The SONGS running through my head

Over the past few days I've written down the songs that have been stuck in my head. I will warn you, just because they are stuck in my head does not mean they are by any means "good songs!" haha! Soooo... here we go:
I wish I were an Oscar Meyer Weiner
My God Is So Big
Don't Stop Believing-Journey (the glee version is better by the way)
Somethin' Bout Love-David Archuleta
Wannabe-Spice Girls (aka tell me what you want)
Mine-Taylor Swift
It's Raining, It's Pouring-Camp Koinania children's musical
She Will Be Loved-Maroon 5
Everything-Hillsong

hehe I enjoy these lists so I might do one again soon... :P
kind of a really random blog compared to my more serious last blog, but it's all good! :)
In case you want to know, I'm now listening to Glee's version of Don't Stop Believing right NOW! :) That's right, I'm that cool!
Off to do homework so I can have some FUN tomorrow :)
Love, Sari Lyn

I really like this analogy... theory... whatever you would like to title it as...

Here's a look inside my brain:

     What most people see:                                                                            What I'm thinking about:

                                                  

The clock... and the hands are turning                                                                               The gears...
                                                                                 They are somehow turning

SO.... today my Psych teacher went off on a little tangent... and I really liked what he had to say, so naturally, that is the thing running through my head today. It was a theory about how the laws of nature and the way we say things work may not be laws after all. Now just bear with me (and he's probably way better at explaining this than me). So he used the analogy of the clock... it's starts out the way that the deists use their clock analogy... God made this clock... he made it just how he wanted it to be... he wound it up... but instead of sitting back and watching it do what he made it to do like the deists think, he does all the work... he turns the gears... all of them... the little ones, big ones, and medium sized ones... he makes everything in that clock turn and does every little thing necessary to make it work. He puts each piece of dust on it... Everything that clock does is not done because of some set of laws, but because God does it. He just does it consistently the same way, every time. We can trust God to keep that clock working the way that it does, just as we trust the physical laws of the universe. God may not have just created the laws, but, instead, has just always done things the same way. We were talking about how a baby developes in the mother's body (because this is a life-span Psychology class) and he was explaining how each time, the baby developes this way... these things take place... and this is when they take place... but... what if they don't just do that? What if God is the one doing each of those things, every time... he doesn't just decide what the baby would be like and then let nature do it's work to create what he has planned... he gets in there and does it... divides each cell... forms each part. I mean... we can't fathom how big God is... and there is noone who can say that this is too much for God to handle. God could easily do all of these things, everything relating to science, as well as being intimately and personally a part of our everyday lives. He can do everything that makes this world go round as well be the reason our world goes round.... have a relationship with us... mold us emotionally, physically, mentally, etc. God's amazing. Now, it's very possible God created the laws of nature and has them there to help him do the work as he designs, plans, and works in each of our lives, but couldn't it also be true that God does everything? That he has simply chosen to do these things the same way each time, so as to create order? That's just some food for thought that I figured I'd pass on to you.. because I really like it...  It brings a whole new meaning to "You created my inmost being... You knit me together in my mother's womb" (Psalm 139:13 NIV). Idk. I really just was blown away by this. Now, next time i talk to a deist, I will have something to say.

Figured I'd blog, even though there's not much to blog about :)

soooo.... I really don't know what this blog is going to be about at ALL, but I guess we'll find out, won't we!
I have a lot of homework, so I haven't done very many exciting things lately...
Last night Whitney (one of my roommates and I) got ice cream and then sat down to study... we finally got up for hours later, having only done one subjects' worth of reading each.... that's right, just reading... pretty much insane. I don't think you all really want a picture of books again, so I'm not going to put that up.

I'm not in Orchestra this year....

but there's no way that's keeping me from playing :) I will have to set time aside, because I know my life is super busy, but i'm excited! but yeah i'm not in orchestra because there is no way i could fit it in and still work... it would end up being more stressful than enjoyable... so yeah! That's that... pretty sad thing, had me pretty down for a little bit, but you know what? Life goes on.... and It'll all work out :) I don't need to be in orchestra to play... so practice rooms? HERE I COME!

I'm sorry you people reading this have to put up with the boring aspects of my life... it can't be that enjoyable for you.... but thanks for reading anyways :)

UMMM.... WELL!

The whole orchestra thing was one thing on my mind... other than that? ummm.... yeah... nothing very exciting going on right now... just this new life that I'm living... I never showed any pictures of my dorm, did I? Well... this is the dorm that I live in with two other girls: We have some fun plans of ways to decorate it, too... It's changed a little bit since we took these pics, but this is pretty much what it looks like...

k so.... that's my room :) I spend a bit of time in there...

I guess i didn't take pictures of the kitchen/bathroom/closet... but those aren't that exciting anyways... they are all down that hall... kitchen is on the left... past the wall on the left is the bathroom sink... the bathroom and closet are on the right... in case you really wanted to know :P

 

k i don't have much more to say!

SOOO... over and out :)

LOVE, Sari Lyn <3

my thoughts are really random today, so bear with me...

What is Sari thinking today?

WELL!

I am taking an Old Testament: History and Literature class... which means, I'm reading through the old testament in one semester... and am being tested on it :) Here's how far I am...

In case you can't see, that's Genesis 12... I have a ways to go... I'm using the  ESV study Bible... which means I have a bunch of random study notes to read too... not all of them, though! That would be impossible! But I'm kind of excited for this class! It's motivation to read my Bible, which makes me really excited, plus the lectures are going to teach me more about what I'm reading :)

Hmmm, what else?

OH! I got some new crayons :) My mommy bought them for me! there are 120 of them...

aren't they pretty?

I colored in my carebear coloring book with them last night... yes, I am a college student :)

I also got a tv in our room now... one of my roomies broke it in today...

not very exciting, i know!

hmmm... fun things to do at college?

 Watch YouTube

               Play Jenga               

There's this girl... I share this hat with her... well, i kinda miss her... nope... i really miss her... I miss everyone else, too. alot. But that's okay, I guess... I'll see them all soon :) And then we will party it up!

Like i said, really scattered brain today :) I'll try to have interesting stories next time... just saying...

Okay, bye!       

Everything's changing

Well, here's what's running through my head today:

That's right... those are my textbooks... classes start tomorrow. The reason for my blog? Well.... My friend Erica and I moved to college on friday morning, and left many friends behind in our hometown (obviously! haha that's part of going to college) So even though our friends are only like 45 minutes - an hour away, She, our friend Megan, and I have decided to start blogging. It's sort of a way of keeping in touch with eachother (As if facebook, twitter, and texting aren't enough). So this is my blog. My blogs may or may not consist of a picture (or more) of what my mind looks like inside (a picture of the things running through my head) so YEAH! I know what's running through my head right now isn't super exciting, but trust me, I'm sure some really random things will end up on here.

Oh, another thing running through my head???

 

Yup :) My brother, Jared, got married to Alyse on Saturday :) It was a gorgeous wedding and I'm so excited for them!

So, pretty much everythings changing... but it's definitely good change.
