fellowship with the Spirit...&catching up

well this past weekend was a much needed weekend of staying in nashvegas. i ended up being busy & having a little relaxation time. friday night i saw twilight....i am always in shambles of whether i am on team jacob or team edward. and one thing to know is that i never finished the book series. i only read the first 2 1/2 ish. i can't even remember. i got on a roll of reading them one time, and then all of the sudden as i was reading i couldn't help but think how weird they were becoming? anyway, i'm glad i saw the movie though because it was definitely the best one so far. the acting was good & there was a lot of humor in it which made it more enjoyable. i love edward and his attractiveness and beauty but i also love jacob for his heart and warmth. talk about contrasting people. then saturday i did my long run...which the st jude 1/2 is SO CLOSE i can feel it...only one or two more long runs to go...then i ran some errands, and went to a bonfire at my friend's house for a kairos group. ummm can i say that i pretty much rocked it at cornhole? actually, i am only somewhat good, but i rocked it because i realized how fun that game is! then sunday i went to a new sunday school class w/a friend and the worship service was amazing as always & i tried to be productive in working on a paper and made a dessert for Bible study tonight. PUMPKIN TRIFLE. yummy. well a short work week which i am so happy about and THANKSGIVING and a break and time at home.
oh yeah- and why the fellowship in the Spirit in the title? because we talked about it yesterday in sunday school...but i'm thinking about it alot and romans 8---

think about fellowshipping in the Spirit...it sounds so intimate...that Christ not only gives a way to that fellowship but that He WANTS and DESIRES that fellowship with us, that time with us. if we could even grasp how this could change our hearts and give us more of a desire for Him. read romans 8!

GREAT worship experience at kairos the other night, and they played this song. it opens your eyes to new worship and singing and praise to God :)

life lately

school has taken over my life the past 2 weeks. i feel like after i've finished one assignment i move to the next. this past week i had a little bit of a chaotic work week on top of chaotic school stuff going on....so thursday i decided to pack up my car to be ready to head home on friday after i got done with patients. and i made the drive home...at home i feel like i can unwind and relax. i had 2 assignments to finish, but i feel like at home i was going to be more productive than if i had stayed in nashville. don't ask me why, but sometimes you just need "home". another reason why i am a homebody. under stress, i would rather be at home. i would rather be sitting at my kitchen table with the noise and bustle of 2 dogs and my mom and dad talking auburn football or about the paper or about the dogs, etc. so it was a productive weekend and i'm grateful i can go home.
the sermon my pastor gave yesterday was probably the best sermon i have ever heard in my entire life. it made me realize what a great pastor he is and how he presents the message in an understandable and convicting way that leads you into wanting to apply it and know the Lord more. listen to it at firstevan.org under media/sermon messages under 11/13/2011---it may not be up yet. but it is called "you are the man: unwarriored".
well this week will not be as stressful with school stuff as last week, although i have a couple of smaller assignments due. i also have a big paper due after thanksgiving break which stinks!!
other things to look forward to: thanksgiving---1 week and 2 days, YAY. and a half day of work the 23rd and off 24th,25th...i am so looking forward to that. this weekend- relax, catch up on school, KSA bonfire!! TWILIGHT!!!, and eligible for the iphone nov 30...and the 1/2 marathon in memphis dec 3rd---ready to get that OVER WITH.
happy monday!!!

spurgeon nugget for monday :)

i am loving getting back to reading morning and evening by charles spurgeon. this book was such an encouragement to me my freshman/sophomore year in college. i feel like every word in this book is so uplifting and always seems to apply to my life at that time. this morning's devotion was especially encouraging:

this past weekend was very relaxing and much needed! friday i had to work & then chilled & cleaned up my apartment & went to see the ides of march. it was an ok movie other than the f word and other unnecessary content. the 2 reasons i saw it were ryan gosling & it was a political movie, which i thought was interesting. saturday i sortof slept in & my bff katie came from memphis to visit! it seems like we drove around all weekend, but we went to leiper's fork, downtown franklin to shop & eat, and relaxed & watched the al/lsu game. yesterday we went to church and back to downtown franklin to buy each others' christmas gifts---an amazing smelling candle. we got the same scent...loving it. we both have obsessions w/candles...and perfume.
well back to a monday. find encouragement in the words of the day (morning) from charles spurgeon.
