I love daylight savings!

At least in the fall, I do. :) It was so nice to be rested this morning and still have that extra hour to goof off before I have to get ready for church!

Went to see BeeMovie with my mom-- it was cute/okay. Lots of adult humor which was a relief, although I was quite surprised at how sketchy some of it was! I concluded that kids must be very visual because most of the jokes would have been wayyyyyyy over their heads. But cute, nonetheless. (And I'm sure the parents were relieved.)

Then, whaddya know, Eric and Debbi both came over at the same time. We actually had a great time talking and drinking tea & hot chocolate. Two of my best friends, what could be better? Talked about Chemistry and grading and stuff and random things. I was grateful for their company.

LOFT tonight! Last week in Mary Hulst's series (sad) about prayer. I'm looking forward to Dorm Worship already because Sharon from the Office of Chr. Formation is speaking! YAY! Hopefully my Kuyperian friends (Kim, Brad, Jessie, and all the rest) show up tonight. I really like it when they come to LOFT...

MMmmmmmm.... Time for a shower.

Went to LaGrave CRC this morning. I found it quite restful. Something about the orderliness, the high-church feel and reverence allows me to re-center myself and sit peacefully.

I also found myself challenged by a nagging question of what I'm actually contributing to the Kingdom of God. Vocationally, I'm on board. I'm willing to teach, minister, volunteer, and all the rest. I desire to live simply and to simply live.

But there's something more to be had, or done. Not quite sure what it is. I'll confess that I feel wholly inadequate when it comes to my own spiritual well-being. I don't stay constant in His word, or pray enough, or do _______ enough (the list goes on). Yes, I understand that I have to let things go and accept grace in its place. But I also don't want to let myself off the hook because of Grace, to abuse it and misuse it for whenever I'm too lazy to acknowledge the work I'm meant to do.

Vague, I know. More later.
