"Find your voice and inspire others to find theirs"
This morning at church I was reminded how it is that my dad seemed to be (and still seems to be) the wealthiest man I have ever known, yet we were dirt poor financially. Its because "you only keep what you give away" and my dad gave all of himself to everyone he ever came in contact with. One of his good friends was the preacher at his memorial service and in his eulogy he said "bill was the person whom everyone walked away from feeling as though they were best friends...even the people bill despised." And it is true. People stood to honor him at his memorial service, as there were not enough seats, because he truly ministered to those people and he gave them everything he had. I can only hope that I can leave the same legacy behind, and it is my goal to live my life as he lived his.
That is my sermon for the day. Dismissed. :)
I have gotten a lot of studying done this weekend, which is good considering the mass amount of things I have to do in the tiny amount of time. Luckily lab was cancelled for tomorrow, so there's 3 hours I definitely need(especially since I just spent 1.5 on the phone with austin!)! I dont know if my professors plan to make me retake my exams before or after spring break, and I dont really know which one I prefer. OH well, I guess it will all work out somehow.
Well, I better go. EEEK! 3 days, I can hardly stand it. Whoever said "absence makse the heart grow fonder" sure knew what he was talking about!
