Here are some things.

• A man at work today told me that I looked happy. I decided it's nice to be told you look happy. It makes you feel happier.
  
• It's 11:22pm and I have not yet started my hermeneutics homework that is due tomorrow. Its going to be another frantic day tomorrow full of hermeneutics. Why do I do this to myself?
• Tonight I watched a man cry because he misses his family so much and is so far from home. I could relate. I could barely hold back the tears myself. My heart aches for this man because I know a bitter portion of what he is feeling.
  
• I miss hugs. Back home I give/get hugs everytime I see and leave a friend Here, that doesn't happen. 29 more days. I especially miss my dad's hugs. Even though home is not really "home" anymore, there is something sweet about getting back there. Right now, I'm just looking forward to so many hugs.
• The words to the song "I Will Sing of Your Mercy" keep going through my head.
  
• Why is it that hope disappointed hurts so much?
  
• I'm thankful that God loves me even when I'm not lovable or I don't have it all together.
