Am i normal?

So first i just want to tell you a story.
It was Wednesday night after a very long day and i was at my apartment trying to mark the journals that are due the next morning. Now it is only 10:00pm so i think i have lots of time to finish them before i go to sleep. 10:15pm i'm sleeping with my face probably drooling all over one of my girls' journals. i wake up and after forcing my eyes open for 5 minutes i finish that journal. then i go to bed.
lame sauce.
i can't even stay up after 10:15 anymore. what is wrong with me?
i am clearly not a normal 19 year old.

okay so let me tell you about this week.
Faith Dutton came and spoke to us about relationships. Healthy, Godly, biblical relationships.
oh boy did it rock some peoples boats!!!
So monday....i woke up at 5:30am and knew that God wanted me awake for some reason, but ignored it and went back to sleep.
One of my fellow staff talked about the work she did with girls who were trafficked into the sex industry in Cambodia, that also really stirred some people.
Had my BLS class where we talked about owning the vision that God has given us and how to have vision and aim for that while still focusing on the now, the present.
tuesday was a packed day of meetings with a great few hours of intercession. so powerful!
wednesday was probably my favourite day this week! i had an early morning walk and talk with my Jesus followed by an amazing afternoon with my outreach team at the beach trying to conquer the 15-foot waves. Then going to the community supper feeding that i go to weekly. so so good.
thursday was my roommates (melissa) 20th bday so my other roommate (elise) and i made her one of her favourite breakfasts. It was my last small group time with my girls and a very intense evening. There is this group of students from the University that just put out a documentary about the sex trade in the United States. Some mane people just this it is in Asia, but really it's happening here. So thursday nights we have kinda like a community church service and they showed part of the documentary and the woman who started it spoke. I got the amazing opportunity of being a part of a prayer team that was there to pray for people after who maybe need healing from past abuse and boy was there breakthrough. wow so cool to see God come through like that!!
friday was a morning spent working on the ground with the whole class clearing the land of weeds and unnecessary rubish so the banana trees could grow free, followed by lots of pizza and a lovely water fight!!
the weekend was chill as it always is with me. Trying to just lay low and get some quality time with my Jesus while getting homework done too.
Tomorrow starts another week.
wow.
times is just flying by.
I can't wait to see how God is going to move and how He is going to woo me with His love this week!!

oh reading the book "Follow" by Floyd McLung
if you get the chance to read it DO IT!!
so so good.
