"Brilliant colors I have never seen..."

Ah. Fall is here. The leaves are really beginning to be noticeably vibrant. I love this time of year!

Today the weather is actually very dreary: cloudy, windy, and cold. But, I like it. :) I AM ready for some sunshine after having had so much rain over the last month or two, but today feels like a lazy day. I'm actually going to be home most of the day to enjoy the cold weather.

I have a list of things I plan to do today:

1.) Take pictures. Surprised? Didn't think so.

2.) Go down to the creek and sit in my favorite tree and/or hammock while listening to music and reading/working on homework/thinking.

3.) Enjoy homemade chili for lunch (yum!). It's a very soup-ish sort of day....

4.) COMPLETELY FINISH some college applications.

5.) PRACTICE. Sheesh. I'm such a slacker.

6.) Go to Bible study with dear friends this evening. I haven't been to Bible study in a while and I miss it immensely!

7.) After that, who knows. :) I'm feeling like Starbucks today, but I'll have to find someone to go with. I'm not much in the mood to go alone. Maybe I'll drag my sister there or a friend after Bible study. We'll see.

So I have a very full day ahead of me today. :)

I'm excited. We have a two day break from Chatt State classes (Monday and Tuesday) next week! :) I don't get out of Hilger classes, but at least it frees up my schedule some! :)

ANDDDDD, I have a very fun weekend planned:

Tonight- Bible study then who knows....

Tomorrow- Work then Abby's birthdayyyy!

Sunday- I don't actually know.... But I know something will come up.

Monday- Cinnamon rolls with two awesome people (which should be four awesome people total, but Emily is going out of town during the most inconvenient weekend this semester. Sheesh. She'll be missed, but I envy her for getting a full fall break. MS sounds awesome. I'm jealous. It'll definitely beat our cinnamon rolls....)

Anyway, I don't know why I felt like telling my life schedule.

Okay. I HAVE to get off of here if I intend to accomplish all that I have planned for the day.

Goodbye, all!

P.S.-

Here are some of my favorite song lyrics ever (I say that a lot....). The line "brilliant colors I have never seen" reminds me of the Fall leaves beginning to change.

Deep Enough to Dream by Chris Rice

Lazy summer afternoon
Screened in porch and nothin' to do
I just kicked off my tennis shoes
Slouchin' in a plastic chair
Rakin' my fingers through my hair
I close my eyes and I leave them there
And I yawn, and sigh, and slowly fade away

Deep enough to dream in brilliant colors
I have never seen
Deep enough to join a billion people
For a wedding feast
Deep enough to reach out and touch
The face of the One who made me
And oh, the love I feel, and oh the peace
Do I ever have to wake up

Awakened by a familiar sound
A clumsy fly is buzzin' around
He bumps the screen and he tumbles down
He gathers about his wits and pride
And tries again for the hundredth time
'Cause freedom calls from the other side
And I smile and nod, and slowly drift away

Deep enough to dream in brilliant colors
I have never seen
Deep enough to join a billion people
For a wedding feast
Deep enough to reach out and touch
The face of the One who made me
And oh, the love I feel, and oh the peace
Do I ever have to wake up

'Cause peace is pouring over my soul
See the lambs and the lions playin'
I join in and I drink the music
Holiness is the air I'm breathin'
My faithful heroes break the bread
And answer all of my questions
Not to mention what the streets are made of
My heart's held hostage by this love

And these brilliant colors I have never seen
I join a billion people for a wedding feast
And I reach out and touch the face of the One who made me
And oh, the love I feel, and oh the peace
Do I ever have to wake up

Do I ever have to wake up
Do I ever have to wake up
Do I really have to wake up now
