses. it was good to talk to about it with someone that was older and could give me a fresh take on it. and listen of course. I didnt say Brent's name btw; just thought I'd add that there.lol :)

God Comes To Me

1. I discovered this awesome beautiful song today! it's called "what faith can do you" by Kutless. they were playing it at Southern Hills before HIP tonight, and I had heard it before but I guess didnt pay that much attention to it; actually, I kinda blew it off. anyway, I really felt this...urging I guess to hear it tonight again so I looked it up online and bought it on Itunes, and have been listenign to it on YoutTube while I have been working on my Economics HW! it is so so..beautiful! it is exactly what I need for some reason. it's like God is talking to me right now, telling me: listen, millie, this is what I can do for you, what I want to do for you..."
2. I have been giving Brent Bailey the silent treatment(except on Google Talk and text and facebook)for about 2 weeks and he finally asked me why!! that;s what I have been waiting for him to do; I just wanted him to come after me and not just let me go you know? so he finally did!! lol I know, way childish, but I am a child at heart. :)
3. This recruiter guy from the "Pioneer Bible Translator" program came to my world religions class today and I was interested so I went to talk to him after class and signed up for information and am thinking about doing an internship with them next summer.just thinking; I have a year to think it over and see what God does with it.

God's Gifts To Me Today

1. Finished the labels today for periodicals!! 
2. had a good 2 minute conversation with that someone I have my eye on. lol (oh and I high fived him, which  I dont usually do with guys btw, but it was touching him). LOL :)
3. Sunny Guilds emailed me back about meeting with my about Europe Missions and it is set for monday @ 1:30pm
4. The Thailand and Ukraine Let's Go campaigns are only for ACU Grads, but I am determined to go on one, so I emailed the guy leading the one to Mexico for a week in June and he emailed me back today(it's with the youth group-he's the youth minister) and we have a meeting set up for tomorrow @3pm :) 
5. Did not cry today(although I came close-super tired!)
6. this one will sound weird, but I turned Trevor down! I was at Rosas and him and a bunch of his friends were there and he asked me to sit with them( I did last week)and I said no! the thing is, when Trevor asks me to do something, I usually do it, so for me to say no, it's a huge deal to me! plus, I do have to be careful around him,because I know how easy it would be for me to read too much into things like that you know? I guess I need to guard my heart around him. dorky I know lol

God's Gifts

1. I was walking to the library around 6:45-7:00pm tonight, and I was passing through the parking lot between the tennis courts and the bible building when I saw one of my friends(a guy). I am a bit near sighted and it was dark(since it was night time) and so he said hey to me but I had to get a bit closer so I could tell who it was and so he asked if I couldn't see him and I said that I am near sighted and he asked if I wore contacts and I said no and he said if it was that I needed them but didnt wear them and i said that I need reading glasses but I never wear them. he then asked if it was because they were big and I said no that they were nice guicci glasses, and red, but that I don't wear them because they make me look smart, and he said "you always do." in short, a really cute guy told me that he thinks I am smart and always look smart. that's kinda cool :)
2. got into this conversation with a high school senior who's coming to ACU next semester as a fresman. his name's Andrew and we talked for about 45 minutes; it was really awesome to be able to talk to him about ACU and my major and other things.
3. my online timesheet for my job is now up and running, so that feels good!
4. made plans to go have dinner with Anna tommorow at 6pm. I haven't hung out with her in forever, so that will be fun!
5. laughed today
6. randy harris talked in chapel today, and he said "following Jesus will cost you everything, and following Jesus will cost you nothing." the first part really hit home for me with the Brent thing going on right now...because it does feel like in order to be a christ-like friend to him and accept his decision I have to give up something, which in this case is my wanting to be able to have one on one time with him. it just really stuck with me.
