Wedding Nightmares

One of my best friends is getting married in 74 days and I am one of the maids-of-honor. Apparently one of my duties is to have nightmares about Eryn's wedding so Eryn doesn't have them!! Last night I dreamed my 2nd Eryn's Wedding Nightmare. Fortunately it never has anything to do with the wedding going badly. I had the wrong bridesmaid dress and was going to wear my RED Senior recital dress with all of my scarves (crazy, right?) Thankfully Eryn brought the dress with her to the wedding. Problem solved. Everything was just all over the place and stressful. I also had the wrong shoes and was going to wear my closed toed pointy shoes instead of the peep-toe-heels that I forgot to get. THEN I had to call my dad and explain to him that I needed him to bring the closed toed pointy shoes with him to the wedding. Explaining to your Dad what pointy shoes are in a dream is complicated. It was entirely possible I would've ended up wearing my cute black flip flop wedges. I'm singing in the wedding in real life, and I think I tried singing Handel in the dream. Oh man. I have no idea how bad these dreams are going to get the closer we get to the wedding. At least Eryn was happy!

Bible Question!

I've been reading a lot about meditation and how that helps your prayer life because it causes you to respond to the truth you are reading. So this morning I decided to try it and of course I don't fully understand the verse!!
"I said to Yahweh, "You are my Lord; I have nothing good besides You."" Psalm 16:2 HCSB

"I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing." Psalm 16:2 NIV

What does this verse mean? Does it mean that I have absolutely NOTHING good apart from God? Or does it mean that the only good things I have come from God. For example, I consider my family a very good thing. In response to this verse, should they be nothing compared to how I view God? Does that make sense? I'm really interested to see what ya'll have to say!

Time with Friends and Family

This summer has been an absolute blast! God is so good! If China wasn't enough, I have gotten to spend a lot of good time with people that I love. Emily and I had an amazing new adventure making what has to be the most high-tech installment of our music videos. I will post it on here for your viewing pleasure. We had so much fun making it. Unfortunately, our "bad movie streak" is still going strong. Apparently you can't trust Netflix when they say "Romantic musical", especially if it is a Bollywood film! Em, I looked at it again last night and apparently the title means "Love Destroys." Who knew? My mom and grandmother have had fun spending the last couple of days together. We took Gran to her first ever Happy Hour Sonic run and to Starbucks. Mom and I have also had a lot of fun watching movies/tv shows on Netflix. We are totally hooked on British comedies and BBC dramas. They are soooo good! (E, you need to start watching them!) I'm going to miss watching them with her when I start off on the latest adventure. I'll tell that story later when all the details get finalized! I'm really excited to share that story! Anyway, I miss Emily now that she is back in California and I miss Eryn because I haven't seen her in almost 9 months!!!

My latest obsession

I have always loved the Book of Ruth, but recently I have become obsessed! Like pulling out commentaries and picking it to pieces obsessed. Maybe I even ordered a movie about Ruth off of Netflix...All this to say, I was wishing the other day that Beth Moore had done a Bible Study on Ruth. Well, I was on the LPM blog today and realized she is going through a Kelly Minter Bible study on Ruth online. Who's excited? I think I am going to finish up my own study first, and then get the study she is doing with small groups. YAY!!!! So E, if you want to do a Bible study together again...I'm all for it!
