Yesterday I was in the business school getting some water at the water fountain before class and there was a guy waiting behind me. For the couple seconds I was drinking water I wanted so badly to cover the fountain with my mouth as I was drinking to see what his reaction would be. I didn't. That's gross.
This morning I woke up and went downstairs and we had a cat in our backyard! If you don't know... I really dislike cats, but this one was different Scott and myself went outside and it came up to us and let us hold it! We named her Jinx and we fed her a can of Charles tuna.
Today didn't exactly turn out the way I envisioned it, but it was a great day. Very restful yet productive in an unproductive sort of way. I didn't do any work per-say but I did take a great nap, read, went to the high school and played basketball with some high school guys, hung out with Katie and Carie, started a letter and hung out with some more high school guys!
So the last weekend I was sitting at home by myself cutting hearts out of red and pink construction paper watching The Notebook. Sounds like a great a night right? I was content... And then 5 of my high school guys decided to stop by unannounced. They said.... "Nate. Ummmm what are you doing?" It was a difficult situation to talk my way out out. But I quickly changed the subject and the channel and any thought that I am even somewhat cool in their eyes was saved. Crisis averted.
Tonight I had a similar situation happen. Except I was doing more manly things such as watching the NBA celebrity game. We had an awesome time hanging out. We made a campfire and made s'mores then went to campus and played night games in Rankin with some other YoungLife leaders. They had a blast! I am so lucky I am able to be a part of their lives. Its been really cool to see them starting to call me to hang out instead of me always having to call them. Kind of like we're friends or something, crazy!
Keaton and I discovered a magical trampoline and jumped until we were worn out.
This passed week especially I've had the chance to really hang out with Charles. He is so wise and I am so lucky to have him as a roommate! I feel like I get so much more out of our friendship then he does but he assures me that's not the case. It is such a blessing to be able to talk to him, ask him his opinion on things and have him speak truth into my life. One thing we talked about was "being established in righteousness." We are set up to be righteous, righteousness because of Christ is our identity. As much of my identity as I put into the people around me and all the other things I put my worth in, I need to remind myself that I am established in righteousness, not they things around me. Crazy thought. I've been sitting here for at least 15 minutes trying to think of exactly what it means.
I love my life, and I love seeing how the Lord is using my life for His glory!
Welp, that was a whole lot of nothing. Its time to finish my letter and head to bed.
