10/28/09: Still not so good
It's still been tough trying to give up the extra time to God. I'm beginning to realize more and more that our culture is a media-saturated one. I'm diving into media without even realizing as I'm at school. I'm hoping that going home on Friday is going to help. I don't have much else to say for today. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
Things I need to do: Read. The. Bible.

10/29/09: I'm getting there
I actually succeeded on many levels today in spending time alone with God. I was able to finish the book of Leviticus and start the book of Numbers. Like I've said in my previous post, I'm becoming more and more interested in the little things I pick up from reading the books. God is instilling a love for His word in my heart, something I've prayed for since before STEM. I guess now was a good time to answer it. I can't explain this weird awe and excitement I get when I read Scripture except as something divinely inspired. It was a good day today. I didn't really go to class (again) but it was a good day nonetheless. I was pretty terrible at KCM praise. My heart was really jumbled and my mind was elsewhere but I'm glad I pulled through it. It was my last time playing for them. A lot of things have been on my mind lately... John Piper really makes me think. A lot. I don't know if that's a good thing. I'm going to start reading Desiring God very soon. I hope it's as good as Eric says it is. Today I got to sit down and talk for an extended amount of time with a Jazz Guitar major. He's a sophomore and apparently he's a ghost member of KCM haha. He's an absolutely PHENOMENAL guitar player. I mean, I wouldn't expect any less from our music school but holy moly, he's GOOD. He taught me a few very very simple chord inversions to try out so I'm excited. His church's praise band is blessed to have him. Wow. It's four a.m. I haven't stayed up at school on a Thursday night since... I don't know when. Goodness. What a weird feeling.
Thing I need to do: PRACTICE GUITAR (BASS). PRACTICE DRUMS. READ THE BIBLE. PRAY. GO POO.
