more than just food

Towards the end of the summer, Jeff and I were talking about having a costa verde potluck every once in a while since so many of us are living there. We decided to go for monthly. Last night, we had our november one. yay for thanksgiving food. seriously now my favorite meal ever.
More than just eating together and playing games, the conversations we were able to have was SO good.
It made me realize how much I'm still in need of learning and studying, how much I don't know, how much I still lack. I've actually been questioning the whole evolution for a while now (ever since last spring when I took bild3), but for the most part, I just kind of said, I believe in the Bible, so yes God created everything; I couldn't justify what evolution is talking about based on all the evidence. Drove me nuts so eventually I just stopped thinking about it.
It's definitely a topic worth knowing, since the Bible says we should always be prepared and ready to answer questions. I'm so thankful we got a chance to share our opinions and our own convictions.

Costa had another blackout around midnight. We were having such a great conversation, that we just figured we'll talk until the light comes back again. But, nope, 1:30am in the morning and still no electricity. Poop!


We talked about things we were struggling with, things that's been on our mind. So good.

The biggest point I realized, was that even though I'm tired/busy/sick for the majority of the time, I am still doing much, much, much better than I deserve. Thank God.




Another note, I'm really frustrated with myself. In terms of how much words can impact me, even after all these time; how much I... suck (for lack of better word).

So in the end, I couldn't quite sleep even when it was 2am in the morning.

Bright side, because of our blackout, Shelby & I were able to meet our neighbors! hahah, God is in control.

totally unrelated: the funniest thing just happened: a bunch of us are at geisel studying. All of a sudden, we hear music playing. Apparently this dude thought his earphone was plugged in but it really wasnt, so all the people around him (including our table) were laughing and debating on whether or not to tell him. Shelby and I, instead, just started snapping to the beat of the song.
Life's funny moments.
