It has been pretty eventful - this life thing that is happening.
The title on my journal is "Life Begins".
I can tell you the reasoning behind that. It's not the fact that I just start living - but instead - this whole crazy life after being in a summer missions program. Sometimes it's just so hard to go from a place where you are always being poured into, encouraged, motivated and held accountable. But then life happens - and things aren't always perfect.
But on to life & what's been happening.
I am not the intern at CEI - Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovate at WKU and it's pretty exciting. I am doing "pr" work for them now and it's exciting. I get to actually come in to work and worry about projects, instead of doing silly things like filing (no fun).
School has been absolutely hectic. there are certain weeks throughout the semester that it seems like every professor you have joins together to give tests on the same two days. That was this week. I had three tests in my three class and then one on the next day. So one professor was merciful but 4 out of 5 had it out for me this week.
But the few people that didn't... Dave Barnes, Matt Wertz, Matthew Perryman Jones and Katie Herzig. I got to see all these wonderful musicians in Nashville at "Live On The Green". It was amazing. Usually concerts seems to be kind of hectic when they are free and outside. Everyone rushes the stage (especially if they have beautiful hair like the first two guys mentioned earlier). But instead I got to be contemplative. Instead of staring into Dave Barne's face being squashed by girls who love him, I was laying on the grass staring at the sky. It was marvelous.
The best part about the whole event, it was after a completely stressful day of three tests (darn professors). It was a night to unwind and forget about everything... which I did.. and then around 9:45 - I was reminded that I had an accounting 200 test scheduled for 9:10. GREAT. I could have regretted the night that I spent enjoying music and neglecting to study - but instead I saw it in the positive light - I wasn't able to worry about my test that next morning. So I guess it all worked out okay.
Life & Such.. God is good & life is beautiful.

YOU SAW MATT WERTZ?!?! I've seen Dave a few times in concert, but never Matt. J-e-a-l-o-u-s.
And I completely agree with and love this post! Isn't it great to actually be living now? What did I do with myself all that time before this summer... because I know I wasn't truly living. :) Love you Em.
God is definitely good! Isn't it funny that when we have so much to do and so many tests, that He still manages to give us words to articulate our thoughts and what we are learning from Him?!? Even when we are caught up in the busy-ness of "life and such," He is faithful and is always teaching us something new. It is wonderful! This was a good post, Emily, and definitely encouraging to me! Love you! :-)
