UT firsts....

-a summer spent in Austin
-having a random roommate
-living in Jester east
-taking the elevator to my room
-parking in Brazos garage
-community bathroom
-free pluckers and tiff treats

....to name a few but the list goes on...just ask me about it sometime. First day back in Austin was good and seeing all the other OAs was fun. I must say that I need to get use to hugs...a slow but gradual process. Days are quick but packed, tasks are challenging but exciting, food is good but low in fiber but for now I'm not complaining. Fatigue is slowly seeping in on me....the first day of the next 8 weeks of my life =)

on constant replay.....

Voice of Truth- Casting Crowns

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I'm in
on to the crashing waves

To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
And He's holding out His hand

But the waves are calling out my name
And they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and time again. "Boy, you'll never win!"

But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story
The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of Truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of strength it takes
to stand before a giant
With just a sling and a stone

Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out my name
And he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
Time and time again. "Boy you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"

But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story
The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of Truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth

But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don't seem so high
On top of them lookin' down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over me

But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story
The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of Truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me (calling out to me)
I will choose to listen and believe-
It has come to my attention that after an entire semester of 8ams every single day....tomorrow is the very last one. This is the dawning of a new era. Just thought I'd share that with you. this is amazing....
