So happy and filled with happy things to say

I absolutely love pulling all-nighters. It's weird... most people dread them, or can make it through the night peacefully but secretly they completely regret putting things off. Now I'm not saying I need to keep procrastinating or that it's an awesome thing but I've always done my best work at night and when I'm pressed for time... I love to just stretch things out, even if it means I don't get much sleep. And I don't think I'm making much sense but... it's a completely contented feeling. The campus is silent and deserted, it's a balmy 48 degrees outside (thank you, desktop weather!) and I'm thinking about hitting the library for a couple hours then checking out the sunrise, then if I'm finished with Research and Writing by then I'll just nap till class at 12:30.

Something else that is really really happy is this amazing movie I just finished. Love, Actually - so feel-good, so lovely and so warm. It's the first time I've watched it. There've been so many times I meant to watch it but it never happened, and tonight was a great night to watch it. When I'm really comfortable with my earthly relationships and so content with so many things in my life. Seeing what's in store for me when God decides it's the right time. Watching this movie has gotten me more excited about the relationships God has ready for me than I've been in a long time. Since I first read "The Great Love". Aaaamazing.

So I'm a CRU leader. And while initially I felt like I wouldn't be welcome (weird how those feelings come about) and still things aren't clicking completely with the entire leadership team, right now so many of those feelings have been washed away after prayer this morning and our first meeting as a team tonight. The importance of prayer on our campus is really beginning to sink in like it hasn't for the past semester. I really hope a lot of good comes out of my relationships with these guys and to CRU and to the rest of the campus.
