"Here listening to the silence"

All day I have been exhausted. I dozed off in three of four classes for at least a few minutes and then a little bit during the Phantom of the Opera movie I went to with my dad and grandma.

So I came home and skipped my nine o'clock small group to take a nap and work on some homework. But after 1/2 hour of thinking and listening to David Gray softly in the background, I realized I wasn't sleeping at all. The worst part is that I have to be up at 6:30 tomorrow morning for a SIFE meeting.

Classes haven't been going as well as I had hoped. I always worry at the beginning of the semester that I won't be able to pull off all A's, but I always manage. I hope that's the case again. There's a lot of work ahead though.

Part of my sleeplessness consisted of me being in that dizzy state when you're really tired and you feel like your kind of out of your body. My thoughts turned to death. I wonder what my funeral would be like. I think my loved ones would be proud of the life I have led. I think God would be sad at all of the opportunities I failed to take advantage of. I need to step it up a notch in the "least of these" part. Anyway, I like the feeling that I get when I realize that I am ready to die anytime and God will bring me home. Sure I have missed some opportunities, but I know where my home is and whenever God wants me I'm ready. I don't think my work here is done quite yet though.
