September 16, 2010



Mary Tubbs did my hair just for the fun of it and fun times with Dana and Thomas. Good memories.




Time is flying by! The fourth week of school is nearly over. I pretty much have my schedule set for the semester and its really not that crazy. At times I even wish I was busier! I am taking 19 credits and working about 10 hours a week - picking up three kids from school and watching them for about 2 hours. I already care for them a lot and don't know what I am going to do if I am offered a full-time job in March and have to say good-bye to them.
My 20th birthday was on Tuesday. I don't believe I have ever received so many gifts at any one time! Dana, Jayme, and Shaylynn (my roomies) got me 20 things for the fun of it and then Rosanna (and Mary and Isaiah?) got me quite a few things as well! Mom and Dad, Jonathan, Grandpa, and Aunt Pam are coming on Saturday to hang out for a bit. I guess we are going to the Botanicle Gardens so that should be fun.
This week is homecoming week so we have basically been able to wear jeans and a t-shirt all week...except tomorrow we are supposed to dress our best. I still dont know what I am going to wear, but thats ok. Thats like forever away. =>
Classes are going really really well. I never expected to be learning this much let alone being put in a position to use half of it right after I am taught it! Campus life is way different for some reason this year. Im not nearly as close with my best friends from last year and am getting to know the people who I like never talked with last year. Its crazy. Math is probably my least favorite class, but mostly because I get lost so easily and becasue it doesn't get over until 2:00 or after. I'm loving Foundations of Biblical Counseling, Women's Ministry Foundations and Intro to LCM. Speech is a dreaded class and Daniel is not my favorite. Philosophy and American History are ok, but again, not my favorite.
Rebecca got married yesterday. Kinda crazy. And they found out that the baby is a boy. Sometimes I truly think my life right now is really just one really long bad dream. But I know it isnt. And thats what scares me. Its crazy how much life can change just over the summer. How much people change. How much I changed. I have really been learning so much and the Seeking Him group study that the Faith Family is going through is really really challenging. Its horrible that I have quite a bit of free time, yet I never seem to spend it doing anything worthwhile...like studying my Bible or memorizing Scripture outside of for homework. That is one thing I really need to work on this weekend and next week. Devos have kinda been a here-and-there thing. Some days I get up early enough to do them, and other days I sleep in until the last possible second. =<
AWANA started last night. It was a blast! We had about 12 kids in my room, kindergarten, and it was so much fun meeting the new ones and seeing their excited faces on the first night. Calling starts up next week and Im really looking forward to that as well. Im hoping that I am put in a group that doesn't get mixed up every week. I can't wait to see what God has planned for this year at ABC.
Well, I guess I should work on my speech a bit. Im planning on giving it on Monday and Im not ready at all. I will try to keep this a bit more up-to-date, but no promises. If you think about it, I would appreciate your prayers for me as I minister to my friends, and my spiritual growth. Thanks and have a super evening!
