So I have a humungous test in my Natural History of Vertebrates class. I need to know the class, order and family of about 70 different organisms. For example, the Sea Lion belongs to the class Mammalia, order Pinnepedia/Carnivora and the family Otariidae. I need to be able to identify the organism by a pelt or their skull!!! I feel fairly well prepared because memorizing things comes easy to me and a lot of the organisms belong to the same class, order or family.
I also get to have a meeting with Trevor, my Offensive Line coach today. It is a standard meeting that everyone of our players go through, but I have a few things to talk to him about. Trevor is a really great guy and he and his wife just had a baby girl named Mylie. I want to know where he sees me as a part of the team and how I fit into the whole scheme of the O-line next year. This last season I was kinda the utility lineman and I was on the depth chart at every position on the line. I feel that I have a great feel for our offense and can play almost any position, which is good but leaves me the Jack-of-all-Trades, good at a most things but not great at anything. We will see how Trevor sees me though.
I finally came to the realization that God LOVES ME!!! I have the hardest time in allowing people to love me, long story and I don't blame anybody but that is how I am. I was reading the book by John Eldridge, "The Sacred Romance" and it finally is starting to sink in that I am the beloved of the Lord and that He would move heaven and earth to get my attention! I have read the verse in Song of Songs 4:9, "You have stolen my heart, my sister and my bride. You have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes." It finally is starting to sink in that whenever I look to the Lord, His heart breaks with love for me. What Freedom!!! I can't wait to lead worship tonight at church... I just need to figure out what songs are on the Lord's heart tonight. I am really enjoying this whole worship thing and I love growing into this calling. Maybe I can share a little about letting the Lord love you at youth group tonight.

Read the Ragamuffing Gospel by Brennan Manning. Absolutely a must read. It will totally rock you. I had 10 copies and now I have none cause I gave them all away! Ask Nikki if she still has a copy, or else Matt D. Unless they gave theirs away as well, which is awesome cause that's what books are for. READ IT.
