The Lining is Silver

"God didn't make the sun for you to sit in the library, Marcie." -Peppermint Patty I agree with her 100%!  And not only because I happen to hate studying. All day long I have been hurrying through buildings, and slowly strolling whenever I am outside.  Reason: it is absolutely totally gorgeous today, and I am glad, because God let it be sunny today so that I could share something He has shown me.  Which I think is SUPER DUPER awesome. :) And my heart is all full, because of how neat God is and how he tells me things, and replaces what I think is best with His best.  :) It's just really cool. So, the story-thing I am going to write about today was actually supposed to be done and posted early yesterday afternoon, however, that did not happen.  Things kept coming up, and people were always around, and it just didn't happen.  Honestly, this made me a little frustrated, because I really wanted to share my thoughts, but God hadn't finished the story yet.  The

Today I find myself sitting on the floor in the top of Foy, which is a nice hideout from the crazy campaigners and their giant signs spread all up and down the concourse.  (Not all of them are crazy, so no offense if you are one of them.)  I just prefer it up here on this ancient (sometimes smelly) carpet in the peace and quiet.  :) Well, it's usually quiet.

Now, I know this does not seem like anything spectacular.  When you get a box or bag of candy hearts, you know what "head over heels", "no doubt", "sugar lips", and "luv you" mean, but these students don'

I came to the student center today in-between my 12:00 class and my 3:00 thinking I could put in my headphones and read some scripture...hahaha! good one, right?  Yeah, its like someone kicked an anthill in here. There are people EVERYWHERE, all talking and laughing and yelling and singing... Good plan Tori. This won't be distracting at all. ...Especially not that kid with pink hair that just walked by. So, a few mins ago, I put in my headphones and cranked them up, which only gave me a headache as it and the constant roar of people combined into the same kind of noise that happens when multiple TV's are on and two or three kids are all talking and asking you things all at the same time.  Ugh.  So I removed the stupid things and asked God to make me a good listener and to speak to me despite the noise.  I then proceeded to read what I thought I was supposed to be reading and I just could not hear myself think! This happened about 6 or 7 times: I would go to a new passage o
