I'm not really sure where to begin with this one. I haven't been on here in a while and therefore there is a lot I'm sure I have to tell. We'll start with the end of 09. I finished yet another semester of college. Grades were good enough. In November, the Intramural football team that I was on won the championship! It was wonderful. We began the season off on a pretty rough note. We went out there and just kept chasing our tails. We did not know what we were doing, we had way too many people, and the team we were playing had it all together. By the end of the season, I had found my place on the team--the official 'Delpha' (that is representative of the floors of Delta and Alpha) hiker-- and my team had found its place within the ranks of the Spring Arbor University Intramural...Association... For the championship game we played the same team that slaughtered us in that first game. And guess what? We won. I'll leave the pictures to show you how wonderfully we won. . .
So, if you didn't catch that, we won 20-0. It was absolutely beautiful.
Before leaving for break, I got to spend time with friends I wouldn't see for a while. My roommates and I enjoyed decorating for Christmas. Later we had a Christmas party here on campus, in which we made and decorated sugar cookies, watched the Grinch, took funny pictures and made paper snowflakes (which never got put up).
Late December brought a little bit of relaxation with my family and friends. This break was actually tons better than last Christmas break. I was almost never bored (during the day anyway). I got to spend some time with Mindy B, Rachel, lots of time with Lauren, and Colten. Christmas brought some changes this year, but they were still good times, brought in with my family that I love.
Now, back to school I have been having a bit of a rough time. And the worst part is that I think that I have been taking it out on my friends a bit. I'm not sure quite what has been going on, but I just don't feel like I have been being the best me I can be. I also feel like I have been putting myself aside a little bit. I honestly don't remember when the last time was that I did something just because I wanted to do it. I feel like when I do things I either do them because someone else wants to or I don't do the things I want to do because no one else wants to do them. I am going to try to start doing things that I want to do, even if that means going by myself. I like doing things for people, and maybe that is my problem, I want to make people happy, and that makes me happy for the most part, but I just don't feel like I have been that happy lately, and that makes me sad. I know that I need to rely more upon God than I have been. Yesterday I went to Deeper (which is kinda like a Wednesday night church thing for college students) and I just saw how empty spiritually my life has been lately. When things are going well and are busy, I just forget to rely on God and to continue to develop my relationship with him. We'll see how things go with my new attitude and I'll let you know.
