Hope and Freedom

I'm sitting here in my Sci-Vis class making and animating an electric can opener in 3D. I finished quickly and turn on my laptop (aka use iTunes) and the song "Set Me Free" by Casting Crowns started playing. This song is just what I needed to hear. Lately, it's been a depressing month. One, it's almost Valentine's Day, that's enough to make anyone depressed. Two, life generally sucks.

Point is, even though during all the stress (I've cried my stress tears for the year already...and it's not even musical season yet...) I still have hope. Hope that things will get better, that things will work out, that I can make it through this. Of course I'm going to need Jesus and his angels to get me through the next couple months even more than usual. My schedule pretty much exploded to the point I've been staying on campus... a lot...

No matter how broken down one can feel, there's always that bit of hope, somewhere. I once heard a saying that went "It's the minority that screams so loud that everyone thinks there's so much more than there really are." I find this to be quite true, even in politics haha.

Today in tech theatre, I pulled out a stapler from my purse. Duckie was wowed and said "Do you also carry the cure for cancer in there?" My response: "Maybe, I carry DO hope in there." I pulled out my sticky note pad with my prewritten notes of love and hope on them. I haven't actually gotten around to putting many up today because of my busy meeting schedule, but I'll do it soon enough.

That brings me to last night, a great friend of mine finally helped me get the guts to work on my other blogish site thingy... I have been a huge supporter of Operation Beautiful for a long long time. I started working on what I call Unconditional Love Project. It's my personal campaign of love. I want to keep leaving these notes of love, hopefully I'll get other people to do the same. I want a blog dedicated to encouragement, but I don't want to be the sole writer, more like the editor. It's a big dream for it to be anything big, but I think I have the right to dream like that ever once in a while. Plus, as Paul put it "If you can get one person to smile for one second even once, it's all worth it." Very true words.

Not really much else to write today... I got 3 hours of sleep last night sooo yeahh... brain=fried.
