singing for freedom

Posted in Uncategorized by smilesoup on February 1, 2010

Such an awesome Christian song!! I wish we could sing this at church; it’s totally doable.

Also, I was so excited when I finally listened to the lyrics of this song by Owl City!! I’ve had this song for… maybe over a year now, and according to iTunes, it’s been played it 24 times. It’s a little unlike me not to carefully listen to and follow along with the words of any song, but Owl City songs are so soothing (and kind of lyrically unsophisticated, I have to admit), that I usually let the music whisper through one ear and out the other. But the line “I believe Jesus is truly the only way/I celebrate Christmas because it’s his birthday” definitely caught my attention and put a smile on my face.

Was supposed to hang out with Jill and Jess today but had last-minute family obligations. Now I’ve fallen ill. 102 degree fever.. it’s been a long time since I’ve been this sick, and my family is currently on the road, driving to Davis without me. Ahh I want my mommy…. TT

Thank you, Lord, for:

My oven-toasty room in the midst of this crazy blizzard.

My mom telling me back in November to book a winter break ticket on the very last day of finals so I could have more time to study. At first I was a tiny bit annoyed, but now I’m super grateful because all the snow is supposed to have stopped by then, and I’ll (hopefully) make it out of BostonĀ  without delay.

Excited first-years from warmer climates making snow angels and building snowmen :]

Snowplows and awesome groundskeepers.

This beautiful view of the woods from my window!

Too happy to study

So many good things happened today! I discovered my new favorite song, one of my favorite people in research lab passed her thesis defense, I ate some delicious homemade cake in celebration, my professor called my lab report “splendid”, I was able to do a favor for Ian, and a stubborn volcano of a pimple receded into nothing but a tiny blemish – OVERNIGHT! (I swear by Neosporin for everything.) I’m finding myself breaking out into random song and dance instead of studying for finals! Life is so wonderful!
