I worked Tuesday-Friday at my new job. I really enjoy where I work. All the professors in the Foreign Language department are really nice, and are really trying to help me adjust. I've made a few copies, sent a couple of faxes, and hung up some fliers around campus. Not a whole lot for me to do. Every Friday, one of the professors' husband makes bread for the whole office. It was delicious.
School was pretty good this week. I had an anatomy quiz on Wednesday, a psychology test on Thursday and an art test on Friday. I feel pretty confident about all 3. Classes seemed to go by quickly for some reason, no matter the reason, it was nice for the week to go by fast.
Friday night, I went to Angela's dorm to hang out. We played Mario Kart on her roommate's Nintendo 64. It was a lot of fun, even though I'm not very good. I think I lost every time. We played for a while, then had some pizza. One of her roommates and her boyfriend came over and we watched "The Break-Up." We had a good time. I didn't get back to my dorm until 1am. When I got back to my dorm, I found my fish, Fransisco, floating at the top of his bowl. I was real sad. He only lived 3 weeks. I fed him everyday, and cleaned his bowl once a week like the instructions said. I don't know what happened. Oh well, I'll just go buy another $2 fish.
Saturday, I slept in until 1pm. Mario Kart wore me out, haha. I spent most of the day laying around, watching television. Kayla and I went to eat dinner. Then we went to the mall to hang out with Angela while she was at work. I was trying on shoes and looking at clothes. While I was trying on shoes, my keys fell out of my pocket. I meant to pick them up, but I forgot somewhere along the way while I was trying the shoes on. The next thing I know, we were getting ready to leave and I reached for my keys and they weren't in my pocket. We searched the whole store. They were nowhere to be found. I left my name with the people that work there. You see, I didn't just lose my car keys, but my dorm room key, my student i.d., my driver's license and my two debit cards. Let's just say, I was a little upset and mad at myself. Things like this always happen to me. I can't just lose my car key, I have to lose everything important. I had to call Old National Bank and block my debit card. I have to wait until tomorrow morning to talk to Residence Life here on campus so I can get a new key and a new student i.d. And I'll be going home sometime this week to get a new driver's license.
This morning, I drove the short distance to Bethel Temple for church. I couldn't decide if I should go since I don't have a driver's license. But in the end, I decided I should since I drive responsibly and Bethel is not too far from my school. I'm glad I did. I was feeling rather pathetic and irritated with myself. I just felt like this always happens to me, never anyone else. Well, at Bethel, they are in a series called Ignite. This week was about Worship. Pastor Brett read from Psalm 147. "Praise the Lord" is at the beginning and the end of Psalm 146, 147, 148, 149 & 150. He summed up the book of Psalm as, worship God because He is worthy and He loves us. God created everything, not just the pretty sunset, but every little thing. Worship starts wherever you are, and then you move towards God. I realized I was overreacting about losing my keys and stuff. I was not worshipping God in my actions. I was being self-absorbed. God had a purpose in everything. Losing my stuff was insignificant in the spectrum of things. I can get a new driver's license. I can buy a new student i.d. I can buy a new key to my dorm. I can get a new debit card. I need to worship God in everything I do.
This morning we sang the Revelation Song. It is one of my favorites. I'll leave with the lyrics.
The Revelation Song
Worthy is the, Lamb who was slain
Holy, Holy is He
Sing a new song, to Him who sits on
Heaven's mercy seat
Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come
With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of Kings
You are my everything
And I will adore You
Clothed in rainbows, of living color
Flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder
Blessing and honor, strength and glory and power be
to You the only wise King
Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come
With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of Kings
You are my everything
And I will adore you
Filled with wonder, awestruck wonder
At the mention of Your name
Jesus, Your name is power
Breath, and living water
Such a marvelous mystery
Yeah!
Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come
With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of Kings
You are my everything
And I will adore You
Yeah God! Good job Evan! Everything really will be ok. You are amazing.
